Tucked into the heart of the highly desirable Summers Park Avenue in Lawford, this beautifully designed three-bedroom link-detached home delivers the perfect blend of modern comfort, intelligent design, and exceptional connectivity. Just a short, true walking distance from Manningtree’s mainline station, it presents an ideal opportunity for commuters, families, and anyone seeking a low-maintenance, high-specification lifestyle in a semi-rural setting.

Built in 2016 by the reputable Rose Builders and benefitting from the remainder of its NHBC Buildmark warranty until September 2026, this energy-efficient home (EPC B) is as practical as it is attractive. The property features underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, a mechanical heat recovery ventilation system for clean air circulation, and Cat 5e cabling in every room—delivering ultra-fast wired internet with speeds of up to 1600 Mbps. From its handsome red brick façade and pitched tiled roof to the serene, landscaped rear garden, this home has been crafted with care and style.

Step inside and you’re greeted by a welcoming entrance hall, where natural light streams through the glazed front door and the wood-effect flooring sets a contemporary tone. To the right, the lounge and dining room stretch the full depth of the home, offering a tranquil, dual-aspect space with French doors to the garden, a feature fireplace with timber mantel, and soft neutral decor that makes relaxing effortless. Across the hall, the kitchen/breakfast room is the showstopper. Finished in soft sage shaker cabinetry with white metro tiling and stone-effect surfaces, it’s a space built for both everyday life and entertaining. At its heart sits a stunning (mobile) marble-topped island while Neff appliances, including twin ovens and a five-burner gas hob, elevate the cooking experience. Bifold doors open fully to the south-facing garden, creating a seamless flow between inside and out.

Upstairs, the galleried landing provides a bright and spacious link to the three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys a private ensuite shower room, dual aspect views, two built-in wardrobes, and a bold yet calming aesthetic with a striking blue feature wall. The second and third bedrooms are generously sized, one boasting a mirrored wardrobe and wide street-facing window, the other currently arranged as a home office with built-in storage and ample versatility.

The family bathroom is finished in a contemporary palette, with sleek tiling, a full-size bath with shower, and a clean modern suite. Downstairs, a stylish cloakroom and multiple storage options further enhance the home’s practicality.

Outside, the front of the property is elegantly landscaped with mature hedging, a central storm porch, and an attractive, symmetrical elevation. To the side, a private driveway offers parking for three cars and leads to a detached garage, measuring over 5.6m in length—ideal for secure storage or workshop use. The rear garden is fully paved for minimal upkeep, with distinct areas for seating, dining, and relaxing under a bespoke canopy. South-facing and bathed in sunlight, it’s a space that invites calm mornings and sociable evenings alike.

Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. Summers Park Avenue offers a peaceful setting close to village amenities, excellent schools, and spectacular countryside. Highfields Primary and Lawford C of E Primary are both within walking distance, while older students are served by the popular Manningtree High School. For commuters, Manningtree station provides direct trains to London Liverpool Street in under an hour, and road access to the A12 ensures flexibility by car. Beyond the practicalities, the area is enriched by local charm, with Dedham Vale, Constable Country, and Alton Water all within easy reach for weekend walks or outdoor adventures.

With a compelling balance of style, space, technology, and lifestyle appeal, this contemporary home on Summers Park Avenue delivers far more than just bricks and mortar—it offers a fresh start in one of North Essex’s most desirable neighbourhoods. Early viewing is highly recommended.
