Summary - 140 METHERSGATE BASILDON SS14 2LX
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Large south-facing garden and close to Basildon station for commuters.
Freehold two-bedroom terraced house, traditional layout
This two-bedroom terraced house on Methersgate offers a solid starter home or rental opportunity close to Basildon town centre. The property sits on a decent plot with an impressive 80-foot south-facing rear garden, delivering generous outdoor space for family life or future extension (subject to planning).
Inside, a spacious lounge, separate dining room and two double bedrooms provide a comfortable, traditional layout. The home has mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and useful storage throughout, giving a practical base that will reward modest updating.
The house requires modernization to bring fixtures, fittings and the exterior up to contemporary standards — cosmetic and systems upgrades are likely. The area is classified as hampered and wider neighbourhood indicators show deprivation and above-average crime levels; buyers should factor this into affordability and resale expectations.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, no flood risk, and a short 0.8-mile walk to Basildon C2C station for commuters. Local schools are rated Good, and nearby amenities include buses, playgrounds and leisure facilities. This property suits first-time buyers prepared to refurbish or investors seeking a rentable asset in a well-connected location.
