Light fills the property via a bay window and Velux roof windows upstairs, giving a bright, airy feel throughout. The accommodation is arranged over one main floor with two additional bedrooms upstairs, suited to flexible use as children's rooms, guest space or a home office. Off-street parking and a decent-sized plot add convenience and outside space in a sought-after SS2 location.

Nearby amenities include good local schools (including a top-rated grammar), bus routes and retail options at Southend retail park. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, supporting homeworking and streaming.
A few practical points to note: the property dates from the 1950s–60s and the external walls are assumed to be solid brick with no built-in insulation, so buyers should consider potential insulation or energy-efficiency improvements. Crime is average for the area. Overall this bungalow suits families or downsizers seeking a move-in ready, modern home with parking and outside space in a convenient Southend location.
