This three-bedroom, two-bathroom terraced bungalow in Pitsea, Essex, is listed at £290,000. The property is situated in Broomfields Court, a location that benefits from its proximity to several primary schools with good Ofsted ratings, including Maple Grove Primary School and Northlands Primary School and Nursery, both within a kilometre. The Basildon Upper Academy is also nearby, although its Ofsted rating requires improvement. Commuting is facilitated by Pitsea train station, approximately 1.3km away, providing access to the c2c line.

The property itself presents a mixed picture. While it offers a good size at 1225 sqft and includes a garden, the images suggest it is in need of modernisation. The carpets appear dated, and some areas show signs of wear and tear, particularly in the bedrooms. The kitchen and bathrooms, while functional, also show their age and could benefit from updating. The conservatory/utility area is a useful addition but also requires some attention. The plot size of 1046 sqft is relatively modest.

Considering the average house price in the area is £276,193 and the average price per sqft is £307, the asking price of £290,000 for this 1225 sqft property seems slightly high, especially given its condition. Nearby comparable properties on Broomfields Court show a range of prices, with some significantly lower. However, the larger size of this property compared to many of the nearby terraces may justify a higher price point. A full survey would be recommended to assess the extent of required works and accurately determine the property’s true value.

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