This three-bedroom detached house on Tickfield Avenue is arranged over two storeys and offers practical family living in Southend-on-Sea. The ground floor features a bay-fronted, dual-aspect kitchen to the front and an open-plan lounge/diner to the rear that opens onto a generous south-facing garden — a strong asset for light, play space and summer entertaining. A ground-floor WC and storage add everyday convenience.
Upstairs the master bedroom includes built-in storage and an ensuite shower room, with two further good-sized bedrooms and a family three-piece bathroom completing the sleeping accommodation. The property benefits from double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a detached garage with carport and paved off-street parking — useful for families with more than one vehicle.
Location is practical for family life: multiple primary and secondary schools are nearby, including highly regarded grammar options, with Prittlewell station, bus links and the A127 within easy reach for commuters. Local amenities, parks and the seafront are all accessible from this suburban setting.
Notable drawbacks are factual and should be considered: the immediate area is classified as more deprived and local crime rates are above average, which may affect some buyers’ priorities. The plot is described as small despite a south-facing rear garden, and the house reads as average in overall size (about 1,069 sq ft). Council tax is moderate. Buyers seeking a larger plot or quieter neighbourhood may want to compare nearby options, though the home’s layout and parking provision make it a practical family choice with potential for modest value uplift through targeted improvements.
