This split-level two-bedroom maisonette offers house-like living with generous rooms and open views to the rear. Set close to Wickford High Street and the railway station, it suits a first-time buyer seeking space or an investor after rental potential. The property is chain-free and includes a garage and permit parking.
Internally the layout provides two sizable double bedrooms, a large lounge with countryside views, a good-sized kitchen and family bathroom. The building dates from the mid-20th century and the interior is dated throughout — carpets, wallpaper and fixtures will need updating, presenting clear scope for refurbishment and value-add.
Practical details important to buyers: the flat is leasehold with 86 years remaining, a £78 monthly service charge (£936pa) and £10 annual ground rent. It is offered for sale by a Modern Method of Auction — a 4.5% non-refundable buyer reservation fee (minimum £6,600) applies, plus a Buyer Information Pack fee of £349. Completion is expected within 56 days.
This is a straightforward proposition for someone comfortable completing an auction purchase or prepared to modernise a well-located property. The strong transport links, local schools rated Good and Outstanding nearby, and private garage make it attractive, but the lease length and auction costs should be factored into affordability and mortgage checks before bidding.
