The list price of £400,000 seems relatively reasonable considering the property’s condition, location, and the nearby comparable properties. While some nearby properties are listed at higher prices, others are lower, suggesting the price is within the range of market value for similar properties in the area. The lack of square footage data for comparable properties makes a precise per-square-foot comparison difficult. The approved planning permission for loft conversion adds potential future value.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in excellent condition. It has recently been renovated or refurbished, with modern fixtures, fittings, and a contemporary design throughout. The kitchen and bathroom appear new, and the overall presentation is very clean and well-maintained.

The property is located in Braintree West, close to the highly-rated St Michael’s Church of England Primary School (0.29km). Braintree town centre and train station are also within a reasonable distance. The proximity to good schools and transport links makes this a desirable location for families. Several nearby streets show average prices above the listed price, suggesting it’s situated in a relatively affluent area.

The property includes a garden of reasonable size, offering some outdoor space. While not extensive, it provides an area for relaxation and enjoyment, and includes a patio area and pergola. The size is not exceptionally large, hence the score.
