The asking price of £170,000 for a one-bedroom maisonette in Colchester needs further context. Comparatively, other listings on Silcock Close show prices at or around this level. However, the absence of square footage data for these comparative properties and the lack of information on price per square foot in the area makes definitive judgment on value challenging. The price appears reasonable within the context of similar properties but cannot be definitively rated as exceptionally good value without more detailed local market data.

Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in reasonable condition. The interior seems well-maintained, and while not newly renovated, shows no major signs of disrepair. However, certain elements, like the garden’s appearance (partially cluttered), and the lack of overall high-end finishes, suggest a score below ‘excellent’.

The property benefits from a convenient location in Colchester’s St Anne’s and St John’s area. Proximity to good primary schools (Friars Grove, Willow Brook, St John’s), with several rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, is a significant plus. The nearby transport links, including train stations, are also advantageous. However, the lack of detailed information on local amenities and the general character of Silcock Close necessitates a score that acknowledges both positives and potential unknowns.

The property includes a small, enclosed rear garden. While this provides some outdoor space, it is not extensive. The size is modest compared to what one might find in other properties. Therefore the score reflects the garden’s presence but acknowledges its relatively small size.
