This four-double-bedroom Tudor‑Revival semi presents generous period living space in a much‑sought part of Leigh‑on‑Sea. The house retains strong original character — bay windows, three fireplaces and stained glass — and delivers two large reception rooms, a high‑ceiling kitchen and a south‑facing rear garden with summer house and shed. Two bedrooms open onto a sizable rear balcony, and there is off‑street parking with direct courtyard access.
Location is a key strength: the property sits close to Chalkwell station, excellent grammar schools and Chalkwell Park, making it well suited to families seeking convenient commuting and schooling options. Early vacant possession is possible, so the house can work for buyers wanting a quick move.
Internally the kitchen includes built‑in appliances (Neff double oven, integrated dishwasher) but some areas reflect traditional fittings and could benefit from updating to suit contemporary tastes. There is a single main bathroom and the house is constructed with solid brick walls (likely lacking modern cavity insulation), so buyers should consider potential energy‑efficiency upgrades and minor modernisation works.
Overall this is a characterful family home offering space, south‑facing outdoor living and strong local amenities. It suits buyers who value period detail and proximity to schools and transport, and who are comfortable investing in targeted improvements (insulation, bathroom or cosmetic kitchen updates) to maximise the property’s potential.
