Description

This spacious three-bedroom semi-detached house in Basildon showcases unique retro characteristics that are ripe for revitalization. Originally constructed as a newbuild during the early days of Basildon New Town, this property has been cherished by its single owner, yet it now awaits a buyer ready to infuse it with contemporary style while retaining its historical charm. The home offers substantial renovation potential, ideally suited for those looking to transform its quirky features—such as the serving hatch and metal staircase framework—into a stylish modern living space. The generous living room invites social gatherings and family meals, while the kitchen can easily accommodate modern appliances and perhaps even a breakfast bar for casual dining. The integrated garage presents an opportunity for conversion into additional living space or a shower room, leveraging its convenient location beneath the bathroom. Upstairs, two spacious double bedrooms and a cozy single provide comfort and chances for built-in storage solutions, all with pleasant views of the surrounding gardens. Located just a short walk from local amenities, including transport links and shopping facilities, this property is positioned to benefit from Basildon's ongoing regeneration initiatives. With green spaces like Langdon Hills Country Park nearby and recreational options including golf clubs and fitness facilities within easy reach, this home strikes a balance between tranquility and accessibility. Whether you're aiming to create a family residence or explore HMO possibilities without any extensions, this house offers significant investment potential awaiting your vision.
