This three-bedroom end-of-terrace sits in the heart of Margaretting and offers a clear renovation opportunity for a family or buyer seeking value. The house is freehold, off-street parking, a west-facing rear garden and a private driveway with scope to extend (subject to planning). Its compact 651 sq ft footprint suits a small family, downsizer or first-time buyer willing to refurbish.
The accommodation is traditional and straightforward: lounge, kitchen/dining room, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor, with three bedrooms and a double-width shower room upstairs. The property uses oil-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators and has double glazing (install date unknown). Services have not been tested and the property requires full modernisation throughout, offering scope to reconfigure or extend (STPC).
Practical positives include fast broadband, no flood risk and proximity to Margaretting Primary (walking distance), local pubs and Ingatestone’s shops and train links to London. Material issues to budget for are a full renovation programme — cosmetic and likely mechanical — plus assumed cavity wall construction with no insulation and some external weathering/roof maintenance indicated by images. There is no onward chain, which could speed a purchase for an investor or owner-occupier prepared to refurbish.
