Over 1,060 Sq Ft, A 63ft Established Garden

And Far More Potential Than “Two-Bedroom Bungalow” Suggests

Look beyond the décor and this substantial detached bungalow starts to become very interesting.

Offering approximately 98.9 sq m / 1,064.5 sq ft of accommodation, excluding the car port, the property combines generous room proportions, flexible living space, a substantial established garden, workshop, car port and plenty of parking.

The interiors are ready for comprehensive modernisation. But the things that are much harder to create

are already here.

Two Bedrooms Today

But Look At The Floorplan

The bungalow is currently arranged with two bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom measuring approximately 14'7" x 11'.

But there's considerably more space here than the bedroom count initially suggests.

The current dining room measures approximately 13'5" x 12'3" and offers potential to be reconfigured to create a substantial third bedroom. Alterations to the existing layout would be required and any changes would be subject to the necessary requirements and consents.

Importantly, that wouldn't mean sacrificing the property's only living space. There is still the separate 14'7" living room with curved bay window and the 12'5" x 13'9" sun room, complete with underfloor heating and access towards the garden.

Add a separate study, kitchen and utility room and this becomes a genuinely flexible footprint.

This isn't about squeezing a third bedroom into a small bungalow. It's about deciding how you want to use more than 1,060 sq ft that's already here.

A Garden That's Been Years In The Making

The rear garden extends to approximately 63ft x 31ft and has a northerly aspect.

Rather than a newly landscaped rectangle of lawn, this is a genuinely established garden developed over many years, with mature fruiting plants and trees including raspberry, blackberry, walnut, damson, plum, cherry and almond.

For anyone interested in gardening or growing their own, there's a considerable head start. For everyone else, it's simply a mature outdoor space with character and plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining, children, pets or simply somewhere peaceful to sit.

Towards the rear is a substantial workshop/outbuilding, providing valuable additional space for hobbies, tools, bikes, gardening equipment or storage.

Parking & Frontage

The bungalow sits well back from the road behind a substantial frontage.

There is generous existing off-street parking, together with an 18'9" x 10'6" car port. The driveway comfortably accommodates two vehicles and may accommodate a third smaller vehicle depending on size.

The front garden may also offer potential for further parking, subject to the necessary permissions and approval for any additional or altered vehicle crossover.

More Than Meets The Eye

While the interiors are ready for updating, several useful improvements are already in place.

The property benefits from a combination boiler approximately seven years old, underfloor heating within the sun room and an insulated loft with approximately 250mm insulation, partial boarding, an electrical socket and pull-down wooden staircase.

The solar PV panels are owned outright, were commissioned in February 2015 and have a transferable Feed-in Tariff arrangement through Scottish Power. The vendor advises that payments have been approximately £300 per annum; prospective purchasers should verify the tariff documentation and payments.

Everyday Life Close By

Local amenities are within easy walking distance, including a pharmacy, convenience store, GP surgery, café, barber and takeaways.

For green space, Blenheim Park and Belfairs Park are nearby, providing convenient options for walking, exercise and dog walking.

Families have a range of schooling options in the surrounding area, including Blenheim Primary and Belfairs Academy, while the selective Westcliff High School for Boys and Westcliff High School for Girls are also nearby. School admissions and designated areas should always be independently checked.

Bus connections are available close to the property, while Leigh-on-Sea railway station provides direct c2c services towards London Fenchurch Street (47min).

Leigh's wider lifestyle is also within easy reach, from independent shops and cafés to restaurants, Old Leigh, the seafront and waterfront walks.

The Opportunity

If you're looking for a bungalow where somebody else has already chosen the kitchen, bathroom, flooring and décor, there are more finished options.

But those things can all be changed.

What is considerably harder to create is a detached bungalow of more than 1,060 sq ft, with generous parking, a car port, substantial workshop and established 63ft garden.

Those fundamentals are already here.

The next chapter is for somebody else to create.

The property is currently arranged as two bedrooms. References to alternative configurations are illustrative and prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves regarding feasibility and any consents or regulations required.
