The list price of £450,000 for a 1000 sqft, 3-bedroom house in Writtle seems reasonably priced considering the nearby property sales. Although the exact price per sqft cannot be calculated due to missing data in nearby listings, comparable properties within the village seem to range from £320,000 to over £500,000. The property’s condition and modest garden size prevent it from achieving a higher price score.

The property appears to be in generally habitable condition, but some cosmetic updating seems necessary. The kitchen and bathroom show their age and could benefit from modernization. While structurally sound, the interior decor and fittings indicate a need for refurbishment, hence the mid-range score.

Writtle is a popular village in Essex, known for its village atmosphere and proximity to Chelmsford. The presence of good schools (Writtle Infant and Junior Schools both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and relatively close proximity to Chelmsford (6.08km to Chelmsford train station) enhances its desirability. However, the limited information on immediate street-level amenities and the lack of specifics on the property’s exact location within Writtle slightly reduce the score.

The property has a garden, which is a positive aspect. However, the size of the garden appears relatively modest based on the provided images. It’s not excessively large, nor is it exceptionally small, justifying a moderate score.
