Tucked back from Ongar High Street, this newly renovated two-bedroom semi delivers contemporary living in a compact, low-maintenance footprint. The open living area flows to a private outdoor space, while two allocated off-street parking spaces add day-to-day convenience. As a freehold property with modern finishes throughout, it suits buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in home without major works.
Accommodation is practical: a bright living room, two well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and a downstairs WC spread across an average-sized footprint (about 650 sq ft). The layout is efficient for downsizers or couples who want town-centre convenience — cafés, shops and transport are all moments away — but the plot and garden are small, so outdoor space is modest.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks alongside the positives. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, which may affect working-from-home needs despite excellent mobile signal. The neighbourhood records above-average crime levels, so some buyers may wish to consider security improvements. Council tax is moderate.
Overall, this freehold semi combines contemporary styling, allocated parking and a private setting close to local amenities. It’s a straightforward, low-upkeep option for someone looking to downsize into town living, or for buyers prioritising location and a move-in-ready interior.
