The list price of £895,000 seems relatively reasonable, considering the property is a new build, contemporary four-bedroom house, with three bathrooms in a desirable rural location. Nearby comparable listings range from £695,000 to £895,000. The size (3,042.96 sqft) also contributes to justifying the asking price, given the lack of a clear price per sqft metric for local properties. However, a more precise cost-per-square-foot analysis would refine the price assessment, as would understanding plot size. The lack of this precise data slightly lowers the score.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in excellent condition. It’s a new build with modern finishes and high-quality fixtures and fittings. The interior is clean, well-maintained, and has a contemporary aesthetic. There is no visible evidence of damage or required repairs.

The property is situated in Hempstead, a village in the Uttlesford district of Essex. While the immediate vicinity lacks detailed transportation information, its proximity to Steeple Bumpstead (1.97km) and several other villages suggests reasonable access to amenities. The presence of several primary schools within a 5km radius also adds to its family-friendly appeal. However, the lack of readily available transport links slightly detracts from the overall score. The peaceful countryside setting may be a draw for some, but could be a disadvantage for others needing quick access to urban areas.

The property includes a garden, but its size is not explicitly specified. The provided aerial photographs show a modest-sized garden, appropriate for the property’s size but not exceptionally large. There is also a designated parking area and what appears to be some additional outside space. The relatively small size, in comparison to what might be considered a large garden, results in a moderate score.
