The list price of £199,995 for a one-bedroom apartment in Ingatestone is relatively reasonable in the current market considering the location and lack of available comparable data on square footage. However, the absence of specific square footage data and the general lack of detailed information on the specific unit, in comparison to nearby properties, makes a definitive assessment of value difficult. The price is slightly higher than the average on Mellor Close, although this needs to be adjusted for condition and overall quality.

The property appears to be in reasonable condition based on the provided photos. The interior is clean and well-maintained, although the kitchen and bathroom fixtures seem somewhat dated. No major renovations are immediately apparent, suggesting a move-in ready state, though some modernisation could enhance the property’s appeal.

Ingatestone benefits from a mainline railway station providing convenient access to London. The property’s proximity to well-regarded local schools (Ingatestone And Fryerning Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior School and Ingatestone Infant School, both within 0.3km) adds significant value. The village itself offers amenities, though the specific proximity to shops isn’t explicitly stated. This makes it an attractive location, although possibly less convenient than a more central town location.

While the property includes a garden, its size appears relatively modest compared to other properties in the area, especially considering the price. The presence of a shed is a positive but the overall land area doesn’t contribute significantly to the property’s value.
