This two-bedroom ground floor maisonette in Wickford, Essex, presents a mixed bag. Located in the Wickford Park area, the property benefits from proximity to Wickford’s mainline train station, offering commuters easy access to London. Nearby, several primary schools boast ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings, making it an appealing area for families. The property itself, however, requires significant modernisation and upgrading. The photos reveal dated interiors, including carpets, walls, kitchen, and bathroom. The garden, while present, needs considerable attention. The lack of precise square footage measurements for the plot only serves to emphasize the need for potential buyers to be aware that significant renovation will be required. The price point reflects the need for this work and while it may seem fair for the location, potential buyers should allocate a substantial budget for renovations. Overall, this property presents an opportunity for someone willing to invest time and resources in a refurbishment project, to create a comfortable home in a convenient location. The available land is adequate but requires significant work. The price, while competitive for the area, is primarily reflective of the property’s need for substantial improvement.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
