The property is located on The Lane, West Mersea, a village in Essex. Based on the provided images, the property appears to be a charming, older home with character features such as exposed beams. The kitchen shows signs of recent renovation or updating with modern appliances. The bathroom, while functional, seems to be in need of some modernisation. The property benefits from a garden, which is visible in the provided photos. The garden is relatively small but appears well-maintained. The location is desirable, given its proximity to Mersea Island School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), and the coastal setting of West Mersea. However, the lack of detailed information regarding the plot size and the absence of nearby transportation data limits a comprehensive assessment of the land and location scores. The list price of £450,000 is slightly higher than the average price of £348,914 for the area, but considering the property’s unique character, the relatively updated kitchen, and the desirable location, the price may be reasonable. However, the lack of sqft data for comparable properties makes a precise price-per-sqft comparison difficult. The property’s condition is a mixture; some areas appear well-maintained and recently updated, while others may require some modernisation.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
