The list price of £400,000 seems relatively reasonable, given the limited information on comparable properties, the property’s size (1,629 sq ft) and the location. Considering the need for renovation, it is positioned well for the market compared to similar properties. More detailed information on the sale prices of similar properties in the area would be required for a more definitive assessment. However it is in a good range for this area

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in fair condition. While it’s habitable, it shows signs of age and requires some updating. The décor is dated, and several areas could benefit from modernisation and refurbishment to enhance its overall appeal and value. The property is clean but needs updating.

The property is situated in Abberton, a village near Colchester. While Abberton itself may be considered a more rural location, its proximity to Colchester (approximately 7.5km to the train station) offers access to a wider range of amenities and better transport links. The presence of nearby schools, albeit with mixed Ofsted ratings, adds to its family appeal. The location is generally pleasant, but not exceptionally convenient without a car.

The property includes a reasonably sized garden with a conservatory and a double garage. While the exact plot size isn’t specified, the images suggest a garden larger than many similar properties, offering potential for improvement and outdoor living.
