Summary - 148, Tankerville Drive SS9 3DD
2 bed 1 bath Bungalow
Sunny east-facing garden and garage close to top schools and Leigh Broadway.
No onward chain; offered Freehold and chain-free
Set on a large plot in the heart of Leigh-on-Sea, this detached two-bedroom bungalow combines traditional 1930s character with clear potential to modernise and extend (STPC). The single-storey layout and east-facing rear garden create an easy, low-maintenance home with excellent natural light and scope to reconfigure the internal space—two reception rooms could be opened into one larger living area or reworked into a third bedroom.
Practical positives include a garage, wide driveway with in-and-out access for multiple vehicles, and a generous 990 sq ft footprint on a large plot. The location is a strong selling point for families: within catchment for outstanding primary schools and under a mile from highly rated secondary schools, only minutes from Leigh Broadway and local transport links, and close to Belfairs Woods.
There are important fabric and layout considerations to factor into any offer. The property dates from 1930–1949 with solid brick walls and no assumed wall insulation; double glazing was installed prior to 2002 and may not meet current standards. There is a single bathroom and a traditional boiler/radiator heating system; some updating will be required to bring the bungalow to modern energy and layout expectations. Any extension plans would need the appropriate planning permission (STPC).
Chain-free and Freehold, this bungalow is well suited to families seeking a roomy, single-level home in a very affluent area, or to buyers looking for a sympathetic refurbishment project with strong location-driven value. The combination of plot size, parking and proximity to schools and amenities offers clear potential once modernised.
