Chain-free three-bed with large garden, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached home
Guide Price £350,000. This chain-free, three-bedroom semi-detached home in Benfleet offers generous living space and a large garden, making it an appealing purchase for first-time buyers or investors prepared to add value.
Ground-floor accommodation includes a bright open-plan living/dining room, a fitted kitchen with separate utility and practical downstairs WC. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom; the master benefits from a shower enclosure. The layout works well for family life or rental use and the house totals approximately 1,026 sq ft on a decent plot with driveway parking.
The property needs internal updating and some renovation — cosmetic modernisation is required throughout and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation. Services and appliances have not been tested, so buyers should allow for potential heating, electrical or plumbing works. These are realistic considerations that also present an opportunity to modernise and increase value.
Location is a genuine strength: comfortable neighbourhood close to good local schools, shops and public transport with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The area is classified as more deprived overall and crime is average; buyers should weigh local benefits like excellent school options and transport links against wider area-level factors.
Overall, this freehold house is well placed for those who want space, a large garden and the chance to personalise a family home or create a rental asset. Early inspection is recommended to assess scope and costs of the necessary updating.
