The list price of £400,000 seems relatively reasonable considering the property’s apparent excellent condition, location in Latchingdon, and the size of the garden. However, a lack of precise square footage data for the property itself and comparable properties in the immediate area makes a definitive statement about value for money challenging. The comparable sales data is limited, preventing an exact price-per-square-foot analysis. Given the available data, the price falls within the plausible range for a similar property in the area but could be considered slightly above average given a more complete data set.

The property appears to be in excellent condition based on the provided photographs. The interior is modern, well-maintained, and stylishly decorated. The kitchen and bathrooms appear recently updated. There’s no visible evidence of significant repairs or renovations needed. The external appearance of the property is also well-presented and reflects a high level of maintenance.

Latchingdon is a desirable village in Essex, benefiting from a good primary school (Latchingdon Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) within a short distance. The proximity to Althorne train station, offering links to London, also adds to its appeal. While it’s a relatively small village, this contributes to its peaceful atmosphere which is a positive for many buyers. However, the limited amenities may detract from the score slightly for those seeking a more vibrant urban environment.

The property has a garden of decent size, sufficient for family use. While not exceptionally large, it provides ample outdoor space for recreation. The presence of a patio area and the established landscaping are positive attributes. The inclusion of a garage is another valuable feature adding to the overall outdoor space.
