Chain-free two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offering a compact, single-storey home in a quiet Wickford suburb. The layout includes a large lounge, practical kitchen, two double bedrooms and a shower room arranged across about 607 sq ft — a manageable size for downsizers or buyers seeking a renovation project with clear scope.
The plot includes a large rear garden that is mostly lawn and low-maintenance, plus potential to create off-street parking to the front subject to usual planning consents. The house is solid brick (1950s–1960s build), has double glazing (install date unknown) and a mains-gas boiler with radiators, but it does require internal redecoration and updating throughout.
Location is a strong selling point: very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, with Wickford High Street and the station roughly a six-minute drive away. Several nearby primary and secondary schools have good or outstanding Ofsted ratings, adding appeal for families looking to downsize without leaving the area.
Practical considerations: the property is freehold but small in footprint and will need renovation work and potential insulation upgrades (solid brick walls). Buyers should factor in improvement costs and planning permission for any external changes such as creating a parking bay.
