Daws Heath Road, Benfleet, SS7 2TY

Guide Price £600,000 - £660,000

A four-bedroom detached bungalow in the sought-after semi-rural hamlet of Daws Heath, Benfleet, offering over 2,075 sq ft of versatile single-storey accommodation, two bathrooms, multiple reception rooms, a generous driveway, a versatile garage/workshop, and a beautifully established 90ft south-facing rear garden.

If you’ve been searching for a home that offers the space of a family house without the compromises of stairs, this substantial detached bungalow deserves your attention. Lovingly owned by the same family for the past 20 years, it offers an increasingly rare combination of generous proportions, adaptable living space and one of South Essex’s most desirable semi-rural locations.

Stepping inside, you’ll immediately appreciate the sense of space that over 2,075 sq ft provides. The principal lounge is a welcoming room centred around a characterful feature fireplace with exposed beams overhead, creating a warm focal point for everyday living. Sliding doors lead seamlessly into the conservatory, allowing natural light to flood the living space while creating the perfect setting for relaxing with views across the garden throughout the year.

The generous fitted kitchen has been designed for practical family life, offering extensive storage, excellent worktop space and plenty of room for preparing everything from weekday meals to larger family occasions. Positioned alongside the separate dining room and additional family room, the layout offers flexibility that suits modern lifestyles, whether entertaining friends, accommodating grandchildren or simply enjoying separate spaces to unwind.

The four bedrooms provide versatile accommodation that can easily adapt as your needs change. Whether you’re a growing family, looking to downsize without sacrificing space, accommodating multi-generational living or creating dedicated home office space, the layout offers flexibility rarely found in single-storey homes. Two bathrooms ensure the home functions just as well for busy households as it does for visiting family and guests.

Outside is where this home truly comes into its own.

The approximately 90ft south-facing rear garden enjoys sunshine for much of the day and provides a wonderful balance of lawn, patio and mature planting. Whether you enjoy gardening, entertaining outdoors, watching children or grandchildren play, or simply relaxing in peaceful surroundings, the garden offers space and privacy that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find.

To the front, the extensive driveway provides generous off-road parking, while the garage has been thoughtfully converted into workshop and storage space, ideal for hobbies or additional storage. Importantly, it could easily be converted back into a full garage should a future owner prefer.

Practicality continues behind the scenes, with a boiler installed approximately three years ago, providing added peace of mind for prospective buyers.

Location is often the deciding factor when choosing a home, and Daws Heath continues to be one of South Essex’s most sought-after settings. Surrounded by beautiful woodland, open countryside and nature walks, it offers the tranquillity of village life while remaining remarkably convenient. Buyers benefit from a choice of Benfleet and Rayleigh mainline railway stations, providing direct services into London Fenchurch Street and London Liverpool Street, making commuting straightforward whichever route suits your journey. Excellent road links via the A13 and A127 are also within easy reach.

Families will appreciate access to well-regarded local schools, including Hadleigh Primary School and The Deanes School, while nearby Rayleigh, Benfleet, Hadleigh and Leigh-on-Sea offer a wide selection of independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, leisure facilities and the Essex coastline just a short drive away.

Detached bungalows offering over 2,000 sq ft, generous gardens and this level of flexibility rarely become available in Daws Heath. Combining spacious accommodation, a superb south-facing plot and an enviable semi-rural lifestyle, this is a home ready for its next chapter.
