Summary - 73 MARCUS AVENUE THORPE BAY SOUTHEND-ON-SEA SS1 3LE
5 bed 5 bath Detached
Large plot with garage, close to station and beach.
Five well-proportioned bedrooms, two with ensuites
This detached five-bedroom home on Marcus Avenue offers practical family living with convenient local amenities. A bright kitchen/family room opens directly onto a private rear garden, creating an easy indoor–outdoor flow for daily life and summer entertaining. Two ground-floor bedrooms include ensuites for flexible use as guest or ground-level accommodation.
Outside, the property benefits from off-street parking, garage access and a large plot — rare in this postcode — while Thorpe Bay station, Shoebury Common beach and Thorpe Hall Golf Club are all within easy reach. The house falls within the catchment for Thorpedene Primary and Shoeburyness High School, both well regarded for local families.
Built in the 1950s–60s, the home has a contemporary appearance and double glazing (install date unknown), but buyers should note the compact overall internal size (approximately 1,088 sq ft) for a five-bedroom layout. Council Tax Band E means above-average running costs. The property is freehold with mains gas central heating and low local crime levels.
This is a good option for a family that values location, outdoor space and commuter links, or for buyers seeking a versatile house with scope to reconfigure or update interiors to better suit modern open-plan preferences. The lack of flood risk and strong local amenities add practical reassurance.
