Description

This detached bungalow is situated on a spacious plot along Birchwood Drive, a well-regarded residential street in Leigh-on-Sea. The property stands out not only for its generous west-facing garden and off-street parking but also for its potential as a renovation or investment opportunity. With proximity to vibrant local amenities and transport links, this home offers both comfort and significant future possibilities. Inside, the layout is flexible and functional, centered around a welcoming hallway that connects all main living areas. At the front, the two generously sized bay-fronted bedrooms bask in natural light, with a third room that can easily adapt to suit your needs—be it as an office, guest space, or hobby area. Towards the rear of the bungalow, the living and dining rooms are inviting spaces for relaxation or entertaining, seamlessly connecting to the outdoors through direct access to the garden. The kitchen offers lovely views of the outside while maintaining convenient access to the family bathroom located off the hallway. The exterior of the property features a sizeable, private west-facing garden that enjoys sunlight throughout much of the day. Its ample space presents an excellent canvas for landscaping or possible expansion subject to planning permissions. Additionally, ample off-street parking enhances convenience while providing practical storage options. The location adds considerable appeal; Birchwood Drive is conveniently close to Leigh Broadway's eclectic mix of boutique shops, cafes, and restaurants. You will find Chalkwell C2C station nearby, providing direct train services to London Fenchurch Street—ideal for commuters. Moreover, both the scenic seafront and Old Leigh’s quaint cobbled streets are within easy reach. Notably, this bungalow falls within sought-after school catchment areas such as Darlinghurst Primary School and Belfairs Academy. This makes it an attractive prospect for families seeking quality education options alongside downsizers who prioritize community-oriented environments while having room for personal updates or investment growth.
