This mid-terraced two-bedroom home in Kingswood offers an accessible entry into the Basildon market — no onward chain and ready for immediate occupation. The ground floor combines a lounge-diner with sliding doors into a bright conservatory, while the kitchen is recently styled and practical for everyday use. An updated combi boiler and full double glazing reduce short-term maintenance needs.
The property sits a short walk from Basildon town centre and the train station, making it a sensible commuter purchase. A generous rear garden with side access adds outdoor space that’s rare for similarly sized terraces, and resident permit parking is available nearby. Local schools rated Good to Outstanding add appeal for young families.
Internally the house is largely sound but cosmetically dated in places — it represents clear scope for refurbishment to add value and modern comfort. The plot is small and the house is typical of 1930s–1940s mid-terrace proportions, so extensions will be limited by footprint and planning constraints.
Buyers should note the local area records very high crime levels; that will affect security considerations and possibly insurance costs. Overall, this is a pragmatic starter home or buy-to-let opportunity for someone happy to refresh the finishes and benefit from strong transport links and nearby amenities.
