Description
Offered at auction, this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow has single-storey accommodation, a conservatory and a good-sized rear garden. Off-street parking is provided at the front. The listing describes scope to create a chalet-style home by extending upwards, subject to planning permission and other required consents; feasibility should be checked before relying on this option.
Pitsea Railway Station and the town centre are within reach, with local bus services and access to the A13. A large Tesco store is a short drive away. The property is presented as an opportunity to update or adapt, with the auction terms, reservation fee and buyer information pack costs to be reviewed before bidding.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This bungalow has a clear renovation canvas: older finishes across several interior areas, a dated kitchen and bathroom, and flooring and wall deterioration to investigate and improve. The long established garden, off-street parking and conservatory add useful features, while the advertised chalet-style extension is a possibility only subject to planning and consents.
At £270,000, the asking price is about 11% above the local average per square foot, and the purchase price plus a medium works programme looks stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this floor area. That comparison is with current local averages, not a forecast of the value after renovation, so the overall opportunity is limited unless the price or future value case stacks up on further investigation.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated interior finishes, with scope to update the kitchen and bathroom and renew worn or damaged flooring.
- Make use of the long rear garden, established planting, off-street parking and conservatory as practical features of the property.
- Explore the advertised chalet-style upward extension potential, subject to planning permission, consents and a proper feasibility assessment.
Key risks
- The asking price combined with a medium works programme appears stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area; the post-renovation value would need separate evidence.
- Visible staining and deterioration at the base of a bedroom wall, and deterioration around the kitchen's lower wall or cabinet area, warrant inspection to establish the cause and extent.
- The conservatory has exposed pipework and a damaged or unfinished floor section; check the condition and scope of remedial work.
