Set on a large plot in the popular village of Great Tey, this detached four‑bedroom home offers comfortable family living with scope to update. The house features a generous lounge, separate dining room, conservatory and a well‑proportioned kitchen with adjoining utility — useful for busy households. A detached garage, car port and block‑paved driveway provide secure parking and storage.
Bedrooms are roomy for a home of this era, with built‑in storage in the principal rooms. The single family bathroom plus a cloakroom mean the layout works for many families but could feel tight at peak times; adding a second bathroom or en‑suite is a straightforward improvement opportunity. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and the property benefits from low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical for home working and study.
Constructed in the mid‑20th century, the house is solidly built with filled cavity walls and has oil‑fired boiler heating. Oil fuel brings independence from mains gas but also variable running costs and routine servicing. The property shows mid‑century fittings and some areas will benefit from modernization to match contemporary tastes and increase value.
Great Tey’s village location combines rural character with commuter convenience: Marks Tey station is nearby for links to London, while local primary and secondary schools and green spaces suit family life. Buyers seeking a move‑in‑ready, newly finished home may need to allow budget for updating; buyers looking to extend or adapt will find clear potential and a large plot to work with.
