Summary - 26 Marlborough Road SS1 2UA
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious 1930s family home with long rear garden, garage and no onward chain.
Three bedrooms plus family bathroom and ground-floor shower room/WC
Set within a popular Southchurch Park location, this three-bedroom 1930s semi-detached house offers traditional proportions, a generous 80' rear garden and a detached garage accessed via a shared driveway. The layout suits family life: a large front lounge, open-plan kitchen/diner, separate utility and a ground-floor shower room/WC, with three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The property is offered freehold and chain free, with a guide price of £450,000–£475,000.
The house retains period features such as bay windows, coved ceilings and fitted bedroom wardrobes, which give immediate charm and usable storage. Practical strengths include gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband — useful for families and home-working. Local amenities, Southend East station and the seafront are all within easy reach, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby.
Buyers should note the interior décor and some fixtures are dated and will benefit from modernisation to meet contemporary tastes. The property’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, so improving thermal efficiency could be a sensible onward investment. The shared driveway means access to the garage is communal, which may not suit buyers seeking private off-street parking.
Overall this is a characterful family home in a sought-after neighbourhood with good outside space and clear potential for a programme of updating to increase comfort and value.
