Newly renovated four-bedroom home near Lee Chapel Primary and Basildon station.
Four bedrooms including primary with ensuite
Beautifully presented and newly renovated, this four-bedroom detached home on Palmer Way suits growing families seeking space and good school access. The house offers an open-plan kitchen/dining area with bi-folding doors to a decent private garden, a primary bedroom with ensuite, and practical ground-floor cloakroom and storage. Off-street parking plus a detached garage add convenience for families with cars. The property is freehold, about 1,228 sq ft, and comes with four years remaining on an NHBC warranty for peace of mind.
Location is a key strength: under one mile from Basildon train station for straightforward commuting, and within the Lee Chapel Primary and Woodlands School catchments. The surrounding neighbourhood provides shops, green spaces, playgrounds and leisure facilities, supporting an active family lifestyle. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the home is heated via mains gas boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note material local considerations: the area records very high crime levels, which may affect insurance and security requirements. One nearby secondary school (Ortu Hassenbrook Academy) is rated as requiring improvement. The house is average-sized on a decent plot and, while newly renovated, prospective buyers should confirm the remaining NHBC coverage and inspect finishes in person.
Overall this is a comfortable, move-in-ready family home with modern living spaces, sensible parking and garage provision, strong transport links and good primary schooling nearby. It will suit buyers prioritising location, school catchment and a recently updated interior, while those concerned about local crime statistics should factor additional security and insurance costs into their decision.
