The list price of £385,000 seems reasonably competitive for a four-bedroom detached house in Old Heath and the Hythe, Colchester, considering its size (1500 sqft) and the presence of a garden. However, without specific data on average prices per square foot for similar properties in the area, a more precise evaluation is challenging. The lack of plot size information in the dataset hampers an accurate comparative analysis.

Based on the photographs, the property appears to be in generally good condition, though some updates could enhance its appeal. The interiors are presentable but show signs of wear and tear that reflect its age. A significant renovation or overhaul is not needed, but certain aspects could benefit from modernization and updating of fixtures and fittings.

The property is located in Old Heath and the Hythe, Colchester. This area benefits from its proximity to several good primary schools (all rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), within a 1.5km radius. Transportation links are also reasonable, with Colchester Town train station approximately 1.85km away. While this is not a central location within Colchester, it provides a relatively peaceful residential setting with convenient access to amenities and transport.

The property features a good-sized rear garden, as shown in the photographs, suggesting a higher than average amount of outdoor space compared to similar properties in the area. This adds to the property’s overall appeal and livability.
