The open-plan ground floor lounge and dining area opens to a low-maintenance rear garden and a powered outbuilding, useful as a home office or workshop. A garage and side access add convenient parking and storage in a compact urban plot.
Accommodation includes two double bedrooms on the first floor and two further doubles on the second, the principal bedroom benefiting from built-in wardrobes and an en suite. There is a family bathroom and a ground-floor WC, giving toilet facilities on each floor — a useful feature for households or sharers. The kitchen has a breakfast bar and useful storage for everyday use.
Location is a strong practical selling point: Hythe train station is under half a mile away with direct services to London, and the University of Essex is a short drive, making the house attractive to commuters and student professionals. Broadband is reported fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting home-working and tenant demand.
Notable drawbacks are the small plot and higher local deprivation indicators; the area is described as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with average crime levels. Buyers should consider this when assessing family suitability or long-term capital-growth expectations. Overall, the property presents good rental potential or a comfortable family home for those prioritising transport links and low-maintenance outdoor space.
