This modern three-bedroom semi-detached house, built in 2012, offers low-maintenance family living with contemporary fixtures and a rear extension that enhances the ground-floor living space. The open-plan lounge/diner and extended family area benefit from skylights and bi-fold doors, creating a bright entertaining zone that opens onto a private, landscaped garden backing directly onto a private fishing lake and moat.
Practical features suit everyday family life: an inviting entrance hall with ground-floor WC and soft-close understairs storage, master bedroom with ensuite, fitted wardrobes in bedroom three, and off-street parking for two to three vehicles. The home is well-equipped with two independent Mitsubishi air-conditioning units, a Nest smart thermostat, a smart Mira shower and other smart/air-purifying fittings that add convenience and comfort.
Notable positives are balanced by local and plot realities. The property sits in a very deprived neighbourhood classification with a very high recorded crime level; prospective buyers should review local safety data and consider security measures. The plot and overall room sizes are modest, typical of modern cul-de-sac homes, and the garden/plot is small despite the attractive water outlook. Council Tax Band D applies.
Overall, this is a well-presented, turnkey-style home for a family seeking contemporary, low-maintenance living within walking distance of Basildon town centre and rail links to London. The unique water-facing position, modern finishes and smart controls give clear lifestyle appeal, but buyers should weigh local area indicators and compact plot dimensions when deciding to view.
