The list price of £550,000 seems reasonable considering the property’s size (2,722.19 sqft), number of bedrooms (5), and location in Prettygate. While the average price per square foot for nearby streets is unavailable, comparable nearby properties suggest the price is within the expected range for a five-bedroom house in this area. However, the lack of precise comparable data makes a definitive assessment challenging. The relatively large garden also contributes to its value.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in generally good condition. While some aspects of the interior decor might be considered dated, the structure and major systems seem well-maintained. There is no visible evidence of significant repairs or renovations needed, although a potential buyer might wish to update the interior to their personal taste.

The proximity to several well-regarded schools (Lexden Primary, Home Farm Primary, St Teresa’s Catholic Primary, all rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted) is a significant plus for families. The distance to Colchester town centre and train station is reasonable, although not walking distance for most. The available data doesn’t provide information on the immediate proximity to shops and other amenities, but the general reputation of Prettygate suggests a good level of local services.

The property boasts a sizeable garden, as evidenced by the photographs.
