About this home

GUIDE PRICE - £400,000 - £425,000

Occupying an impressive corner plot, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create a superb family home. With generous living accommodation, a substantial plot and excellent scope for improvement, this property is ideal for those wishing to modernise and add value.

A particular highlight is the generous wrap-around rear and side garden, providing an abundance of outdoor space for families, entertaining and future development potential, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Complementing the plot is a detached double garage and a large driveway offering off-street parking for multiple vehicles, making the property particularly appealing to growing families, car enthusiasts or those requiring additional storage or workspace.

Internally, the accommodation is spacious and well-proportioned throughout, offering flexible living arrangements with excellent potential to remodel or extend to suit individual requirements, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Further enhancing the property's appeal, the current owners have made enquiries which indicate that, subject to the necessary planning permissions, the detached double garage may be suitable for conversion into self-contained annexe or granny accommodation. In addition, there is potential for the construction of a separate two-bedroom dwelling on the plot should the garage be removed, again subject to obtaining the relevant planning permission. These possibilities offer exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, investment or future development.

Conveniently situated close to a wide range of local amenities, including shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday conveniences, the property also falls within the catchment area of several well-regarded schools, including Thundersley Primary School, Kingston Primary School, Cedar Hall School, The King John School and USP College.

Excellent transport links are readily available, with nearby bus routes and easy access to both the A127 and A13, providing convenient connections into London and the surrounding areas.

Properties occupying plots of this size and offering such excellent potential are becoming increasingly rare. With the added benefit of exciting development opportunities (subject to planning permission), early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate everything this home has to offer.
