This Edwardian semi-detached house on Furlong Road offers a well-balanced mix of period character and modern living across three floors. A sympathetic extension has created a large open-plan kitchen-diner with island and double doors to a west-facing garden — an ideal social hub for family life and entertaining. The property includes a luxury loft conversion with a king-size bedroom and ensuite wet room, plus three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Practical benefits include a wide driveway with off-street parking for at least two cars, double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The house is chain-free and located about 400 yards from Bourne End train station, with shops, cafés and the River Thames within easy walking distance — convenient for commuting and leisure.
Buyer considerations: the building dates from the early 1900s and has solid brick walls assumed to have no cavity insulation; double glazing was fitted before 2002. The plot is small and the property has a medium flooding risk. These factors may mean future energy-efficiency improvements or flood mitigation work could be needed.
Overall, this is a comfortable, characterful family home in a central Bourne End position. It will suit buyers who value period features and ready-to-live-in space but who are prepared to consider modest improvements to improve insulation and long-term resilience to local flood risk.
