The list price of £625,000 seems reasonable considering the property’s size (although square footage is missing), location, and the presence of a substantial garden. Nearby comparable properties indicate a range of prices. While some are higher, particularly the more luxurious properties like those on Elm Close, and others are lower (like those on Mandeville Way itself), this property’s price falls into the middle to higher end of the market range for a similar number of bedrooms. Further, there is a need for some modernisation, meaning that the price reflects its current condition.

Based on the provided photos, the property appears to be in generally good condition. However, some interior spaces are dated with older fittings and require modernisation to meet contemporary standards. The exterior is well-maintained, though some landscaping updates might be desired. While structurally sound, cosmetic improvements would increase its market appeal and overall condition score.

The property is situated in Broomfield, Chelmsford, a desirable residential area known for its family-friendly atmosphere. Its proximity to good schools such as Chelmer Valley High School (0.55km) and Broomfield Primary School (1.04km), both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, significantly enhances its appeal. The 4.05km distance to Chelmsford train station provides good transport links. While some might prefer closer proximity to the city centre, the balance of tranquility and accessibility makes it a strong location.

The property boasts a sizeable garden, visible in the provided images. The images show a relatively large, mostly grassy plot providing ample outdoor space. This is a significant positive compared to many properties in the area, where gardens are often smaller. The garden is also useable, with some paved areas.
