The list price of £500,000 seems relatively reasonable given the property’s size (1,167.88 sqft) and location. Nearby comparable properties in areas like Mallard Close command higher prices, while others in more modest locations are significantly lower. Considering the property’s need for modernization, the price reflects this, offering potential for significant value appreciation once renovations are complete.

The property shows its age. The kitchen and bathroom appear dated and would require a significant amount of modernization. The interior decor is outdated, and while the structure appears sound, there is evidence of minor cosmetic issues needing attention. Overall, while habitable, it’s not in excellent condition and requires updating.

The property is located in Great Notley & Black Notley, Braintree, Essex. This area benefits from proximity to good schools such as Notley Green Primary School and White Court School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The A120/A131 is also accessible, providing good transport links. While it may not be in the most central location of Braintree, it offers a balance of tranquility and convenient access to amenities and transport, making it a reasonably desirable location.

The property boasts a sizeable garden. Although not specified in square footage, the photos suggest a considerable amount of outdoor space compared to other properties in the area. This is a significant asset adding to the property’s appeal.
