Set on a generous 0.17-acre plot in a comfortable Tiptree neighbourhood, this detached five-bedroom home offers flexible family living across multiple floors. The house benefits from a private outdoor swimming pool, extensive paved entertaining areas and a substantial 36ft detached garage that could double as workshop, home gym or office. Solar panels help cut running costs and the property is offered chain free.
Interior space totals about 2,152 sq ft with a kitchen-dining layout, separate lounge and a mix of bedrooms including en-suite facilities. Large windows bring good daylight and the plot provides secure off-street parking for several vehicles. Local schools rated Good are within easy reach, and the setting is quiet with low crime and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note practical issues: the home is heated by an oil boiler and relies on oil fuel, broadband speeds are slow locally, and the cavity walls are thought to be uninsulated which may affect energy efficiency. The property dates from the late 1960s–1970s and, while well maintained outside, it may benefit from internal updating or insulation improvements to modern standards.
This house suits a family seeking space and outdoor lifestyle — particularly those who value a private pool and large garage space — and who are prepared to invest in energy upgrades and broadband if required. Offered with a guide price around £650,000, it represents a rare combination of plot size, pool and parking close to town amenities.
