This chain-free semi-detached house on Arnold Drive has been extensively renovated and offers practical family accommodation across approximately 1,303 sq ft. The ground floor includes a bright lounge with patio doors to the rear garden, a modern kitchen/diner, cloakroom and a versatile converted garage currently used as a study or fourth room. New double-glazed windows (10-year guarantee) and updated bathroom fittings reduce immediate maintenance needs.
Externally there is driveway parking and an enclosed rear garden with lawn and patio — a manageable outdoor space for children or pets. The property sits close to local shops, transport links and the University of Essex, and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it suitable for home working and student-tenant demand.
Notable considerations: the home is in a high-crime, deprived area and occupies a relatively small plot with limited front parking. Internal space is functional rather than grand — three bedrooms and a single family bathroom — so growing families may find space tight. Buyers should verify particulars and services, and confirm any details about the garage conversion if a change of use or building control sign-off is important to them.
Overall this refurbished, Freehold property is a straightforward option for families seeking immediate move-in readiness or investors targeting rental demand near transport and university amenities. The no-onward-chain position shortens buying times, but prospective purchasers should balance the strong location conveniences against neighbourhood-level crime and plot size limitations.
