Comfortable three-bedroom semi-detached home in a quiet Marks Tey close, well suited to families seeking good transport links and outdoor space. The ground floor offers a living room, conservatory, fitted kitchen, utility and a garage conversion currently used as a study or extra reception — useful for home working or a playroom. Upstairs has two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom; a second ground-floor bathroom adds flexibility for busy households.
The private, enclosed rear garden is a standout feature: a decent plot with lawn and a raised seating area ideal for alfresco dining and safe play. Off-street parking is provided by a private driveway. The property is freehold, with double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. Marks Tey station, the A12/A120 and local shops are all within easy reach, making commuting and everyday errands straightforward.
The house dates from the late 1960s–70s and presents a mix of ready-to-live-in elements and areas that would benefit from updating. The garage conversion increases usable space but should be checked for insulation, wiring and planning conformity if future buyers want to revert or convert officially. The property is average-sized overall (around 1,205 sq ft) and sits in a comfortable neighbourhood with generally good schools nearby.
Practical points to note: there is no flood risk and broadband and mobile signal are strong, but the home shows signs of mid-century construction and some maintenance or modernisation may be required to personalise fixtures and cosmetics. Council tax is described as affordable and the wider area is classed as semi-detached ageing — a sensible purchase for families or buyers seeking a commuter-friendly home with garden and scope to improve.
