Commuter-friendly two-bed home with conservatory — potential to improve energy efficiency.
Freehold two-bedroom mid-20th century mid-terrace, approx. 1,023 sq ft
This freehold two-bedroom mid-20th century terrace sits on Long Acre, a short walk from Basildon town centre and the mainline station — ideal for commuters and first-time buyers seeking straightforward access to transport and local amenities. The house offers a large living/dining room, a modern kitchen, ground-floor cloakroom and a bright conservatory that opens onto a neat rear garden, providing practical family space and easy entertaining.
Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms and a family shower room; room sizes are well-proportioned for the property’s footprint (approximately 1,023 sq ft). The plot is small but useable, with a front garden adding kerb appeal. Broadband is reported fast and mobile signal excellent — helpful for home working or streaming.
There are some practical issues to note: the property is a solid-brick build dating from c.1950–66 and is assumed to have no cavity insulation, while the existing double glazing was installed before 2002. The neighbourhood is classified as hampered with above-average crime and wider area deprivation; buyers should consider security and potential energy-efficiency upgrades (insulation, modern glazing) when budgeting. Services, appliances and any alterations should be independently verified.
Overall, this is a large, well-located terraced home with immediate commuter appeal and scope to add value through targeted improvements to insulation, windows and general modernisation. It will suit buyers looking for a ready-to-live-in house with future upgrade potential rather than a fully renovated move-in property.
