Description

Aspire are pleased to present this spacious three-bedroom semi-detached family home, ideally located just a short stroll from Southend seafront and directly adjacent to Southchurch Park Nature Reserve. This property has been beautifully updated and decorated throughout, making it a perfect fit for growing families. One of its standout features is the expansive rear garden, measuring approximately 110ft, which offers ample space for entertaining and family activities. Upon entering, you are greeted by a generous entrance hallway that leads to a separate bay-fronted lounge and an impressive living/dining room that spans the rear of the property. This area is enhanced by French doors that open onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The modern kitchen is equipped with Quartz worktops and integrated appliances, and it comes with planning permission already granted for an extension. A convenient cloakroom on the ground floor adds to the practicality of the layout. The first floor hosts three well-proportioned bedrooms, all featuring newly fitted glazed windows, alongside a modern four-piece family bathroom with fresh flooring. The boiler and bathroom ventilation have been inspected and come with warranties for added reassurance. Significant improvements have been made to the home, including a newly re-felted and re-tiled roof with a 10-year warranty, as well as comprehensive damp-proofing also backed by a warranty. The exterior boasts an impressive garden with patio, lawn, and shingled areas, complemented by a block-paved driveway that accommodates two to three vehicles. With Southchurch Park and the seafront just moments away, as well as Southend East Station within walking distance, this property is ideally situated. It also falls within the catchment area for the popular Greenways School. Further potential exists to convert the loft into additional living space, subject to necessary consents.

26out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom semi-detached family home presents a charming opportunity in a desirable Southend location, just a stone's throw from the seafront and Southchurch Park. The property is well-decorated and boasts modern updates throughout, including a spacious living/dining area that opens onto a large rear garden, perfect for family gatherings or relaxation. The modern kitchen features integrated appliances and Quartz worktops, while the four-piece family bathroom is in excellent condition, enhancing the home's appeal.

Despite its attractive features, the asking price of £525,000 appears dear compared to the local average sale price of £372,176. This weak price/value signal suggests a limited opportunity for value-added potential, especially given the lack of specific floor area information. However, the groundwork for future enhancements is laid out well, including planning permission for a kitchen extension and the potential for loft conversion, making it an appealing project for those looking to create additional space. Overall, while the economic signals are not strong, the location and condition of the property present a worthwhile canvas for improvement.
