We investigated the iron-based ladder compounds (Ba, Cs)Fe$$_{2}$$Se$$_{3}$$, whose parent compounds, BaFe$$_{2}$$Se$$_{3}$$ and CsFe$$_{2}$$Se$$_{3}$$, have different space groups, formal valences of Fe and magnetic structures. Electrical resistivity, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, X-ray diffraction and powder neutron diffraction measurements were conducted to obtain the temperature and composition phase diagram of this system. Block magnetism seen in BaFe$$_{2}$$Se$$_{3}$$ is drastically suppressed with Cs doping. In contrast, stripe magnetism observed in CsFe$$_{2}$$Se$$_{3}$$ more resilient to Ba doping. Novel magnetic structure appears in intermediate compositions, which is similar to the stripe magnetism of CsFe$$_{2}$$Se$$_{3}$$ but with different inter-ladder spin configuration. Intermediate compounds show insulating behavior, nevertheless finite T-linear contribution in specific heat was obtained at low temperature.
