A chain-free three-bedroom mid-terrace with clear renovation potential, offered on a very large plot close to local schools and transport. The property is 0.8 miles from Pitsea C2C station, providing straightforward commuter access to London, and benefits from mains gas heating, double glazing and low council tax band A.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: a spacious living room and dining area on the ground floor with three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The house was constructed in the 1950s–1960s and is system-built with assumed lack of wall insulation, so upgrading thermal performance and modernising services would add value and comfort.
Outside there is a low-maintenance rear garden with rear access, a useful shed and off-street parking for one vehicle. The large plot gives scope to extend or reconfigure (subject to consents), making it suitable for buyers planning a budget-led refurbishment to create a contemporary family home.
Buyers should note the area’s social and safety challenges: local crime statistics are very high and the neighbourhood is described as very deprived. The property therefore suits purchasers prepared to invest in improvements and engage with local considerations rather than those seeking a move-in-ready home.
