South Street, Tillingham, Southminster

The Old Bakery is a substantial five-bedroom detached period home in Tillingham, with accommodation arranged over two floors and a flexible layout. The ground floor includes a large lounge, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, side lobby, three bedrooms and a bathroom. One ground-floor bedroom has a recessed Jacuzzi-style bath. Upstairs are two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a generous landing that could serve as an additional sitting or reading area. The property retains features including exposed timber, floorboards and beams. The kitchen has a range-style oven, fitted units and space for a breakfast table, with a separate utility room. Outside, a west-facing garden includes lawn, planted borders, seating areas and a decked terrace. A driveway provides parking, with gated access to further parking, and a two-storey barn with power and light is also included. The listing describes possible room letting or short-stay use and suggests that the barn could potentially be incorporated into the house, or that an atrium could be added, subject to the necessary consents. These options would need to be assessed for feasibility. The village has local shops, pubs, a doctors surgery and an infant school, with countryside and coastal walks nearby.
