The list price of £280,000 seems reasonable considering the property’s location and apparent condition. Comparable properties on Straight Road are listed between £240,000 and £400,000. The lack of square footage information for comparable properties makes a precise per-square-foot analysis impossible. This is further complicated by the small size of the garden. However, the price falls within the average range for similar properties in the area.

Based on the photos, the property appears to be in good condition. It has been recently renovated or updated, with a modern kitchen and bathroom. The interior is presented well and shows no obvious signs of significant disrepair or damage. Whilst the photos present a positive view of the property and its renovation, it is impossible to judge its structural soundness from solely visual information.

The property is located in Prettygate, Colchester, which benefits from being relatively close to Colchester town centre and its amenities. The proximity to several well-regarded schools (Gosbecks Primary, Prettygate Junior and Infant Schools, and St Teresa’s Catholic Primary) also adds to its appeal for families. However, the immediate surroundings of Straight Road itself are not explicitly described, therefore the score is adjusted down slightly.

The property has a garden, which is a positive aspect. However, the size of the garden appears to be relatively small, based on the provided photos. There is no quantitative information provided on plot size, hence the modest score.
