This three-bedroom terraced house in Byfletts, Basildon is offered chain free and ready for someone to reimagine. The property needs full refurbishment throughout, so it suits a buyer prepared to modernise kitchens, bathrooms, electrics and finishes to unlock its potential.
On the ground floor a spacious entrance hall leads to a good‑sized lounge, a large dining room with French doors to the garden, and an L‑shaped kitchen with an external door. Upstairs are three proportionate bedrooms and a family bathroom. The layout is straightforward and lends itself to reconfiguration or creating a more open-plan ground floor.
Outside there is a pleasant rear garden with patio and lawn plus an unusually large frontage for this type of terrace. That frontage offers potential to create off-street parking subject to planning consent, which could add practical value. The home is freehold and has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Be realistic about likely costs and local context: the house requires comprehensive updating and some structural or systems checks should be expected. The area records higher crime rates and significant deprivation indices, so buyers should factor neighbourhood considerations into their decision. Council Tax is affordable (Band C), and the property is best suited to a family or investor seeking a value-add renovation project.
