Description

Nestled at the intersection of Fairfax Drive and Cavendish Gardens, this two-bedroom residence offers a promising canvas for renovation and investment. Ideal for those looking to embark on a complete overhaul, the property features a spacious rear garden and a sizeable front yard with the potential to be converted into off-street parking—a transformation already embraced by neighboring homes. Internally, the layout presents an opportunity for reconfiguration. The ground floor comprises a bright lounge that leads directly into a separate dining room and kitchen, creating a practical foundation that could easily accommodate modern open-plan living concepts. On the upper level, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms along with a family bathroom conveniently located at the rear. Although the home requires comprehensive refurbishment throughout, its robust structure and favorable dimensions allow for tailored updates that align with personal style and preference. Externally, the expansive rear garden not only offers ample space for outdoor activities but also opens possibilities for landscaping or extension projects, subject to planning approval. Likewise, the front yard's generous proportions hint at potential parking solutions that would enhance convenience and value. The location is another significant advantage; situated within close proximity to local shops, essential amenities, and various public transport options. Key destinations like Southend Hospital, Priory Park, Chalkwell Park, Southend City Centre, Leigh-on-Sea, and Chalkwell Beach are all easily accessible. Commuters will appreciate being near C2C and Greater Anglia train services offering direct routes into London. Families will find comfort in knowing this property falls within desirable school catchment areas, including Chase High School and Earls Hall Primary School among others—making it an appealing choice for those with educational considerations in mind. This home represents not just a house but also an exciting opportunity to create a customized living space in a well-connected community.
