This chain-free Victorian semi offers practical family living on a quiet Benfleet street. The house has two double bedrooms, a cosy lounge with a feature fireplace, a separate dining room for family meals, and a modern shaker-style kitchen that opens onto a long, secluded rear garden — ideal for children, pets and summer entertaining.
The layout suits buyers seeking an established home with period character but ready to move into. The bathroom and kitchen are described as modern, and there is off-street parking plus a garage, easing daily life and storage. The property is a short drive to both Benfleet and Rayleigh stations and close to local shops, cafés and good primary and secondary schools.
Buyers should note the home’s age and construction: solid brick walls from the early 1900s with assumed no cavity insulation may mean higher heating costs or future insulation work. Crime in the area is above average, so check local safety measures. Overall size is average (approx. 791 sq ft) — manageable for a small family but limited for those needing extensive space.
With freehold tenure and an affordable council tax band C, the house offers straightforward ownership and good access to transport links. For families wanting character, outside space and quick commuting options, this property represents a practical, move-inable choice with clear scope for energy improvements if desired.
