This three-bedroom detached house on Runwell Road is a practical project for a family seeking to personalise a home in a convenient Wickford location. The property offers two reception rooms, a ground-floor wet room and an in-and-out driveway providing substantial off-street parking — a rare convenience for the area.
The house requires comprehensive modernisation: fixtures and finishes are dated, and the property is described as needing renovation throughout. EPC rating E is noted, and the solid brick construction is assumed to lack insulation, so buyers should allow budget for energy improvements, rewiring if needed, and bathroom/kitchen upgrades to bring comfort and efficiency up to modern standards.
Positioned close to Wickford High Street and the railway station, the location supports easy commuting, local shopping and access to several well-regarded schools. The plot is average-to-slightly-above-average for the street with a decent forecourt and mature boundary planting; there may be scope for extension or reconfiguration subject to planning consent.
This is a clear opportunity for buyers who want to add value through refurbishment. Be realistic about costs and timescales: the property is a practical renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home, and the neighbourhood records above-average crime, so consider appropriate security and renovation budgets.
