The listing price of £220,000 seems slightly high considering the property’s condition and the lack of information on the exact plot size and square footage of the property. While comparable properties in the area are not consistently priced per square foot, nearby listings suggest that a renovation project of this scale would need to be priced competitvely to secure a sale. The need for significant refurbishment suggests that the asking price may be a little high, but not excessively so given other similar properties in the same area. Therefore, the price is considered reasonable, but not exceptionally good value.

The provided photographs reveal a property in need of significant modernisation and renovation. The interior finishes including wall coverings, flooring, and kitchen/bathroom fixtures appear dated and worn. While structurally sound, the overall cosmetic condition is poor, requiring substantial investment to bring it to a desirable standard.

The property is situated in Old Heath and the Hythe, Colchester. This area benefits from proximity to local amenities such as Old Heath Community Primary School (0.56km), which is rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The location is also reasonably close to several train stations providing links to Colchester Town and beyond. While not in the immediate city centre, it offers a balance of residential calm and convenient access to key services and transport, making the location a relatively good one.

The property includes a garden, however, the images show that the garden is overgrown and in need of significant landscaping work. The size is not specified and appears relatively small compared to other properties. While the presence of a garden is positive, its current condition lowers the score.
