Compact ground-floor home with garden and parking, sold at auction.
Two-bedroom single-storey bungalow with front and rear gardens
This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers straightforward, single-storey living on a decent plot in Basildon. The layout suits downsizers seeking ground-floor accommodation: lounge/diner, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom, plus front and rear gardens and off-street parking. Practical details include mains gas boiler heating, freehold tenure and fast broadband and mobile signal.
The property will be sold via the Modern Method of Auction. Bidders should note an undisclosed reserve price, a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.2% (minimum £6,000) and a £349 buyer information pack fee. The auction process allows 56 days for completion to assist mortgage arrangements, but buyers must complete their own due diligence — the pack may not contain every necessary detail.
The bungalow is solidly constructed (cavity walls, 1967–75 era) but presents as dated and will benefit from modernization — carpets and some finishes need updating. The local area shows higher crime levels and wider area deprivation; consider location and security needs carefully alongside the property’s low council tax and proximity to schools, shops and transport links.
Overall this is a practical, compact home with clear potential for cosmetic improvement or immediate occupancy for someone happy with a modest, single-storey property. The auction route and associated fees make it most suitable for buyers prepared to move quickly and factor extra purchase costs into their budget.
