The list price of £650,000 seems somewhat high relative to comparable properties in the immediate vicinity. While there are some nearby properties with similar numbers of bedrooms, the lack of square footage data makes a precise comparison difficult. Given its condition, the overall size, and the considerable outdoor space, the price sits at the upper end of what one might expect. The property might appeal to buyers seeking this specific combination of features and location, thus it’s not considered poor value.

From the photos, the property appears generally well-maintained but could benefit from some modernisation. The interior shows some dated features (wallpaper, kitchen cabinets) and the overall aesthetic might appeal more to some buyers than others. A full refurbishment would likely significantly enhance its value but, in its current state, it is habitable and functional.

The property is situated on Shakespeare Avenue in Langdon Hills, Basildon. Langdon Hills benefits from a good reputation, proximity to Laindon railway station (1.41km), and several well-regarded primary schools within a reasonable distance (Merrylands Primary School, Great Berry Primary School). The area is described as ‘extremely sought after’, suggesting good desirability and potential for capital appreciation. However, Basildon as a whole may not be considered top tier by all buyers, hence the score is not a 10.

The property boasts a substantial garden with a large lawn area, patio, outbuildings (including what appears to be a games room/bar), and even a pond. This provides significant outdoor space compared to many properties in the area and adds considerably to its appeal and potential use, scoring higher than average.
