Set on a large plot in Thorpe Bay, this four-double-bedroom detached house offers roomy family living and a private south-facing rear garden. The property totals about 1,723 sq ft and sits within Bournes Green School catchment, with the beach, Broadway shops and mainline station all close by. The layout is multi-story with six main rooms plus generous outdoor space and a double-width garage.
The house was constructed in the late 1960s–1970s and has been extended and maintained; it features mains gas central heating, boiler-and-radiator system, filled cavity walls and double glazing (installation date unknown). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, while flood risk is nil and local crime levels are very low — practical advantages for family life and working from home.
Practical considerations: council tax band is not provided and the age of some installations (glazing, boiler) is unspecified, so expect routine servicing or future replacement costs. The freehold tenure and short onward chain are helpful for a quicker move; the price reflects realistic positioning for the area and size.
This property suits families seeking space, good local schools and seaside proximity, plus those wanting a well-kept ready-to-move-in house with potential to personalise further. Viewing is recommended to assess room proportions and any updating you may want to undertake.
