Description

Nestled in a desirable area known for its proximity to lush woodland walks and essential local amenities, this two-bedroom bungalow offers a remarkable opportunity for those looking to personalize their living space. Available with no onward chain, the property occupies a spacious and private plot that is ripe for potential enhancements, whether through extensions (subject to planning permissions), landscaping, or simply enjoying the ample outdoor area. While the bungalow requires modernisation throughout, it presents an attractive project for buyers seeking a renovation challenge, those downsizing for single-level convenience, or investors aiming for a solid long-term investment. The layout features a central hallway that connects each room smoothly. The kitchen at the front offers external access ideal for outdoor dining and everyday use, while the second bedroom can easily be adapted as a guest room or home office. The rear of the property boasts a generous lounge/dining area that fills with natural light and overlooks the secluded garden. The main bedroom enjoys tranquility away from street noise, enhancing privacy. The bathroom is positioned conveniently and holds potential for an update to achieve a modern look. Situated within the catchment zone of Westwood Academy and The Deanes, this home is perfect for families. A brief stroll leads you to Hadleigh High Street with its array of shops and dining options. For recreation lovers, John Burrows Playground and nearby woodland are easily accessible. Commuters benefit from quick transport links to London via Leigh-on-Sea and Benfleet Stations on the C2C line, as well as easy connections to the A13. The exterior features an impressive unoverlooked garden with a well-maintained front space, private driveway, and detached garage providing ample parking and storage solutions. The expansive rear garden further adds to the possibilities for landscaping or entertaining while leaving room for future development.
