Summary - High Street, Great Wakering, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, SS3 SS3 0HZ
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Generous plot with outbuildings and convenient local amenities.
Substantial four-bedroom detached period house, circa 1949
This substantial four-bedroom detached period home sits on a large corner plot in Great Wakering, offering generous family accommodation across multiple reception rooms. Built around 1949, the house retains original period features such as timber panelling, decorative beams and a brick fireplace that give the property character and warmth.
Accommodation is flexible: a grand entrance hall leads to four separate reception rooms, a kitchen with utility and cloakroom, and a first floor with four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master with en-suite. The plot is a standout asset, with a large rear garden, two garages, workshop, sizeable greenhouses and additional outbuildings ideal for hobbies, storage or potential home working.
Practical details are straightforward: off-street parking and driveway, mains gas boiler and double glazing (install date unknown). Nearby schools include highly rated Southend High School for Girls and several well-regarded primaries, and local shops and bus routes are within easy reach — convenient for family life.
Buyers should note material considerations: the house was built in the mid-20th century and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so thermal improvements may be needed. Council tax is described as expensive. While the property is well maintained in parts, some modernisation and energy-efficiency upgrades would improve comfort and running costs.
For a family seeking generous space, period charm and scope to personalise, this home presents strong potential. An internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the size, layout and garden opportunities firsthand.
