This three-bedroom end-terrace offers chain-free, freehold ownership and straightforward commuter links to London via Basildon station. The property provides a practical family layout with a generous lounge/diner, sizable kitchen and a utility room that retains capped plumbing—easy reinstatement for a downstairs WC. A low-maintenance rear garden and large communal car park to the front add day-to-day convenience.
The house is dated and will suit buyers prepared to modernise. Original-style fixtures, older décor and assumed lack of cavity insulation mean upfront renovation is likely—to upgrade heating efficiency, carpets, kitchen and bathroom. The single three-piece bathroom and modest bedroom sizes restrict flexibility without reconfiguration, though Bedroom 2 is notably long.
Location strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, nearby schools (several rated Good), and easy road access to the A13/A127. Council tax is relatively low and the plot is a decent size for a mid-terrace. However, the immediate area records very high crime and significant local deprivation; purchasers should factor this into long-term plans and rental expectations.
Overall this is a value-driven purchase for a first-time buyer or investor willing to renovate. It’s practical for immediate occupation but offers clear scope to add value through modernisation and reconfiguration, especially by reinstating the downstairs WC and updating insulation and heating components.
