This three-bedroom Edwardian-style terraced house offers generous living space (approximately 1,680 sq ft) and a south-facing rear garden — a practical canvas for a first-time buyer wanting room to grow. Its layout includes a bright dining room, spacious lounge with garden access, separate W/C, and a standard-height two-storey plan typical of early 20th-century builds. The property is freehold and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout (installation dates unknown).
Location is convenient for everyday life: Southend East train station, Southchurch Hall Gardens and the seafront are within walking distance, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby. The plot is described as decent for a terraced house, and the paved front garden offers low-maintenance kerb appeal.
The house is presented as a lived-in, well-loved home that requires updating. Expect cosmetic and system modernisation; the original solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, and interior finishes are dated. These factors present renovation potential and scope to add value, but they will require budget and project planning.
Buyers should note wider area challenges: the neighbourhood records higher crime levels and is classified as very deprived. These social and environmental factors, together with maintenance needs, are important considerations for resale or rental uses. The property is offered with no onward chain, which can speed completion for a buyer prepared to refurbish.
