Large open-plan lounge/diner with patio doors
Low-maintenance rear garden, small private plot
Communal/off-street parking to the front

Area: very deprived with above-average local crime
Step into a straightforward, affordable two-bedroom mid-terrace positioned within easy reach of Pitsea train station. The ground floor offers a large open-plan lounge and dining area with patio doors leading to a low-maintenance rear garden — a practical layout for everyday life and first-time buyers needing usable space without high upkeep.
Upstairs provides two double bedrooms and a large family bathroom. The property is freehold and has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, useful for remote work or streaming. Off-street communal parking and a cheap council tax band add to running-cost appeal.
Be clear on the trade-offs: the house sits in a very deprived area with above-average local crime rates, which may affect resale and insurance. The terrace was built in the late 1970s–early 1980s; glazing dates from before 2002 and the flat roof and garden edges will benefit from landscaping and routine maintenance. These are practical improvements that can increase comfort and value over time.
For a first-time buyer seeking a manageable, low-running-cost starter home with commuting convenience, this property represents an entry-level opportunity. Investors looking for rental potential will appreciate the location near transport links, though they should factor in area challenges and minor upkeep into yield calculations.
