Summary - 101a Bishops Drive, Bel Air Chalet Estate, St. Osyth, CLACTON-ON-SEA CO16 8SZ
2 bed 1 bath Bungalow
Compact, furnished bungalow with large garden — ideal for downsizers or cash buyers.
Chain-free and fully furnished — move-in ready
This compact two-bedroom bungalow on a corner plot in Bel Air Chalet Estate is offered chain-free and fully furnished — ready for immediate occupation. The bright open-plan living area and modern, well-equipped kitchen suit buyers seeking a low-fuss retirement base, holiday home, or short-term let close to the coast. A large private garden and off-street parking add outdoor space and convenience despite the property’s modest footprint (383 sq ft).
Buyers should note a significant legal/finance concern: records supplied indicate only 37 years remaining on a lease despite the listing also stating freehold. The short remaining term is likely to deter mortgage lenders and will materially affect value and marketability. There is also an EPC rating of F and the property uses electric room heaters rather than a central heating system, which may mean higher running costs and potential need for upgrades.
Practical local issues to consider: broadband speeds are slow, mobile signal is average, and the area scores high for crime and relative deprivation. These factors reduce appeal for some buyers but may suit those prioritising an affordable coastal retreat or a buy-to-let purchaser willing to accept refurbishment and market constraints.
Overall, this bungalow is best suited to downsizers or cash buyers who want a ready-to-use, small retirement or holiday property near the sea and who accept the short lease and need for possible energy and heating improvements.
