The list price of £400,000 seems reasonable considering the property’s size (1445 sqft) and location. Nearby similar properties in Perry Hill are listed around the same price range, and the nearby street average prices also indicate a comparable value. Although the need for modernisation would likely result in additional costs for a buyer, the potential of the property after renovation could justify the current asking price.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in reasonable condition but requires some updating and modernisation. While the structure seems sound, the interior décor and fixtures are dated. The kitchen and bathrooms show signs of age and could benefit from renovation. The garden, while spacious, seems overgrown and in need of maintenance.

The property is located in Perry Hill, Chelmsford, which benefits from proximity to Chelmsford city centre and its amenities, including the train station (1.62km). Several schools are within a reasonable distance, including Trinity Road Primary School (0.53km) and Chelmsford Hospital School (0.79km). This makes the location convenient for families and commuters. However, the lack of detailed information on the immediate surroundings and the specific character of Perry Hill slightly lowers the score.

The property includes a garden, which appears to be relatively large from the photos, offering good potential. However, the lack of a precise plot size measurement makes it difficult to provide a higher score. The garden’s condition, shown as overgrown, would benefit from some work, therefore influencing the lower end of the scale.
