2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Large first-floor maisonette with huge balcony and easy rail links — lease needs prompt attention..
Large balcony 18'1 x 11'6 offering substantial outdoor space
Spacious rooms — overall footprint very large (approx. 1,535 sqft)
Two double bedrooms with good hallway storage cupboards
Recently fitted combi boiler (approx. 6 months)
Walking distance to Pitsea town centre and rail links to London
Leasehold with ~81 years remaining — urgent extension likely needed
Area shows high crime and very high deprivation — impacts resale/insurance
Wealth of communal parking; building exterior dated, may need modernisation
Light-filled and surprisingly spacious, this two-bedroom first-floor maisonette offers generous living with an exceptionally large balcony and communal parking. The open kitchen/diner and separate living room create flexible space for everyday life and entertaining, while two double bedrooms and plentiful hallway storage meet practical needs for a first home.
Practical positives include a recently fitted combi boiler, double glazing, off-street communal parking and fast broadband/mobile signal — useful for commuters and home workers. The property sits within walking distance of Pitsea town centre and rail links to London, making it convenient for travel.
Buyers must note material drawbacks: the lease has around 81 years remaining and will likely require an early extension, which can be costly and should be investigated before offer. The wider area scores high for deprivation and recorded crime levels are above average; purchasers should consider this for long-term resale and insurance. The building exterior looks dated and may need external updating.
Overall, this is a roomy, well-laid-out maisonette that suits a first-time buyer or investor who values space and commuter links but is prepared to act on the lease length and accept the local area challenges.
