Affordable top-floor maisonette with parking and strong transport links.
Top-floor two-bedroom maisonette with south-facing lounge
This two-bedroom top-floor maisonette on a quiet cul-de-sac offers practical space and clear potential for a first home or buy-to-let. The south-facing lounge fills the apartment with natural light and there’s allocated off-street parking — useful extras for everyday living. Pitsea town centre and Pitsea train station are within easy walking distance, providing good links to London and local shopping.
The property requires renovation and cosmetic updating throughout; buyers should expect works to modernise finishes and services. The building was constructed in the 1950–66 period with a timber frame and only partial insulation assumed; the home does have double glazing fitted after 2002 and a mains-gas boiler with radiators. The lease has 98 years remaining and the tenure is leasehold.
Be clear about local context: this part of Basildon is classified as very deprived and the immediate area records very high crime levels. These factors affect resale and rental values and should be considered alongside the low asking price and cheap council tax banding. For buyers willing to renovate, the maisonette presents a relatively affordable entry into the area with potential to add value.
Nearby schools have Good Ofsted ratings and local amenities include parks, playgrounds, shops and regular bus services. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working or streaming. Overall, the property suits a buyer seeking an affordable project close to transport and basic services, or an investor targeting rental demand after improvement works.
