Grimston Road, Basildon, Essex

In effect offering two homes for the price of one, this 3 Bedroom End Terrace House has seen the previous side garage converted to a useful self-contained Studio/Annex.
Ideal for serving different purposes over time, the annexe offers flexible space and potential for various uses, that can adapt as your lifestyle changes.

The Annexe is perfect to rent out, would make a great Home Based Business Premises or alternatively, having its own 'Front Door', front Garden area and Drive, self-contained facilities, it would make a fantastic Airbnb listing, perfectly positioned to attract visitors needing easy access to London and the wider Essex area, and netting more money than a standard '1 Bed Flat' rental would get.

The main house itself has also been enlarged with a full width single storey extension across the back providing a big 19ft x 12ft Lounge overlooking the garden.
The original Lounge now offers optional use as a TV room/Playroom/2nd Sitting Room etc and there is still of course the Dining Room. So you've 3 living rooms in total!

The Kitchen has been fitted with an attractive range of light Oak effect units and features a recessed ceiling with inset downlighting.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms (the master bedroom is huge), and a third Box Room/Study, along with the bathroom.
The Studio/Annexe has its own front door with an open plan Living/Bedroom-Kitchen and a Bathroom to the rear.

The Rear garden with its split level patio makes for great summer parties and the front gives parking for three cars.

As well as offering great value with so much potential, the property is situated within the popular Fryerns neighbourhood, a community dating back to the 1950's and one of the first areas of Basildon New Town to be constructed.
There are many local amenities including a handy newsagent/convenience store around the corner on Pendle Drive, itself a small stone's throw from the Crane Pub (a friendly well regarded pub with a 4.9 Tripadvisor rating), and a great Parade of shops along Whitmore Way which includes a Chemist, Premier Convenience Store/Supermarket, a long established fish and chip shop and the Jolly Friar pub.
Bus stops are a-plenty in the area, including one 'on the corner', getting you easily to the town centre and surrounding towns.

INVESTMENT & AIRBNB POTENTIAL


The Studio is presented rented out.

With its private front door, open-plan living space and en-suite shower room, the annexe is ideally set up as a potential short-term holiday let via Airbnb. Unlike a traditional long-term tenancy — which previously generated up to £540 per calendar month — Airbnb hosts in the commuter belt can often command significantly higher returns by letting nightly or weekly, particularly given Basildon's fast rail links into London Fenchurch Street. The flexibility is a further bonus; block out dates for personal use, family guests or contractors as needed, while still generating a meaningful second income stream from a space that essentially runs itself.
