This substantial Edwardian family residence, available for the first time in fifty years, presents an exciting opportunity for renovation in a highly sought-after area of Thorpe Bay. Built in 1913, this impressive property boasts six bedrooms and three reception rooms spread over three floors, making it ideal for families or investors looking to create a unique home.
Nestled in the desirable Burges Estate, characterized by its distinctive shell-aggregate exterior and tree-lined streets, this house is just a short stroll from the picturesque seafront. The exterior has recently been refreshed, while the gardens are well-maintained and offer a pleasant outdoor space. Internally, however, there is scope for modernisation and personal touches to transform this property into a contemporary family home.
The interior features include a welcoming entrance hall with an original bay window and grand staircase leading to a stained-glass landing. The ground floor comprises a lounge that opens onto the south-facing garden via patio doors, an ample dining room suitable for gatherings, and a kitchen with a central island and its own dining area that also provides access to the garden. A utility room and cloakroom enhance functionality on this level.
On the first floor are four generous double bedrooms; the principal suite enjoys an en-suite shower room while another bedroom opens onto a south-facing balcony with views of the estuary. The family bathroom showcases classic features like a roll-top bath alongside a separate shower.
The second floor offers flexibility with two spacious double bedrooms and an additional single room that could be easily converted into another bathroom, creating an inviting top-floor suite.
The rear garden is notably south-facing and sunny throughout the day, laid to lawn with established trees providing privacy. A useful paved terrace runs along the back of the house.
Providing ample parking options with both a detached garage accessible from the front and rear along with space on the broad driveway for multiple vehicles makes this home undeniably practical. This residence stands as not only a well-loved family home but also as an enticing project ready for modernisation in one of Thorpe Bay's prime locations.
