Set well back in a highly desirable South Benfleet address, this detached three-bedroom house sits on a substantial plot and includes an extra rear woodland of approximately 1.2 acres. The elevated setting delivers pleasant views towards Boyce Hill and the estuary, with a large lawn, patio and long private woodland that abuts Boyce Hill Golf Course. The plot’s size and outlook are the property’s standout assets.
The house offers two spacious reception rooms, a family room with vaulted ceiling, a kitchen/breakfast area and a practical layout for family living. There is off-street parking for two cars, a garage, and straightforward access to High Road shops, local schools and Benfleet station (about half a mile). The property is chain free, which can speed up completion for a buyer ready to move.
The house requires modernisation throughout; fixtures and finishes are dated and the EPC rating is D. The accommodation currently provides one shower room and a separate WC, so households wanting more contemporary bathroom arrangements should allow for upgrading. The woodland parcel carries a covenant preventing development into building plots — valuable for preserving privacy but limiting development options.
This is a clear opportunity for a family or renovation-minded buyer seeking long-term potential rather than a turnkey purchase. With its huge plot, estuary-facing aspect and convenient location, the property suits someone planning sensitive refurbishment to create a comfortable, long-lasting family home.
