One Missing Wall. That's All That Stands Between This Tidy Mid-Terrace And A Second Bedroom. Put it back and you've matched every other house on the quiet pedestrian walk, at a price that makes sense. No chain to slow you down, just a straightforward job perfect for first time buyers and investors.

More often than not when you take on a project house your ‘To Do List’ will include knocking something down. This one just needs something putting back up.

A single partition wall and a doorway is the difference between what this house is right now and what it was originally built to be – and what every other home on Collingwood Walk already is.

At some point the second bedroom was absorbed into the main one. That created a bedroom with a separate dressing area, complete with fitted sliding wardrobes. 

It's a genuinely useful space as it stands – but it's also easy enough to put the partition back and add a doorway to the landing. That alone will give you back a proper two-bedroom house, on a quiet pedestrian walk where two and three bedrooms are the norm.

The shower room is a good size, though the tiles may not be to everyone’s taste and could do with updating – you may want to factor that into your plans alongside the wall.

The ground floor has a simple layout with an open plan lounge-diner that stretches from front to back. It measures almost 20m and with patio doors at the rear that open straight onto the garden, it gets plenty of light. 

The fitted kitchen sits just off it, fully functional and with its own back door out to the garden too.

Outside, the back garden is a pleasant surprise: mature, private, and with side access shared with the neighbour, which is typical for this style of home. At the front, there's a decent-sized garden leading onto the pedestrian path itself – a quiet, family stretch where you'll usually spot children playing outside.

Collingwood Walk connects Collingwood Road and Clay Hill Road, so you're within walking distance of shops, popular local primary schools including Cherry Tree, Bardfield and Fairhouse, and a solid network of bus routes running through Vange, Basildon and Pitsea. 

Basildon train station is under a mile away for the C2C line into London Fenchurch Street, and the A127 and A13 are both close by if you're driving. There's plenty of unrestricted parking on the road and around the walk.

If you want a two-bedroom house on a road of two and three-bedroom houses, currently priced and configured as one, this is about as clear an opportunity as they come – no chain, no complications, just a wall to reinstate.

I’m expecting plenty of interest from first time buyers and investors, so get in touch to arrange a viewing. Quote RT0654 when calling to view. Calls answered 24/7.
