Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Southend-on-Sea, this three-bedroom semi-detached period home delivers a rare mix of character and practical living. The ground floor offers two large reception rooms — one with bifolding doors into a sunny south-east garden and a bay-fronted room that could be used as a fourth bedroom. The spacious eat-in kitchen and generous hallway storage make day-to-day living straightforward.
Upstairs there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive bay-fronted master with room to add an en-suite. The family bathroom is finished to a high, hotel-style standard with a freestanding bath and large walk-in shower. Practical upgrades include double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating and good broadband and mobile signal.
Outside, exceptional frontage provides off-street parking for up to four vehicles — an uncommon asset close to the town centre. The south-east facing rear garden is low-maintenance, with a patio and artificial grass for easy entertaining. Commuters benefit from walking distance to Southend Central and Prittlewell stations and quick access to the A13/A127.
Buyers should note the property sits in an area with higher-than-average crime and broader local deprivation indicators. The house is built with solid brick walls (likely without cavity insulation) and, while well maintained, may benefit from further insulating works. The plot is modest in size and there is a single main bathroom despite the home’s overall space and potential to add another. Freehold tenure and affordable council tax are practical positives for owner-occupiers or investors.
