Set in the heart of Roydon village and just a short walk from the main line station, this mid‑20th century detached home offers practical family living with rare riverside benefits. The house provides four good bedrooms, two reception rooms, a conservatory and a sizeable kitchen/breakfast room, all arranged over a traditional layout that suits growing families and flexible home working.
Outside, a large driveway, gated carport and an enclosed rear garden deliver generous parking and secure outdoor space. The property is a member of the Ducketts Mead Residents Association, which grants residents fishing rights and access to a private mooring and slipway on the River Stort — a distinctive lifestyle advantage for anglers and boat owners.
Buyers should note a few material points: the rear garden and some external areas need maintenance, there is only one family bathroom for four bedrooms, and the location has a medium flooding risk. Local recorded crime is above average and council tax is described as expensive, factors to weigh against the village conveniences and good local schools.
This is a comfortable, well‑proportioned family home with scope to modernise or reconfigure (the main bedroom already has plumbing in place for a potential en‑suite). It will appeal to families wanting station access, riverside leisure and a large plot, as well as to buyers seeking a property with clear potential to add value.
