Summary - 3 ELM ROAD WICKFORD SS11 7AF
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful starter home near shops, station and schools with garden potential.
Chain free two-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house
This chain-free two-bedroom semi-detached house on Elm Road offers an accessible starter home or investment in Wickford. The property retains period character, including a Victorian fireplace and wooden floors in the living room, and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing. Its compact footprint (approx. 722 sqft) and private rear garden suit buyers seeking manageable maintenance and outdoor space within walking distance of the high street and station.
Buyers should note the house is a timber-frame, roughcast construction from the early 20th century and currently has no known cavity insulation in the walls. The Energy Performance Certificate is band E, so upgrading insulation and possibly windows or heating controls would improve comfort and running costs. The plot is small and the home is average-sized, limiting extension potential without planning checks.
The location is convenient for local shops, public transport and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools, making it attractive to first-time buyers and landlords targeting steady tenant demand. The property is sold freehold and vacant-chain free, simplifying the purchase. Be aware the area records above-average crime levels, which some buyers may want to investigate further.
Overall, this is a characterful, budget-conscious purchase with clear improvement opportunities. Buyers after a low-maintenance ready-to-move-in home may find it adequate as-is, while those willing to invest in insulation and modernising works can increase comfort and long-term value.
