The listed price of £280,000 aligns reasonably well with other similar properties on Essex Close and in the immediate vicinity of Churchdown. However, the lack of sqft information for comparable properties makes a precise per-sqft comparison difficult. Considering the condition requiring some updating, the price appears fair but not exceptionally good value.

The property appears generally well-maintained from the photos, though some updating is likely needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. It doesn’t show signs of significant damage or neglect, but it’s not in pristine, modern condition. There are signs of wear and tear, especially in the bathrooms, requiring some level of refurbishment.

Churchdown is a desirable residential area in Gloucestershire, known for its family-friendly atmosphere and good local amenities. The proximity to good schools (as listed) and relatively easy access to Gloucester and Cheltenham via rail adds to its appeal. However, it’s not a central, high-amenity location and might lack the buzz of a larger town or city.

The property has a garden, which is a positive. However, the size of the garden appears to be relatively modest based on the images provided, not overly large. It’s functional, but doesn’t offer extensive outdoor space.
