This four-bedroom detached house in Brougham Glades, Stanway, Colchester, presents a mixed bag. Its location is a significant strength. The area benefits from excellent schools (Lexden Springs, Stanway Fiveways Primary, The Stanway School), receiving ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings, making it attractive to families. Proximity to Colchester town centre and train stations (Colchester, Marks Tey) ensures convenient access to amenities and transportation. The property itself boasts a good-sized garden, ideal for families or those who enjoy outdoor space.

However, while the exterior looks well-maintained, the interior requires some updating. The kitchen and bathrooms show their age and could benefit from a refurbishment. The overall interior presentation, although reasonably clean, looks dated and would likely benefit from a refresh to fully optimise its market appeal.

The lack of precise plot size data makes a precise valuation challenging. The house is in a desirable location and provides a family-friendly environment, and while the asking price seems competitive based on similar properties in the area, it’s not exceptionally low. Prospective buyers should take into account the expected cost of modernising the property when making their decision. The property will appeal most to buyers looking for a family home in a good location but prepared to undertake some renovations.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. Disclamer: This is our opition and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research.
