The list price of £1,250,000 is relatively high compared to the average property price in the area (£731,249). The price per square foot is £758, which is above the average of £503. However, the property offers a substantial 1,650 sqft of living space, five bedrooms, and significant land including fishing lakes, which justifies a higher price point. Considering the condition and the need for some modernisation, the price may be slightly inflated but not unreasonable given the unique features and size of the property.

The interior photos reveal a house that is reasonably well-maintained but could benefit from some modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom, in particular, appear dated. While the rooms are generally tidy and functional, a refresh would likely increase the property’s appeal. There’s also an outbuilding that looks modern and in good condition, adding to the property’s value, however, the main house could use some TLC.

The property is located in Hatfield Peverel, which offers a blend of rural and semi-rural living. It’s near enough to local amenities, including schools and transportation (Hatfield Peverel station), but also provides a degree of seclusion. The nearby schools, Hatfield Peverel Infant School and Hatfield Peverel St Andrew’S Junior School, both have a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating, which is a plus for families.

The property boasts a significant amount of land, including what appears to be a large garden and access to fishing lakes. This is a major selling point, offering recreational opportunities and potential for further development or landscaping. The plot size is substantial, providing privacy and a sense of space.
