Summary - St Lukes Road, Southend SS2 4AD
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free two-bed with large east-facing garden and driveway — ideal starter home.
Chain-free freehold two-bedroom semi-detached house
This two-bedroom semi-detached house on St Lukes Road is a straightforward, chain-free purchase for first-time buyers or investors seeking easy entry to Southend-on-Sea. The property offers a private driveway, off-street parking and a generous east-facing 60ft landscaped rear garden — a rare outdoor asset for the area. The 747 sq ft layout includes two reception rooms and practical boiler-and-radiator heating on mains gas.
The house dates from the 1930–1949 period and retains some period proportions, but much of the interior shows dated décor and will benefit from updating. Double glazing is in place but was installed before 2002; buyers should expect some modernisation and potential improvement to thermal performance and finishes. The small plot and suburban setting limit scope for large extensions without planning checks.
Local services are convenient: fast broadband, nearby shops, leisure facilities and regular buses. Several local primary and secondary schools have Good Ofsted ratings, supporting family life. The wider area is classified as deprived with a hard-pressed, mixed community; crime levels and mobile signal are average, so buyers should weigh location context alongside the value proposition.
Overall, this freehold, chain-free home suits someone wanting a reasonably priced, roomy starter home with a large garden and parking, or an investor seeking a lettable property with scope for enhancement. Be prepared for cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements to unlock the property’s full potential.
