Set on a generous quarter-acre plot overlooking the River Crouch, Folly Lodge is a spacious five-double-bedroom detached family home in rural Althorne. The house offers flexible living across two floors, with a large living room, separate dining room and a well-proportioned kitchen; several rooms have good natural light and garden views. The rear garden runs approximately 47m x 13m, providing extensive outdoor space for children, pets and gardening.
Practical advantages include a large single garage (5.55m x 3.22m) and ample driveway parking, plus a recently refitted family bathroom and an en-suite to the principal bedroom. There is clear potential to create a more open-plan ground floor by opening up the wall between kitchen and dining room, or by converting the garage and/or extending the rear to form a substantial kitchen-family room — suitable for growing families wanting more modern, connected living space.
Buyers should note this is a mature, traditional property that offers scope rather than turnkey modern finishes throughout; planned conversion or extension work will be required to realise some of the described potential. The house sits in a quiet village setting with very low crime and fast broadband, making it well-suited to countryside family life with good links to nearby towns and marina walks along the estuary.
