Light-filled two-bedroom home with large garden, garage and generous parking close to station.
Fully refurbished two-bedroom chalet with modern fixtures and fittings
This immaculately refurbished two-bedroom chalet on a quiet cul-de-sac offers generous living space and low-maintenance finishes, suited to buyers looking to downsize without compromise. A large, modern kitchen/diner with underfloor heating and French doors opens to a paved patio and lawn, while the lounge features a front bay window with fitted shutters. The loft is fully boarded, and the property includes a long garage and wide driveway providing extensive off-street parking.
The current owners completed a full renovation: new kitchen with solid oak worktops, integrated appliances, contemporary bathroom with rainfall shower, double glazing, and smooth plastered ceilings with inset spotlights throughout. Practical extras include external power, outdoor lighting, a water tap, and excellent mobile signal with average broadband — useful if working from home or keeping connected.
Location is a clear strength. Set at the road end near South Benfleet playing fields, the house is a short walk to Benfleet station (c2c services to London) and local shops. Good primary and secondary schools are nearby, and Council Tax band C is relatively affordable for the area.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property sits in an area described as ageing urban communities with above-average local crime statistics. The plot is modest in size and the building’s cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation. Although newly renovated, the house has a single bathroom and was constructed in the 1950s–60s, so longer-term maintenance of original elements may be needed. Flood risk is low.
