This extended, fully renovated semi‑detached bungalow on a quiet, tree‑lined road in Leigh‑on‑Sea offers single‑storey living with three true double bedrooms and a flexible open-plan kitchen family room. The bright, modern kitchen opens through French doors to a landscaped rear garden with two patios — a low‑maintenance layout that will suit families, downsizers or anyone seeking accessible, comfortable accommodation close to green space.
Practical strengths include abundant off-road parking (driveway space for up to four large vehicles) and a detached garage with power and lighting, plus an outside utility room. The property benefits from recent upgrades: new combination heating system, insulated loft (half-boarded), double glazing, contemporary bathroom and en‑suite fittings, and external silicone rendering with new soffits and fascias.
Buyers should note the bungalow’s interior is compact at about 614 sq ft — rooms are well planned but overall living space is modest compared with two‑storey houses. The original solid brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which may mean higher running costs unless secondary/retrofit insulation is considered. The surrounding area shows some local deprivation metrics despite being in a comfortable, family‑orientated neighbourhood with good schools and easy access to Belfairs Woods and major bus routes.
Overall this is a tidy, move‑in ready home that balances contemporary finishes and outdoor amenity with realistic limits on internal floor area. It will appeal most to families wanting one‑level living, purchasers seeking low‑maintenance gardens and generous parking, or investors targeting a reliable rental in a well‑connected suburb.
