The kitchen and bathrooms seem functional and well-maintained, although some may prefer a more modern aesthetic. The property has a garden, which is a desirable feature in the UK housing market, although the size is not specified in the provided information. The presence of a garden adds to the overall appeal and value of the property. Considering the property’s size (1,139 sqft), location in Shrub End, Colchester, its condition, and the presence of a garden, the asking price of £425,000 appears to be at the higher end of the market value. While the property is larger than average and offers five bedrooms, the average price per sqft in the area (£393) suggests a potential overvaluation. However, the proximity to schools and transport links may justify the higher price point for some buyers. A more comprehensive market analysis, including a detailed comparison to recent sales of similar properties in the immediate vicinity, would provide a more accurate assessment of the property’s value.
