Scope to modernise and add substantial value in a top school catchment.
Chain free three-bedroom semi-detached family home
Set on a desirable Billericay road and offered chain free, this extended three-bedroom semi delivers space, parking and excellent school catchments for growing families. The ground floor flows from a generous lounge/diner into a conservatory overlooking a west-facing, low-maintenance garden, with a separate study and downstairs cloakroom adding practical family conveniences. An integral garage and driveway for three cars are rare finds in this area.
The house needs full modernisation: the current warm-air heating must be replaced and many fittings will require updating. Cavity walls appear to have been built without insulation and the double glazing is dated (installed before 2002), so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements. The bathroom has been refitted more recently, and built-in wardrobes provide good bedroom storage.
For buyers happy to renovate, the property offers clear potential to add value and tailor the layout to modern family life. The plot is a decent size for the area and the property’s substantial footprint (about 1,404 sq ft) makes extension or reconfiguration possible subject to planning. With outstanding primary schools nearby and easy access to Billericay High Street and transport links, the location is a strong selling point.
Practical considerations: council tax is above average for the area, and the heating upgrade and insulation work will be material costs. Viewings will suit buyers prioritising location and scope to modernise rather than those seeking a fully turnkey home.
