Set on a generous corner plot in sought-after Thorpe Bay, this three-bedroom detached bungalow blends mid-century character with contemporary finishes. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen space opens via bifold doors to an east-facing patio, while south-facing windows and clerestory glazing flood the home with light. The primary bedroom benefits from a recently refinished en suite with terrazzo tiles and a rain-style shower.
Outside, mature palms and yuccas give the front garden a West Coast feel. Two driveways and a garage/workshop provide ample off-street parking and storage. The property is a short walk to Thorpe Bay station, local shops, schools and the beach — a practical location for families wanting good transport links and coastal leisure.
Practical points are clear and factual: the house was built in the 1960s and retains many original features, including woodblock floors and aluminium window frames. Double glazing is in place but was installed before 2002, and the flat/mono-pitched roof profile will require regular inspection and maintenance. Council Tax sits above average for the area. There is no identified flood risk.
This is a characterful, substantial bungalow for buyers after space, light and location. It will suit families or downsizers who value one-level living and are happy to maintain and sympathetically update 1960s elements where desired.
