A three-bedroom semi-detached home on a large plot in Buller Road, Basildon, that suits families or investors willing to renovate. The house dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, has double glazing, mains gas central heating and an integral garage with driveway, offering practical everyday living and parking.
The property needs full modernisation throughout, providing scope to add significant value. There is clear potential to extend (subject to planning permission) and remodel the interior to create an open-plan living space or additional bedrooms. The construction is system-built with external insulation — a detail to check with surveyors when assessing structural and thermal performance.
Location is convenient for commuters and family life: Laindon C2C station is about 0.7 miles away and several primary and secondary schools rated Good or Outstanding are nearby. Local shops, a Lidl and other amenities are within easy reach, though the wider area is classed as deprived and recorded crime is above average.
This property will be sold at auction via the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should note the 56-day completion requirement and the non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600 inc. VAT), plus a £300 fee for the buyer information pack. Complete due diligence, mortgage checks and a full survey are strongly recommended before bidding.
