Set within a quiet cul-de-sac and offered chain free, this two-bedroom mid-terraced townhouse suits first-time buyers seeking immediate move-in or investors looking for a low-management let. The property extends to about 991 sq ft across three storeys, with a bright lounge, a contemporary kitchen opening to a private rear garden, and a practical family bathroom. A private driveway and single garage add valuable off-street parking and storage.
The house is structurally conventional (cavity walls, mains gas boiler and radiators) and benefits from double glazing installed before 2002. The interior is generally well presented, with a modern kitchen and comfortable room sizes, while the plot is a decent size for the area and backs onto tree-lined streets. Local schools rated Good–Outstanding and the short 0.7 mile walk to Grays C2C station make this convenient for commuters and families.
Buyers should note a few material points: external areas show wear and a dated appearance that may need refreshing, and some windows are older double glazing which could be upgraded for efficiency. Crime levels in the wider area run above average, which may influence insurance and purchaser considerations. Built in the late 20th century, the property offers scope to personalise rather than a full structural overhaul.
Overall this freehold townhouse offers a practical, well-located home with immediate availability, parking and garden space — attractive to first-time buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in property with straightforward improvement potential, or investors seeking a commuter-friendly rental in a major conurbation.
