This compact three-bedroom mid-terrace in Westcliff-on-Sea offers practical living and clear upside for first-time buyers or investors. At about 710 sq ft, the property sits on a small plot with a fully paved rear garden that’s low-maintenance and easy to adapt.
Built around 1900–1929, the house retains period character such as bay windows and a two-storey porch, but the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and some updating is needed. The layout includes a generous lounge/diner, kitchen with garden access, and a modern three-piece bathroom. Double glazing is present though the installation date is unknown; heating is via mains-gas boiler and radiators.
The location is a key asset: under a mile to Prittlewell train station with fast routes into London, good bus links on London Road, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby — including an outstanding boys’ school. Local shops, cafés and leisure amenities are within easy reach.
This house will suit a buyer wanting a manageable project to personalise or an investor targeting rental demand in a family-focused terrace neighbourhood. Be aware of its small overall size, likely need for thermal improvements, and scope for renovation to unlock further value.
