The list price of £400,000 for a 1000 sqft, four-bedroom semi-detached house with a good garden seems reasonable in the context of the surrounding area. While comparative data for exact square footage is absent, nearby properties in the area and on similar streets (though with varied house size, indicating this may be at the smaller end) sell for prices within a similar range. A detailed comparison against properties of similar size and specification would give a more definitive valuation.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in good condition. The interior is well-maintained, modern, and recently decorated. While there is no visible evidence of major repairs needed, a detailed survey would provide more comprehensive insights. The overall impression is of a clean, updated home ready for immediate occupancy.

The property is located in Stilemans Wood, Cressing, which benefits from its proximity to good schools like Alec Hunter Academy (0.59km) and Beckers Green Primary School (0.69km). The nearby transportation links to Braintree Freeport and several train stations also add to its convenience. While it might not be in the absolute heart of a bustling town centre, the relative quiet and family-oriented nature of the area can be a significant positive for many buyers.

The property has a sizeable garden, as shown in the photographs. While the exact plot size isn’t stated, it seems to offer sufficient space for outdoor activities and relaxation. The average size of gardens in the area would provide additional context but isn’t available.
