This newly renovated four-bedroom semi-detached home on Garland Road offers flexible family living across three floors, including a new loft conversion creating a third double bedroom. The current owner has fitted a new heating system, replaced kitchen and bathrooms, redecorated throughout and added modern flooring, so the interior is largely move-in ready. Practical benefits include off-street driveway parking, an easy-care courtyard garden, and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity — handy for commuters using nearby Dovercourt station or Harwich International Port.
Despite extensive internal upgrades, the exterior shows signs of age and will need attention: pebble-dash elevations, assumed uninsulated solid brick walls, and image-noted damp/neglect that should be checked. The property is compact (approx. 640 sq ft) and sits on a small plot, so space-conscious families will want to view to assess room layouts. EPC D and council tax described as very cheap — a cost advantage for buyers.
Located in a mixed, higher-crime and relatively deprived area, the house suits buyers prioritising commuter links and value over tranquillity. It also presents straightforward investment or owner-occupier potential: a recently upgraded core (heating, kitchen, bathrooms) reduces immediate major expense, but external repairs, insulation improvements and any damp remediation are likely next steps.
For families seeking good local schools, there are several well-rated primaries and a high school nearby. Investors may find rental demand from nearby port and rail workers. Viewings recommended to confirm condition details and scope for further energy-efficiency improvements.
