This freehold three-bedroom semi-detached chalet in Upminster sits on a large plot with off-street parking and a detached garage. The property is offered chain free and benefits from a recently replaced roof, mains gas central heating and fast broadband — practical advantages for a family moving quickly.
Located within easy reach of Hall Mead School (Outstanding) and several well-rated primaries, the house suits families seeking local schooling and community amenities. Bus routes to Upminster C2C station and nearby shops on Front Lane and Avon Road make daily commutes and errands straightforward.
Internally the layout is generous with a large living room and scope to extend subject to planning consent. However, the house needs modernisation: dated 1970s-style finishes, older double glazing (pre-2002) and solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation. There is a single bathroom and some rooms will benefit from updating to meet contemporary family needs.
For buyers aiming to add value, the plot and planning potential offer clear upside. Buyers should factor in renovation costs for windows, insulation and interior modernisation; council tax is band E, above average for the area.
