Set on a decent plot in a quiet Wickford close, this single-storey home delivers comfortable living on one level with a large L-shaped lounge, conservatory and an east-facing rear garden. The layout feels deceptive for its footprint, with two double bedrooms, an impressive bathroom and a kitchen that opens into the conservatory — ideal for relaxed days at home.
Practical features include a double garage and driveway parking, freehold tenure and no onward chain, making a straightforward purchase for downsizers or those looking to simplify. Services are conventional: warm-air gas central heating, mains gas and fast broadband. EPC C reflects reasonable energy performance for a mid-century build.
There are some straightforward improvements to consider: the property dates from the 1950s–60s with cavity walls assumed uninsulated, and the heating type is warm air rather than modern radiators. The footprint is modest at about 624 sq ft with a single bathroom, which may limit larger families. However, neighbouring homes and the plot suggest scope to extend, subject to planning permission (STP).
Overall this is a low-crime, affluent area home offering immediate occupation and clear potential to add value. It suits someone seeking a manageable, single-level residence with garden and garage, who is happy to update heating or insulation over time or explore an extension to increase living space.
