This detached two-bedroom bungalow in Prittlewell is offered chain free and sits on a generous plot close to Priory Park. The house is solid-brick, double glazed throughout and benefits from off-street parking for two cars and a west-facing rear garden — practical features that appeal to downsizers or buyers seeking a single-storey home near rail links.
Internally the accommodation is spacious for a bungalow (approximately 1,324 sq ft) but requires updating. Original features such as a front bay window and tiled fireplace remain, while carpets, wallpaper and bathroom fittings are dated. The property has gas central heating via a boiler and radiators, and loft access via a pull-down ladder; assumed lack of cavity insulation to solid walls may mean further energy upgrades are needed.
Location is a key selling point: walking distance to Prittlewell and Victoria stations, close to Priory Park and local amenities, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Practical positives — freehold tenure, no onward chain and affordable council tax — make it straightforward to buy, whether you plan to downsize, renovate and personalise, or invest for rental after improvements.
Buyers should be aware of material drawbacks: the area records higher crime levels and notable deprivation indices, and the bungalow will need cosmetic and likely thermal-improvement works. The solid brick construction and dated interior present clear renovation potential but also additional cost and time commitments.
