Quarter-acre plot with versatile outbuildings and easy commuting to London.
Quarter-acre private plot with expansive rear garden
Set on an impressive quarter-acre plot in sought-after Marks Tey, this extended four-bedroom semi offers generous living for growing families. The large kitchen/diner forms the social hub, while two reception rooms provide flexibility for formal dining, a playroom or a home office. Off-street parking for multiple vehicles and excellent transport links — including Marks Tey station and nearby A12/A120 — suit commuters.
The rear garden is a particular strong point: expansive lawn, patio and two sizeable outbuildings that offer scope for a workshop, home gym, studio or annexe (subject to planning). The property is offered chain-free and presents immediate family-ready accommodation with clear potential to adapt or extend further depending on needs.
Buyers should note there is a single family bathroom serving four bedrooms, and the home was constructed in the 1950s–1960s with cavity walls assumed uninsulated. Double glazing was installed before 2002, so windows and thermal performance may benefit from modernisation. Overall the house is well maintained but would reward targeted updating to improve energy efficiency and add value.
With around 3,008 sq ft of overall space and a multi-generational layout, this home balances immediate usability with scope for renovation or conversion of outbuildings (STPP). Nearby good primary and secondary schools, very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make it a practical country-edge family choice.
