PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Gilbert & Rose are delighted to present this impressive four-bedroom semi-detached residence, enviably positioned within the ever-popular Kingswood area. Offering spacious and versatile accommodation throughout, this beautifully maintained home has been thoughtfully arranged to suit modern family life whilst providing superb indoor and outdoor entertaining space.

The property enjoys an enviable location within easy walking distance of both Basildon Golf Course and Club Kingswood, whilst benefiting from excellent access to local shops, highly regarded schools and convenient bus routes. Basildon Railway Station is approximately 0.7 miles away, providing direct C2C services into London Fenchurch Street, whilst the nearby A13 and A127 offer excellent road links for commuters.

Upon entering, a welcoming porch leads into the heart of the home, where the spacious lounge immediately impresses. Measuring an impressive 20'4" x 18'8" at its widest points, this beautifully proportioned living space is flooded with natural light courtesy of a large front-facing bay window. A feature fireplace creates an attractive focal point, whilst the generous layout comfortably accommodates both family living and social gatherings.

The dining room is equally impressive and has been designed with entertaining in mind. Flooded with natural light from a skylight, patio doors and a glazed side door, this superb space creates a seamless connection between the home and garden, making it ideal for hosting family and friends throughout the year.

The well-appointed kitchen offers ample worktop and storage space, creating a practical and functional environment for everyday cooking. Complementing the kitchen is a useful pantry/utility room, providing additional storage and appliance space whilst helping to maintain a clutter-free living environment.

Adding further versatility to the ground floor is an additional reception room or fourth bedroom. This adaptable space could easily serve as a guest bedroom, home office, playroom, snug or hobby room depending on a buyer's individual requirements.

The first floor continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is generously sized and benefits from fitted wardrobes whilst still offering ample space for additional furniture. Bedroom two is another excellent double room, whilst bedroom three also features fitted wardrobes and would make an ideal child's bedroom, nursery or home office.

Completing the first floor is a modern shower room alongside a separate W/C, providing added convenience for busy family households.

Externally, the property truly comes into its own. The large south-east-facing rear garden has been designed to maximise enjoyment and entertainment. A stylish pergola, dedicated barbecue area and sheltered hot tub space complete with outdoor television create a fantastic outdoor lifestyle setting that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.

A substantial outbuilding provides additional flexibility and could be utilised as storage, a workshop, gym, games room or home office, subject to requirements.

Further enhancing the home's appeal is a high-quality solar PV system, helping to significantly reduce household running costs and improve overall energy efficiency.

To the front, the property benefits from a generous driveway providing off-street parking for up to four vehicles.

Combining spacious accommodation, versatile living space, superb entertaining facilities and a highly desirable Kingswood location, this outstanding family home offers a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a property that is ready to move into and enjoy from day one.

A fantastic family home offering the perfect blend of space, practicality and lifestyle, with exceptional indoor and outdoor entertaining areas in one of Kingswood's most desirable locations.
