Tucked away in a peaceful Orsett setting, this four-bedroom link-detached home combines practical family living with easy access to green space and London transport. The layout on the ground floor includes two reception rooms, a separate dining area and a generous kitchen, offering flexible space for everyday life and entertaining. A convenient ground-floor WC and garage add useful practicality. The house measures about 1,275 sq ft and sits on a decent plot with a large rear garden — ideal for children, pets and outdoor gatherings.
Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing comfortable sleeping accommodation for a growing family. Nearby primary and secondary schools are mostly rated Good, although one local secondary currently requires improvement; families should check catchment details and admissions. The property was constructed in the late 1990s–early 2000s, benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating, and is offered freehold.
Practical considerations: council tax is above average and local crime levels are higher than typical; these are important for buyers to factor into budgeting and lifestyle decisions. The single garage offers storage or workshop potential, and the driveway accommodates 2–3 cars. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working needs.
This home suits buyers seeking a comfortable, well-located family house with outdoor space and good commuter links. It will appeal to those wanting a move-in-ready property with scope for modest improvement rather than a full renovation. Early viewing is recommended to assess condition and layout in person.
