This substantial five-bedroom detached house on Leigh Cliff Road combines period character with modern family living. Spacious reception rooms, a large open-plan kitchen/breakfast area and a generous primary suite on the second floor make it easy to live, work and entertain under one roof. The property benefits from distant sea views, off-street parking for two cars and a landscaped rear garden for children and pets.
Layout and finish are family-focused: two large reception rooms plus an open-plan kitchen/breakfast room with integrated NEFF appliances, utility and downstairs WC provide practical everyday flow. Four double bedrooms sit on the first floor while the extensive top-floor primary bedroom has an en-suite and Juliet balcony overlooking the coast, creating a private retreat. Built-in storage, engineered wood and tiled floors add durability in high-traffic areas.
Important practical points: the house dates from the early 20th century and has double glazing installed before 2002 and assumed solid brick walls with no built-in insulation — buyers should consider insulation and window upgrades to improve thermal performance. Council tax is noted as quite expensive. Overall the property is in good decorative order but retains traditional fabric that may need modern energy-efficiency improvements over time.
Location is a key strength: within easy walking distance of Leigh Broadway, beaches and Chalkwell station, this home suits families wanting strong schools, coastal lifestyle and reliable transport links. For those seeking a large, characterful family home with scope for targeted improvement, this offers a rare combination of space, situation and seaside appeal.
