About this home
Offering two double bedrooms, extended living space and driveway parking for two cars, this detached bungalow combines a practical layout with a convenient location close to Canvey Island’s seafront and local amenities.
Originally built as a one-bedroom bungalow, the property has since benefited from a garage conversion to create a second double bedroom. Recent improvements include replacement doors, updated flooring and replacement window panels, alongside cosmetic work to freshen the interior.
The generous lounge/diner benefits from a rear extension, providing plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining. Double doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a lovely connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. A fitted kitchen and bathroom complete the accommodation.
Outside, the good-sized rear garden offers space to enjoy throughout the warmer months, with a decked seating area ideal for outdoor dining. Recently updated fence panels provide a smart finishing touch, while the driveway to the front accommodates two cars.
The location places everyday essentials within easy reach, with nearby High Street shops and Canvey Island town centre offering a wider choice of shopping, cafés and services. The seafront is also close by, providing opportunities for coastal walks and leisure time.
The nearest bus stops are by The Admiral Jellicoe on High Street. Leigh Beck Infant School and Nursery Academy and Leigh Beck Junior School provide nearby primary education, with Castle View School also accessible for secondary pupils. For commuters, Benfleet Station is the practical rail connection from the island, while healthcare facilities include Central Canvey Primary Care Centre on Long Road.
