Guide price £290,000–£300,000. This freehold three-bedroom terraced house offers a practical layout across two floors, with a generous kitchen/diner and a bright conservatory that opens onto a private rear garden. At about 855 sq ft, the home is compact but well arranged for everyday family life or first-time ownership.
The property is presented well throughout but has some dated fittings, most noticeably the traditional kitchen which would benefit from modernisation to unlock full potential. There is one family bathroom and a downstairs cloakroom, so the layout suits small families or buyers seeking a straightforward rental opportunity.
Location is convenient for shops, buses and the University of Essex, with good mobile and broadband connectivity. That accessibility supports both commuters and investors targeting the local rental market. Practical positives include fitted wardrobes in bedrooms, useful storage cupboards, and a shed in the enclosed rear garden.
Buyers should note material local factors: crime levels are high and the wider area shows signs of deprivation, which may affect long-term resale or lettings. Schools nearby are mixed in performance. Overall, this property represents a sensible starter home or buy-to-let with scope for updating to increase value.
