Set on Oakleigh Park Drive in the heart of Leigh-on-Sea, this newly renovated Victorian end-of-terrace offers 1,056 sq ft of comfortable family living. Heritage features — bay windows, high ceilings and original wood floors — combine with a contemporary open-plan kitchen, underfloor heating and bi-fold doors that open to a west-facing garden and terrace. The property is freehold and located in an affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The ground floor centres on a bright family room and bespoke kitchen with integrated appliances, a pantry/utility and a cloakroom. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom with underfloor heating; the third bedroom opens onto a small balcony. Practical details include a small plot size and only one bathroom, which may be a consideration for larger households.
The home has been sensitively updated inside but the exterior retains period brickwork and chimneys; the façade and external elements would benefit from modernization and routine maintenance. Local amenities, strong schools (including two outstanding grammar schools nearby), parks and the seafront are within easy reach, making this a convenient choice for families seeking character combined with modern living.
Guide price £550,000–£600,000. This house will suit buyers who want a central Leigh-on-Sea location with period character and contemporary interiors, and who are comfortable addressing external refurbishment and the practicalities of a single bathroom for a three-bedroom family home.
