The property is located in Karen Close, Wickford, Essex, and is a 3-bedroom house with 1 bathroom. The list price is £425,000, and the property has 589 square feet of living space. The average price for properties in the area is £361,528, with an average of 779 square feet and an average price per square foot of £464. The property benefits from being close to several schools, including Castledon School (Good Ofsted rating) and The Bromfords School and Sixth Form College (Good Ofsted rating), both within a kilometer. Wickford train station is also approximately 1.20 km away, providing convenient access to transport links. The presence of a garden is evident in the provided photographs, suggesting a positive aspect for outdoor space. Based on the images, the property appears to be in good condition. There is no visible evidence of significant repairs or renovations needed. The extension to the rear, shown in the photos, appears to be a recent addition and is of good quality. The kitchen and bathrooms appear to be well-maintained and functional. Considering the property’s condition, location, and the presence of a garden, the list price of £425,000 seems slightly above average for the area, given the smaller than average square footage. However, the recent extension and proximity to good schools and transport links may justify the higher price point compared to some other properties in the area. Nearby properties on Karen Close have sold for significantly less, ranging from £85,000 to £375,000, however, the lack of square footage information for these properties makes direct comparison difficult. Further investigation into the specifics of these sales would be beneficial to reach a more definitive conclusion on price.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
