There is evidence of a communal garden area, which is a positive aspect. Writtle is a village close to Chelmsford, offering a balance between rural and urban living. The proximity to Chelmsford provides access to better transport links and amenities, while Writtle itself has a more tranquil setting. There are several schools nearby, including Writtle University College and several well-regarded primary schools. The distance to the nearest train station is approximately 3.95 km. Considering the property’s condition, location, and size, the list price of £225,000 appears to be in line with or slightly below the average price for the area. The average price for properties in the area is £244,515, and the average price per square foot is £257. While the property is smaller than the average, its modern condition and desirable location could justify the price. However, the lack of specific details regarding the plot size and the absence of comparable property data in terms of square footage makes a precise price comparison difficult. Nearby comparable properties show prices ranging from £92,000 to £240,000 for flats in Melba Court.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
