The asking price of £500,000 falls within the range suggested by a similar listing on Surrey Lane itself. Given the property’s size, features (such as the thatch roof), and the relatively good condition apparent from images, the price seems reasonable within the Tiptree market, although further comparative data, especially average price per square foot, would be necessary for a more precise evaluation. The lack of plot size information impacts the precise price per sqft calculation, and a definitive judgment on price vs. value is difficult without this data.

The property appears well-maintained and in good condition, showcasing a blend of period features and modern updates. The images suggest that while some cosmetic choices may be subjective, the property’s structure and key systems seem to be in good working order. However, it’s not in ‘excellent’ condition, therefore a score of 7 is appropriate.

Tiptree is a desirable village in Essex, known for its good schools and amenities. The proximity to several well-regarded primary schools (Tiptree Heath Primary School, St Luke’s Church of England Controlled Primary School, etc.) and Thurstable School Sports College and Sixth Form Centre is a significant plus for families. While train station access requires a short drive, the village itself offers a convenient and pleasant living environment.

The property includes a sizeable garden with various outbuildings (sheds, etc.). The garden is well-landscaped and offers ample outdoor space. While the exact plot size isn’t stated, the photos clearly indicate a significant amount of land compared to typical properties in the area, deserving of a score above average.
