Chain-free with garden and large kitchen-diner, ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain-free three-bedroom maisonette over two floors
This chain-free, two-level maisonette offers a clear entry point onto the property ladder in SS14. Spread over two floors, it provides three large bedrooms, a roomy kitchen/diner and a private rear garden — useful for families or buyers wanting outside space without communal upkeep.
The property is presented well for its age but has important limitations: it is leasehold, currently has no central heating system (electric heaters assumed), and the building dates from the 1950s–1960s with timber-frame walls and partial insulation. EPC rating D indicates average energy performance; further insulation and heating upgrades would improve comfort and running costs.
Practical benefits include off-street parking, a downstairs WC, and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. Local schools include several good and outstanding-rated primaries and secondaries nearby, and local shops and Basildon town centre are within convenient reach. Buyers should note the area records very high crime levels and high local deprivation, which may affect insurance, perceived resale value and personal security choices.
Overall this maisonette suits a first-time buyer or investor willing to carry modest improvements. It represents a modestly priced, chain-free opportunity with scope to improve energy efficiency and modernise heating to increase comfort and future value.
