Description

Nestled in the well-connected village of Lawford, this semi-detached two-bedroom home presents an excellent opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with considerable renovation potential. Offered without any onward chain, the house is ripe for modernisation throughout and could be transformed into a bespoke living space, with possibilities for extension pending necessary planning approvals. The layout includes a living room, a kitchen/diner, and a utility room on the ground floor, complemented by a bathroom. The upper level houses two spacious double bedrooms. One of the key highlights of this property is its expansive double-width plot, allowing for ample off-road parking suitable for multiple vehicles or even a caravan. The generous south-facing rear garden—approximately 93’ x 68’—provides plenty of outdoor space that can be landscaped or transformed through extensions or additional features. Additionally, the unique presence of a concrete air raid shelter in the garden adds an intriguing historical aspect to the property. Lawford enjoys convenient access to Manningtree, located just about 1 mile away, where residents can find local shops, cafes, and essential amenities. Educational needs are well catered for with nearby primary and secondary schools including Manningtree High School. Commuting is straightforward via Manningtree Railway Station (1.2 miles) offering direct services to London Liverpool Street within about 55 minutes. The property also benefits from close proximity to major roads such as the A120 and A12 connecting easily to Colchester and Ipswich. For leisure enthusiasts, there are numerous local outdoor activities available including riverside walks along the Stour Estuary and easy access to Dedham Vale — an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — perfect for scenic strolls and day trips. This property represents a rare chance to acquire a residence that not only meets immediate living needs but also offers significant potential for enhancement in a desirable location.
