Summary - 38 Maplin Way, Southend-On-Sea, Essex, SS1 SS1 3NE
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Large private garden and garage, ideal for downsizers seeking a renovation project near the seafront.
Detached two-bedroom bungalow on a large private plot
Set on a generous plot in Thorpe Bay, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers a rare single-storey opportunity close to the seafront and local amenities. The layout includes a large living room, fitted kitchen with appliances, two good-sized bedrooms and a single bathroom — all arranged on one accessible level.
The property requires renovation throughout; cosmetic and modernisation work is needed to realise its full potential. The plot is a standout asset: a large private rear garden, off-street parking and a garage provide scope for extension, landscaping or a contemporary refurbishment (subject to planning permission).
Practical positives include freehold tenure, fast broadband, low local crime and no flooding risk. The area is affluent with good primary schools nearby and regular transport links, making the bungalow well suited to downsizers or buyers seeking a long-term home in a sought-after coastal location.
Buyers should note the material drawbacks: the bungalow is aged and in need of modernisation, the garden is currently unkempt, and accommodation is average sized with a single bathroom. Early viewing is recommended to assess renovation costs and any extension potential.
