Chain‑free two‑bed bungalow with sizeable private rear garden
Set on Broadlands Avenue, this semi‑detached two‑bedroom bungalow offers a rare, chain‑free opportunity for a buyer seeking single‑storey living with a large, private rear garden. The layout includes a generous living room, separate dining room and a practical fitted kitchen with direct garden access — a straightforward plan that responds well to modernisation and reconfiguration.
The plot is a standout: a long, well‑screened rear garden ideal for gardening, outdoor entertaining or a single‑storey extension (subject to planning). The property is freehold and sits close to Hockley village amenities, fast train links to London and Southend, and several well‑rated primary and secondary schools, making it appealing to downsizers and buyers prioritising location and outdoor space.
Internally the bungalow shows its age and needs renovation to bring finishes, heating and electrics up to contemporary standards — the vendor describes the home as having excellent potential for personalisation. There is one shower room only and parking is on‑street; buyers seeking off‑road parking or multiple bathrooms should factor these limitations into their plans.
Practical considerations: the EPC is pending and the property is offered freehold with no onward chain, which can speed up purchase. This home will suit buyers prepared to invest time and budget to modernise, or investors looking for a value‑add project in a very affluent, low‑crime area.
