• Modern fitted kitchen and larger-than-average shower-room

This attractive Victorian semi blends period character with contemporary fittings in a compact, easy-to-manage layout. The bay-fronted lounge and separate dining room make entertaining straightforward, while two double bedrooms and a modern shower-room provide comfortable everyday living. A standout practical asset is the substantial outbuilding at the rear, well suited for a home office, studio or games room.
Position is a genuine convenience: Stanford-le-Hope station is around 0.4 miles away with direct services to London Fenchurch Street, and the A13/M25 are quickly reached for wider travel. The rear garden is low-maintenance with patio and artificial lawn, so outdoor upkeep is minimal for a first home.
Be clear about the trade-offs. The overall living area and plot are modest, and the house is typical of early 20th-century solid brick construction with assumed lack of wall insulation — energy improvements may be worthwhile. Double glazing is installed but dated (pre-2002). Local crime levels are higher than average for the area; buyers should satisfy themselves on safety, parking and insurance implications before committing.
This property suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking a characterful starter home with commuter links and flexible extra space in the outbuilding. Financially sensible council tax and easy-maintenance outside areas reduce running costs, while straightforward improvement potential allows you to add value over time.
