The asking price seems reasonable, especially considering the condition of the property and its location on Cromwell Lane. The lack of comparable properties with square footage data makes a precise price-per-square-foot comparison impossible. However, considering the nearby property sales and the apparent recent renovations, the price falls within the expected range for a two-bedroom cottage in a desirable area.

The property appears well-maintained and updated from the photographs. The kitchen and bathroom show signs of recent refurbishment or renovation. While the exterior is charming, the internal pictures suggest a comfortable, updated property, although some original features remain. This avoids being overly modern or overly rustic, resulting in a balanced score.

The property is situated on Cromwell Lane in Maldon, which benefits from its proximity to Maldon’s historic high street and several amenities. The presence of nearby schools (some with ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings) adds to its family-friendly appeal. While transportation links might not be directly on the doorstep, the relatively short distance to Witham and North Fambridge train stations provides reasonable access to other areas. The high average price of nearby Silver Street suggests desirability of the immediate area.

The property includes a garden, which is a positive attribute. However, based on the images, the size of the garden appears relatively small for a property of this type and price point in the area. Therefore, the score reflects that it is adequate but not extensive.
