For healthcare needs, Southend Hospital is conveniently located just 0.6 miles from your doorstep. Recreation options are abundant as well; Priory Park is within walking distance, providing green spaces for leisure. The property's sizeable front drive can accommodate multiple vehicles—up to six—adding further appeal for potential buyers or investors seeking rental opportunities in this popular area. With thoughtful renovations and updates, this bungalow has the potential to transform into a modern family home or rental investment in a highly sought-after location close to transport links to London via the airport's own railway station.
