Jackson Stops says ..
Weathercock House is an elegant early to mid-Victorian five bedroom family home nestled within open farmland occupying private grounds in excess 0.25 acre. The property comes with an attached former bakery which would lend itself to conversion subject to planning consent.
Property Oracle says ..
The property is a 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom house with a total area of 2,207.68 sqft. The list price is £925,000. The property includes a substantial garden, which is a desirable feature in the UK housing market. The images show the property to be in good condition, with a recently modernised kitchen and bathrooms. The property appears well-maintained and updated, suggesting minimal need for immediate repairs or renovations. The location in West Mersea offers a rural setting with proximity to open fields and countryside views. While it may be a quieter area with less immediate access to amenities compared to more urban locations, the presence of Mersea Island School within a reasonable distance (1.91 km) is a positive factor for families. The average house price in the area is significantly lower (£348,914) than the list price of this property, suggesting a premium price. However, the property’s size (2,207.68 sqft), condition, and the substantial garden area justify a higher price per sqft compared to the average in the area (£356). The proximity to the coast and the rural setting contribute to the higher price point. Considering the size, condition, and location, the list price of £925,000 appears reasonable, though at the higher end of the market for the area.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
