What this property offers
About this property
The Property - The house is entered through an entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and access to the principal living spaces. A spacious sitting room extends from front to back, drawing natural light from both aspects and providing ample room for separate seating and family areas.
To the rear, the kitchen and dining room form the social heart of the house. Finished in a simple palette of white cabinetry and stone-effect worktops, the room enjoys garden views and opens directly onto the patio through glazed doors. Adjoining is a useful utility room, offering additional storage and laundry space, with independent access from the side of the house.
Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom sits to the front, while three further bedrooms provide flexibility for family life, guest accommodation or home working. The first floor is served by a family bathroom, while a separate shower room on the ground floor adds practicality for busy households.
The Outside - A paved terrace extends from the rear of the house, creating an easy transition between inside and out. Beyond, the garden is laid mainly to lawn and enclosed by timber fencing, providing a secure and private setting for children, pets or outdoor entertaining. A mature tree offers welcome shade and character, while gated side access connects the garden to the front of the property.
To the front, a private driveway provides off-road parking, complemented by a side gate and low-maintenance frontage.
The Area - Valley Road lies within a well-established residential area of Harwich, close to everyday amenities, schools and local services.
