A vacant three-bedroom semi-detached house on a generous plot in Benfleet, offered for sale by public auction. The property provides well-proportioned rooms, a detached garage with workshop, driveway parking and good-sized front and rear gardens — attractive for buyers looking to add value. Live auction date: Thursday 9th October 2025, noon.
The house requires full renovation throughout: the kitchen, bathroom and general decoration need complete renewal, and some areas show wear and mould. The property is solid-brick (likely uninsulated) with secondary glazing and gas central heating; buyers should budget for insulation, modern services and a full refurbishment.
There is potential to extend to the side and rear, subject to planning consent from Castle Point District Council, which could significantly increase living space and value. The location sits in a comfortable, ageing suburb with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and nearby schools rated Good, making it suitable for buy-to-let investors or owner-occupiers prepared to carry out works.
Note: the property will be sold at auction and is offered freehold. Crime levels in the area are above average; purchasers should factor this into rental projections and insurance costs.
