9 Ilfracombe Avenue, Bowers Gifford, Basildon

What a great opportunity to buy in this lovely road, with a good sized rear garden overlooking open fields.  The has been a much loved home for this family for many decades, and is now ready for a new lease of life with a new family making it their own.

The property has all the fundamentals - double glazing, working electrics, gas boiler and central heating system - but is in need of refurbishment so would best suit those looking for a property to improve and build on the great foundations here.

First time buyers, investors looking for the next project or developers that want to take it to the next level.

With ample outside space including off road parking, garage and sheds - it does have lots of potential both inside and out.

The layout comprises most of the home on the ground floor level, with one bedroom upstairs with the great views out to the fields at the back.

The location is particularly good, being in a quiet no through road, within walking distance to Pitsea rail station on the C2C line, the town centre and with schools nearby.  If travelling by road the A13 is just minutes away, with the A127 only about a five minute drive - it's a really quiet, but central location.

If you're new to the area, you can look forward to easy visits to nearby Benfleet shops and restaurants as well as Basildon which is only a ten minute drive away.  There are lots of retail and leisure facilities within a few minutes, as well as coastal and countryside walks, leisure centres and golf course - so much to see and enjoy in this great area.

Our understanding is that the property is in excess of 75 years old, with the extension into the roof being undertaken in excess of 40 years ago.  This is a Freehold property and is of standard construction for the time.
