The list price of £499,950 seems relatively reasonable given comparable properties listed nearby with varying square footage and overall condition, though the lack of precise square footage on most comparable properties makes direct comparison difficult. The property’s need for modernisation could be factored into a lower price point, but the land and location partially offset this consideration. The average prices in the neighbouring streets are not provided in square footage which makes the relative value difficult to determine.

The property shows its age. While structurally sound, it requires some modernisation. The kitchen and bathrooms appear dated, and the interior decor is somewhat outdated. Some parts, like the carpets, show signs of wear. The need for refurbishment is evident, hence the score.

West Mersea is a desirable coastal location in Essex, known for its charming atmosphere and proximity to the beach. The presence of a nearby primary school (Mersea Island School) rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted is a positive factor for families. However, the limited transportation options (only Wivenhoe train station at a considerable distance) and lack of extensive local amenities might detract slightly from its score.

The property includes a garden of fair size. The additional land shown in the images increases the overall land area. A detached garage and shed add further to the property. While it’s not a huge plot, it’s sufficient for outdoor use and offers more space than many comparable properties in the area.
