Summary - 26, FIRST AVENUE, CANVEY ISLAND SS8 9LP
2 bed 2 bath Terraced
Spacious 2-bed fixer with strong rental potential in Canvey Island.
Freehold mid-terrace, approx. 920 sq ft
A sizable two-bedroom terraced home offering clear rental or refurbishment potential in Canvey Island. The property has generous living space — a huge lounge, good-sized kitchen and two double bedrooms — across approximately 920 sq ft, and is offered freehold.
The house requires complete renovation throughout; cosmetic and likely structural works will be needed given the concrete construction and older system-built walls. The ground floor wet room and separate first-floor bathroom/WC provide flexible layout options but will need updating. Price reflects condition and creates scope for value uplift after investment.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing, very low flood risk, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The plot is small with a neglected front garden. Nearby schools and local amenities are within walking distance, but buyers should note the neighbourhood has high crime levels and high area deprivation, which may affect resale or rental yields.
This is most suited to experienced investors or buyers prepared to carry out substantial works. If refurbished, comparable lets in the area suggest strong rental demand, making this a potential income-generation project, but budget clearly for renovation and consider specialist advice on concrete construction and insulation improvements.
