The list price of £400,000 seems relatively reasonable for a five-bedroom detached house in Colchester, considering the nearby comparable properties. Though precise square footage is unavailable, the provided price of similar properties in the area (around £300,000-£400,000) and the property’s size and amenities suggest it’s not overvalued. However, the absence of square footage data prevents a more precise analysis of the price-per-square-foot value. The lack of detailed specifics, along with Greenstead’s market position, holds the score back from a higher value.

Based on the photographs, the property appears to be in generally good condition, though not luxurious. The interior seems well-maintained, although some rooms show signs of needing minor updating or freshening. The kitchen and bathrooms seem reasonably modern, and there is no apparent evidence of significant structural issues. The overall condition is above average but not exceptional.

The property is located in Greenstead, Colchester, which benefits from proximity to several good schools (Colchester Academy, Hazelmere Infant and Junior Schools, Roach Vale Primary School) all rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, making it attractive to families. The proximity to transport links, although not specified in terms of walking distance, suggests reasonable accessibility to the city center and beyond, adding to the location score. However, Greenstead’s overall reputation might be a factor in reducing the score from a higher rating.

The property has a garden of a reasonable size, as shown in the photographs. The photographs reveal a relatively manageable garden space, which is a positive attribute, particularly for families. However, it isn’t exceptionally large, which prevents a higher score.
