It should be an Array and not a string.
You can use json_encode() php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php in order to convert it into an array so you can directly print data based on the id's position.

Are you using the default template or an override?

Worked, many thanks!

Here's the code for reference:

<td>
			<?php 
			//json_decode the extra_fields string 
			$json = json_decode($this->item->extra_fields); 
			
			// print Length if exists
			if($json[0]!=''): print $json[0]->value; 
	
			endif;?>	 
		</td>
        
		<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
			<?php 
			
			// print Weight if exists
			if($json[3]!=''): print $json[3]->value; 
	
			endif; ?>	
		</td>
