Description
This three-bedroom mid-terrace house has a front living room and a kitchen with dining space and access to the rear garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC. The accommodation is described as requiring modernisation, offering scope for a buyer to update it to their requirements.
Outside, the rear garden is mainly lawn with paved areas and access to a garage. The garage has an electric door, and there is off-road parking in front of it. The property also has a small lawn and paved path at the front.
The house is on a quiet road with access to the A127, local shops and supermarkets, Southend Airport and a mainline railway station. It is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, subject to the grant of probate, which is still awaited.

52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a sound canvas for a medium-scale makeover: the photographed rooms are intact but consistently dated, giving a buyer scope to refresh the finishes and update the kitchen and bathroom. The enclosed garden, garage and off-road parking add useful appeal, while the three-bedroom layout and access to shops, the A127 and rail links support the fundamentals. At £345/sqf, the asking price is slightly below the local £350/sqf average, which is a modest plus; however, purchase plus the £33,000–£57,000 renovation range looks tight against local benchmarks, so the project economics are the main constraint.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated finishes across the photographed rooms, including the kitchen and bathroom.
- Make use of the enclosed lawn, patio areas and rear access as a practical outdoor space.
- The garage and off-road parking provide useful storage and convenience.
Key risks
- The garage interior is cluttered and its exposed roof structure merits inspection; no definite failure is established in the photos.
