Description

This three-bedroom detached house offers approximately 1,300 sq ft of accommodation on a substantial plot in Eastwood. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, a 24ft living and dining room with a fireplace and sliding doors to the rear garden, a separate kitchen, a WC and an integral garage. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom, including two double bedrooms. The house would benefit from modernisation, while its existing room sizes and layout provide scope to update the interiors. The deep rear garden has established planting and lawn, and the front provides a driveway and additional garden space. The plot may offer scope for extension or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary permissions and consents. Green Lane is within reach of local schools, parks, shops and transport links. Leigh-on-Sea's Broadway, restaurants, cafés and waterfront are also accessible. The property is freehold and has Council Tax Band E.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached home offers a strong canvas for a light modernisation: the generous living/dining room opens directly onto a deep, established garden, and the garage and driveway add practical appeal. Dated finishes and some wear leave scope to refresh the interiors, with the kitchen and bathroom updates being optional ways to bring the home up to date. The listing also points to possible extension or reconfiguration, subject to permissions, though feasibility is not established.

The main constraint is value: at £625,000, the asking price is above the local £/sqf benchmark, and purchase plus the estimated £7,000–£18,000 refurb looks tight against local benchmarks. That makes this a less compelling value-led project despite its appealing plot and fundamentals.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated finishes and marked flooring to give the home a more contemporary feel.
  • Make the most of the spacious living/dining room and its direct connection to the established rear garden.
  • Explore the stated scope for extension or reconfiguration, subject to permissions and feasibility.
