Shenfield Crescent is located in Brentwood, Essex. The property is a bungalow with four bedrooms and one bathroom, offering 2,504.86 sqft of living space and a 1,340 sqft plot. The list price is £800,000.

The property benefits from being close to several highly-rated schools, including Hogarth Primary School and Nursery and Brentwood Ursuline Convent High School, both rated as ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The proximity to Brentwood train station (1.73km) provides convenient access to London and other areas via TfL Rail.

Based on the images, the property appears to be in generally good condition but could benefit from some modernisation. The interior decor is dated, and while the structure seems sound, an update would enhance its appeal and value. The kitchen and bathrooms, in particular, show their age and would likely benefit from refurbishment. The property features a sizable garden with mature trees and landscaping, adding to its appeal.

Considering the average house price in the area is £358,721 and the average price per sqft is £428, the asking price of £800,000 for this 2,504.86 sqft property seems high. While the location and land are positive attributes, the need for modernisation impacts the overall value proposition. Nearby comparable properties on Shenfield Crescent range from £415,000 to £950,000, however, sqft data is limited for these properties, making a direct comparison challenging. The property’s unique features, such as the sizable garden and proximity to good schools and transport links, could justify a higher price point, but a comprehensive valuation considering the required modernisation is recommended.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
