This period end-of-terrace sits directly on Ongar High Street and offers a compact, convenient base for first-time buyers or landlords. The house has two double bedrooms, a good-sized kitchen and a modern family bathroom, with double glazing and mains gas heating providing everyday comfort.
Externally the property benefits from two allocated off-street parking spaces and a low-maintenance rear garden with decking and artificial lawn. The town-centre location places shops, pubs and public transport a short walk away, while countryside and Epping Forest are within easy reach for weekend walks.
Condition notes are mixed: some listing information describes modern fittings and recent decoration, while image notes refer to Victorian character and areas needing modernisation. Buyers should expect compact room sizes throughout and verify the extent of any refurbishment needed. The building is solid-brick (no known cavity insulation) which may affect future insulation works and running costs.
Practical considerations: the plot is very small and internal space is limited at about 558 sq ft, so storage and extension options are constrained. There is an annual service charge of around £75 and the property sits in an area with above-average crime statistics, both of which prospective purchasers should factor into their decision.
