Summary - 21 SHIRLEY GARDENS BASILDON SS13 1BA
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached Bungalow
Chain-free two-bed bungalow with garage, parking and low-maintenance garden — ideal for downsizers..
Freehold semi-detached bungalow, single-storey living
A compact two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offering single-storey living in a quiet Basildon cul-de-sac. At about 496 sq ft this freehold property suits buyers seeking low-maintenance accommodation — ideal for downsizers or investors wanting a straightforward let. The lounge/diner opens through French doors onto a small, low-maintenance garden; a fitted kitchen and wet-room style bathroom complete the practical layout.
Practical benefits include a garage, off-street parking and easy access to local buses into nearby town centres. The property has mains gas central heating, double glazing (fitted post-2002) and is connected to standard broadband and strong mobile coverage. The bungalow is sold chain-free and will be offered with vacant possession.
Notable constraints: the overall living space and plot are small (approx. 496 sq ft), so storage and room sizes are limited. The EPC is band D and the local area is recorded as having constrained aspiration indicators; buyers should factor potential running costs and resale profile accordingly. The property was constructed in the early 1990s and presents as a well-kept, straightforward home rather than a high-spec refurbishment project.
For downsizers the single-floor layout, low-maintenance outdoor space and parking/garage are genuine strengths. Investors will find an easy-to-manage asset in a city/major town location with nearby schools and public transport, though rental yield expectations should reflect the property’s compact size and EPC rating.
