Chain-free four-bed chalet with double garage and large plot — ideal renovation near Thorpe‑le‑Soken station.
Chain-free detached chalet bungalow on large plot
Set on a large plot in Thorpe‑le‑Soken, this detached four‑bedroom chalet bungalow offers substantial space and clear potential. The property is chain‑free and sits back from the road with a long driveway and a double garage, providing generous parking and storage. At around 2,070 sq ft, the footprint is rare for the area and suits a growing family or buyers seeking a significant refurbishment project.
Internally the layout includes a large living room and multiple bedrooms, though much of the home requires modernisation. Original mid‑20th‑century features remain, but dated decor, carpet wear and general fixtures will need updating. The property is presented as a renovation opportunity — buyers should expect cosmetic and likely substantive works to bring the house up to modern standards.
Location is a strong practical advantage: under a mile from Thorpe‑le‑Soken station, close to local shops and within reach of Clacton and Frinton. Good road links towards the A12 and London make commutes feasible. Nearby schools have Good Ofsted ratings, and the area is low crime and generally affluent.
Considerations: the house needs renovation (sold as needing work) and council tax is above average. For buyers prepared to invest, this detached bungalow on a large plot represents a chance to create a bespoke family home in a peaceful, well‑connected village setting.
