Characterful four-bed with HMO potential and good commuter links, sold freehold..
- Currently used as an HMO — clear investor rental potential
- End-terrace Victorian with bay window and high ceilings
- Off-street parking and sizeable rear garden

- Roof repair and exterior maintenance required; possible damp
- Solid brick walls presumed uninsulated — energy inefficiency risk
- Local area shows higher crime and relative deprivation
A period end-terrace with clear investor upside and flexible use. Currently run as an HMO, the property offers immediate rental potential or conversion back to a family home; it comes with off-street parking, a sizeable rear garden and no onward chain for a quicker sale.
Located in Great Baddow with fast rail links to London and good local schools, this property suits landlords targeting strong commuter demand or buyers willing to refurbish and add value. The house is a Victorian build with attractive bay windows and high ceilings that appeal to tenants and buyers seeking character.
Practical considerations: the property is solid brick with assumed no wall insulation, double glazing installed before 2002 and signs of exterior maintenance needs including roof repair and potential damp. There is one bathroom for four bedrooms, so a refurbishment to modern standards would improve comfort and rental income. Crime levels are higher locally and the area shows relative deprivation—factor this into pricing and tenant selection.
Freehold tenure, mains gas boiler and radiators, decent plot size and affordable council tax are positives. Suitable for an investor prepared to carry out refurbishment works or a buyer who values period character and commuter convenience and is willing to manage improvement costs.
