Set on a large plot in Thorpe Bay’s sought-after Burges Estate, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers single-storey living with genuine scope to modernise. The house sits back from the road behind a wide frontage with driveway parking for several cars and a single garage, while the rear garden and sun room provide private outdoor space and potential for extension (subject to consents).
Constructed in the mid-20th century and double-glazed after 2002, the property benefits from cavity-filled walls and gas central heating to radiators, giving a solid, economical basis. Local amenities are strong: Thorpe Bay Broadway shops, the mainline railway station and seafront are all within easy reach. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, including an outstanding girls’ grammar, making the location attractive to families.
The bungalow will suit buyers seeking a spacious, single-level home with scope to personalise rather than a turnkey move-in. There is only one bathroom and some areas will need updating to contemporary standards, so budget for refurbishment. No flood risk is recorded and the area is very affluent with low crime, which supports long-term value retention.
Viewings are recommended for buyers wanting a sizeable plot and parking in a coveted seaside suburb, with clear potential to create a modern, comfortable home while retaining character features.
