Property Oracle says ..
This property is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment located in Bocking South, Braintree. The apartment is situated within a converted building, which appears to be well maintained from the provided images. The development has attractive communal gardens. The property benefits from a private patio area.
The location is positive, with several highly-rated primary schools within a short distance (less than 1km). Braintree train station is also reasonably close, providing convenient access to other towns and cities.
Based on the images, the property appears to be in excellent condition. The interior is modern and well-presented, and there is no visible evidence of disrepair or the need for renovation. The kitchen and bathroom appear recently updated or new.
The property has a relatively small plot size (625 sqft), but it includes a private patio area for outdoor space. The communal gardens offer additional green space.
Considering the average price per square foot in the area (£321) and the property’s size (496.28 sqft), a rough estimate of the expected price would be around £159,000. The list price of £259,995 appears significantly higher than this estimate. However, the lack of sqft data for comparable properties makes a precise price comparison difficult. The higher price might reflect the desirable location, the modern condition of the apartment, and the included private patio and communal gardens. Further investigation into comparable properties with accurate sqft data would be needed to fully assess the price’s reasonableness.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
