A three-bedroom end-of-terrace arranged over two storeys, this property offers a practical, low-cost option for over-60s seeking a manageable home with outdoor space. The end position brings extra privacy and a larger-than-average rear garden, useful for gardening or accessible outdoor seating.

The house is suited to those wanting a comfortable retirement base in Basildon with good local amenities, transport links and several well-rated nearby schools. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators, and double glazing was fitted post-2002, helping reduce running costs. Council tax is described as affordable and mobile and broadband connections are strong.
There are clear maintenance and improvement needs: the property description and images indicate gutter and possible roof issues and suggest a structural inspection; walls are cavity without installed insulation (assumed). The overall internal size is small (approx. 641 sq ft) so space is compact. Buyers should factor refurbishment and any necessary inspections into budgets before committing.
This home is a practical, lower-cost route into ownership for eligible retirees seeking a garden and independence, provided they accept the modest size and carry out required maintenance or updates.
