Property Oracle says ..
This three-bedroom, two-bathroom detached bungalow in Prettygate, Colchester, is presented by Boydens estate agents. Located on Sterling Close, the property benefits from a desirable location near highly-rated primary schools (St. Teresa’s Catholic Primary and Home Farm Primary, both rated ‘Outstanding’). The property includes a manageable garden and offers easy access to local amenities. The house itself presents as well-maintained but could benefit from some modernization. The interior decor appears dated, and kitchen and bathroom updates would enhance its contemporary appeal. While pictures show a decent-sized living area and three bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, the specific square footage is absent, making a definite assessment of space challenging. The exterior, showing a well-kept lawn and mature landscaping, adds to the property’s curb appeal. The absence of plot size details in the listing prevents a definitive conclusion on the land’s extent and value. While the £450,000 list price is in line with the Sterling Close average, it would greatly benefit from providing detailed square footage information to allow for an informed comparative analysis of price per square foot against local averages. Overall, the property would make a suitable home for a family seeking a well-located property in a desirable area, but potential buyers should budget for some interior renovations to meet current preferences.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
