The list price of £425,000 seems reasonable considering the property’s condition, location, and size, especially given the average price of similar properties on Portland Close. However, the lack of precise square footage data and comparative pricing data for comparable properties makes it difficult to definitively assess the precise value for money. Therefore, a score reflecting reasonable but not exceptional value is assigned.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in excellent condition. The interior is modern, well-maintained, and tastefully decorated. The kitchen and bathrooms are contemporary and appear to be recently updated. The overall impression is one of a very well-cared-for property.

The property is located in Portland Close, Braintree, which benefits from its proximity to Braintree town centre, providing convenient access to shops, amenities, and transportation links. The presence of well-regarded primary and secondary schools within a reasonable distance further enhances its family-friendly appeal. However, the specific location within Bocking Blackwater might not be considered the most desirable part of Braintree by all buyers, limiting the score.

While the property has a rear garden, its size appears relatively modest based on the images. There is a patio area and artificial turf, but it does not appear to offer expansive outdoor space, therefore a mid-range score is given.
