While the listed price of £575,000 is substantial, comparable properties in the area don’t have readily available sqft data to enable precise price-per-sqft comparison. Given the property’s size, location, and presence of a large garden, the price seems relatively in line with the market in the area, though potentially not a significant bargain.

The property appears generally well-maintained from the photos, though some rooms show signs of needing updating or modernising. The kitchen and some bathrooms seem dated but functional. The overall condition is adequate but not exceptional.

The property is situated in Friars Close, Highwoods, Colchester, which benefits from proximity to Highwoods Country Park, offering green space and recreational opportunities. Several ‘Good’-rated primary schools are within a reasonable distance, enhancing its family appeal. The presence of nearby bus routes and access to the A12/A120 improves its transport links, although it’s not in the immediate city centre. The average house price on nearby streets like Thistledown suggests a relatively high-value area.

The property includes a sizeable garden, described as ‘wrap-around’ in the listing, suggesting significant outdoor space. This is a notable advantage, especially for families.
