24out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This detached five-bedroom property is well-situated on a private road, approximately 1.3 miles from Chelmsford City centre. The home features a well-maintained exterior and interior spaces, with a modern kitchen and functional living areas that are ready to enjoy. The layout is versatile, with multiple reception rooms that can accommodate family living or serve as home office spaces.

However, with an asking price of £1,150,000 equating to £514/sqf, it stands 24.7% above the local average of £412/sqf, which makes it appear dear for the area. This high price relative to local values limits the overall opportunity for value addition despite the potential for improvement and extension (subject to consents). Bidders should be mindful that the guide price may rise during negotiations, potentially making this property less attractive if the final sale price exceeds expectations.

Key opportunities

  • Potential to improve and extend the property, subject to relevant consents.
  • Well-maintained garden and outdoor areas, including an outdoor swimming pool.
  • Versatile living arrangements with multiple reception rooms for family or home office use.
