Arranged over three levels, this character home offers ample living space with three generously sized reception rooms.

The property's vast south-facing garden is walled on all sides, ensuring privacy while presenting an opportunity for landscaping or expansion. The large garage adds considerable value and convenience, providing extra storage or workspace options. Located near local shops, golf and tennis clubs, as well as a mainline railway station with quick connections to London Fenchurch Street (under an hour), this home combines accessibility with suburban tranquility—an attractive prospect for future owners or investors aiming to capitalize on its renovation potential.
