Summary - 20 ESSEX CRESCENT SEAHAM SR7 8DZ
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Starter opportunity near A19 with generous rear garden and driveway.
Freehold two-bedroom semi-detached, priced for entry-level buyers
A compact two-bedroom semi-detached house offered freehold at an accessible price point. The property sits on a small plot with a paved side driveway and a generous rear garden enclosed by timber fencing, giving outdoor space rare for homes at this price. Windows are modern double-glazed units and heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators.
This home is best suited to a first-time buyer or investor willing to do light updating. Internally the layout provides an entrance hall, lounge, and kitchen/diner downstairs, with two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The house is presented in basic condition and represents clear scope for improvement and value-add refurbishment.
Practical advantages include very low council tax (Band A), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, no local flood risk, and reasonably direct access to the A19 and local bus routes. Nearby primary and secondary schools have Good Ofsted ratings, which will suit young families.
Material considerations are the property's location in a very deprived area and the local classification indicating socioeconomic challenges; buyers should factor this into long-term resale and rental expectations. The EPC rating is D and the build dates to the 1950s–1960s, so further energy or maintenance works could be required. Overall, the house is an affordable, small-footprint opportunity for someone seeking a starter home or a refurb investment.
