Set on a large plot in an affluent Benfleet neighbourhood, this six-bedroom detached house combines period character with substantial family living space. Three generous reception rooms and a conservatory create flexible entertaining zones, while a large kitchen with island, utility and pantry supports everyday family life. The property includes a gym and outbuilding with additional storage and an EV charging point on the sweeping drive.
Upstairs the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite and private balcony. Four further double/single bedrooms and a main family bathroom provide space for a growing household, though there are only two bathrooms for six bedrooms which may require adaptation for larger families. The house was built 1900–1929 with solid brick walls and assumed no cavity insulation; buyers should consider insulation and energy-efficiency improvements.
Practical positives include off-street parking, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and proximity to several well-rated primary and secondary schools. Notable drawbacks are potentially higher running costs: the council tax is described as quite expensive and the property may need modernisation in parts (boiler and radiators present but age not specified). Crime is average for the area.
This home suits buyers seeking substantial family accommodation in a well-connected, affluent community who value space, character and future improvement potential. Investors or buyers wanting a turnkey, ultra-low-maintenance property should factor likely upgrade and insulation works into their plans.
