This well-presented five-bedroom detached house on Blackshots Lane delivers generous kerb appeal and versatile family living in North Grays. The layout includes spacious ground-floor reception rooms, a large kitchen/dining area, and a converted garage currently used as ancillary space — useful as a home office, gym, playroom or entertainment room. Two first-floor bedrooms both benefit from walk-in wardrobes and en-suite shower rooms, giving practical family separation and convenient morning routines.
Externally the property sits on a large plot with a mature, predominantly lawned rear garden and a decked seating area — a clear draw for outdoor family activities and entertaining. Extensive gravel driveway parking accommodates multiple vehicles (stated 8–10) and a hot tub is included. The home has double glazing, plantation shutters and cavity walls with external insulation, which support comfort and energy performance.
Important practical points: the internal floor area is modest for a five‑bedroom house (approximately 1,189 sq ft), so some rooms are compact and the overall footprint is smaller than many detached family homes. The property dates from the 1950s–60s, so buyers should expect older construction details and verify services and fittings during purchase. Council Tax is above average (Band E). Tenure is freehold.
This house will suit a family seeking a well-located, adaptable home in an established North Grays neighbourhood with good schools, fast broadband and strong transport links. It offers immediate move-in readiness with scope to reconfigure or modernise parts of the layout if you want to increase usable internal space.
