Featuring four spacious double bedrooms and two bathrooms, the property is designed with an expansive open-plan layout that encourages both leisurely living and entertaining. The ground floor presents an inviting entrance hall leading to flexible living spaces, including a generous lounge and adjoining sitting/dining area. Large sliding doors provide options for creating distinct zones or combining areas for larger gatherings. The kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped and offers views of the garden, enhancing its appeal as a central hub for family activities. Notably, there is an integral garage accessible from the hallway, providing excellent prospects for conversion into additional living space or even a self-contained annexe, subject to relevant permissions. On the first floor, each of the four bedrooms is well-sized and captures unique aspects of the surrounding landscape. Bedrooms 2 and 3 overlook the beautifully landscaped garden, while the front-facing rooms offer serene views of open farmland—an appealing feature not often available in residential properties.

The property is set on an expansive double-width garden plot featuring a thoughtfully crafted rear garden complete with diverse planting, mature borders, and hardscaped areas ideal for outdoor enjoyment. A koi pond adds tranquility, while practical features such as a BBQ area and pergola enhance its functionality as an outdoor retreat. Situated in Barling Magna—a charming semi-rural village—the location strikes a balance between peaceful living and easy access to amenities. The property faces expansive farmland, affording breathtaking countryside views while being within reach of local shops in Great Wakering and Thorpe Bay. Commuters will appreciate nearby train links to London Fenchurch Street from Thorpe Bay Station and access to London Liverpool Street via Rochford Station. Additionally, Southend’s vibrant coastal attractions are just a short drive away. In summary, this property not only presents immediate livability but also significant potential for future enhancement in both comfort and value—making it an attractive opportunity for renovation-minded buyers seeking a place to call home or invest in long-term growth.
