This semi‑detached chalet‑style home on Villa Road offers immediate family living with clear potential to create a much larger house. The current layout provides flexible space across two floors — a generous ground‑floor bedroom or reception, two first‑floor bedrooms, a modern kitchen‑diner opening to a south‑facing garden, and a recently renovated bathroom. A large block‑paved driveway provides parking for several vehicles, rare for the area.
Significant value lies in the planning permission already passed for a side extension. The approved plans would substantially increase floor space and could deliver a four‑bed, two‑bath family home, making this suitable for growing families or buyers seeking uplift through extension. The plot is decent in size and side access simplifies building work (subject to the approved plans and building regs).
The location is practical: walking distance to Benfleet station and High Road shops, plus access to well‑rated local schools (Kents Hill, The Appleton School). There is no onward chain, so a purchaser can move forward without a linked sale delay.
A few practical points to note: the house dates from the 1950–66 period and external walls are cavity construction with assumed lack of insulation, so buyers should budget for possible insulation or energy improvements. Broadband and mobile signal are average for the area, and crime levels are average. Overall, this is a well‑maintained, newly updated house with clear scope to add space and value.
