This two-bedroom single-storey bungalow on Avondale Road offers easy, step-free living for anyone looking to downsize without sacrificing convenience. The property is freehold and chain-free, with off-street parking for two cars and a decent rear garden — practical assets for everyday life. Recent external redecoration and a tidy façade suggest the home can be occupied quickly.
Internally the layout is straightforward: entrance hall, living room, two double bedrooms, family bathroom, kitchen and separate utility room. The compact footprint (approx. 737 sq ft) makes maintenance manageable and suits buyers wanting a smaller, single-storey home close to local shops, schools and Pitsea train station. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or streaming.
Be candid about the fabric and location: the house was constructed in the 1930s–1940s and has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, so heating costs could be higher than modern builds. The glazing is double but the installation date is unknown. The area records high crime levels and notable deprivation metrics; buyers should factor neighbourhood context and security measures into their decision.
Overall this bungalow represents practical downsizing potential with immediate occupation possible, modest running costs, and straightforward improvement scope (insulation and internal cosmetics). It will suit buyers prioritising single‑storey living, good local transport links and a manageable outdoor space, but those seeking a very quiet or affluent neighbourhood should look elsewhere.
