This chain-free two-bedroom maisonette offers straightforward access to Wickford station and the High Street, making it a practical choice for first-time buyers and commuters. The main reception room is generous and bright with large front windows; the layout spans two floors and provides clear scope to modernise and personalise. A garage, shed and communal rear gardens add useful storage and outdoor space.
The property is offered leasehold with approximately 86 years remaining — an important consideration for mortgage lenders and future resale. Annual costs include a below-average service charge (£936) and a small ground rent (£10); permit parking is available at a low annual fee (£30.50). Internally the maisonette is liveable but will benefit from cosmetic updating and some external maintenance is evident on the 1960s building.
Floor sizes are sensible for a first home: large lounge (approx 15' x 14'10"), kitchen (11'10" x 9'), two bedrooms and a bathroom. The location’s practical strengths — fast rail links to London, shops and local schools — support long-term convenience and rental potential if you choose to let later.
Buyers should note the medium-term work likely needed on external communal areas and the roof typical of this era; the lease length may require review and potential extension budgeting. Taken together, this is a cost-effective entry-level home with immediate commuter appeal and clear potential to add value through modest refurbishment.
