This compact three-bedroom semi-detached house on Buller Road offers an affordable entry into Basildon for first-time buyers or investors prepared to refurbish. At around 559 sq ft the accommodation is modest but workable: two reception rooms, three bedrooms and one bathroom provide a sensible family layout that can be updated to modern tastes.
The property’s strengths are practical: freehold tenure, off-street driveway parking for multiple cars and a private garden for outdoor use. Mains gas central heating and cavity wall insulation (assumed) give a useful starting point for energy improvements. Transport links are convenient, with Laindon station within reach and local shops and supermarkets nearby.
Important negatives are clear and should be weighed: the house needs renovation throughout, including modernisation of fixtures and finishes. Double glazing is older (installed before 2002) and may require replacement. The immediate area is classified as deprived and recorded crime levels are above average — factors that may affect resale or rental returns and should be investigated.
Overall this is a value-led opportunity: buyers willing to invest time and budget can create a comfortable home or rental asset in a well-connected town location. For someone seeking an affordable starter home with scope to add value, this property merits a viewing.
