This two-bedroom semi-detached cottage on Maldon Road offers a comfortable, chain-free home in a well-served Great Baddow location. The house sits on a small plot with a wraparound courtyard and practical room sizes, making it suitable for a young family or first-time buyers seeking space close to shops and schools.
Internally the layout is traditional with a 12'4" living room, 13'8" dining room and a medium-sized kitchen with natural light. The property retains period solidity—solid brick construction and double glazing—while many finishes are dated, so there is clear scope to modernise and add value (insulation likely needed in walls).
Location is a strong selling point: under 0.1 mile to the Vineyards local parade and very good local primary schools nearby. Easy access to the A12/A130 and Park & Ride provides straightforward commuting routes, while broadband and mobile signal are both strong.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks honestly: the exterior needs attention, the kitchen and some fixtures are dated, and the small plot limits garden expansion. The house was built 1950–66; assumed solid brick walls have no built-in insulation, so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements if required.
