Low-maintenance 2-bed semi with great commuter links and off-street parking..
Private close of just two homes, set back from the road
Tucked away on a private close of just two homes, this modern two-bedroom semi offers low-maintenance, turn-key living ideal for first-time buyers or commuters. Built circa 2015, the house combines contemporary fixtures with energy-efficient performance (higher-than-average EPC C) to keep running costs down.
The ground floor’s 27ft open-plan living area is bright and flexible, with a fitted kitchen and breakfast bar forming a social hub for dining and relaxing. Upstairs the large master bedroom is flooded with light from double windows and benefits from built-in wardrobes; a second single bedroom provides space for guests, a home office or hobbies. A luxury family bathroom features a full-size bath with rain shower and heated towel rail.
Practical points add to the appeal: off-street driveway parking, a deep built-in storage cupboard, loft access for extra storage and quick access to both Southend East and Southend Victoria stations (about half a mile). The property is offered chain-free for a straightforward purchase.
Buyers should note a few trade-offs: the plot is small with a low-maintenance garden rather than expansive outdoor space, and local area data shows higher-than-average deprivation. External walls are described as solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, which may mean future insulation improvements could be considered to further reduce bills. Overall this is a compact, efficient home in a quiet location — a practical, low-fuss choice for a first home or commuter base.
