About this home

Situated within the highly sought-after Burges Estate in Thorpe Bay, this substantial two double bedroom detached bungalow offers generous and versatile accommodation, a beautifully extended kitchen/dining room and an excellent garden with additional outbuildings. A spacious paved driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, alongside an attached garage, while the property is offered with no onward chain.

Tenure: Freehold Council Tax Band: E

Interior 1 The accommodation begins with an entrance hall leading to two generously sized double bedrooms. The spacious principal bedroom benefits from its own walk-in wardrobe and dressing room, together with an en-suite bathroom featuring a striking free-standing bath.

The second bedroom is also a comfortable double, while an additional flexible room could be used as a home study, storage area or an extension of the utility space. A separate shower room and neighbouring WC provide further practicality.

Interior 2 A separate living room creates a cosy retreat away from the main entertaining space, ideal as a snug or more formal lounge.

At the heart of the bungalow is the impressive extended kitchen/dining room. Finished with quartz worktops, fully integrated appliances, a wine fridge and a central breakfast bar, the kitchen combines contemporary styling with excellent functionality. The dining area sits beneath a vaulted ceiling at the rear of the property, with bi-folding doors opening directly onto the garden and creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Exterior The front of the property features an extensive paved driveway offering off-street parking for several vehicles, with a garage positioned alongside the bungalow.

To the rear is a private garden designed for both entertaining and relaxation. A spacious patio incorporates fitted seating, while a summerhouse provides an additional place to unwind. A further detached outbuilding offers excellent potential for conversion into a dedicated home office, studio or hobby room, subject to any necessary consents. The garden also provides direct access into the garage.

Location The bungalow occupies a desirable position within the Burges Estate, placing Thorpe Bay’s key amenities within easy reach. Thorpe Bay Broadway, with its selection of independent shops, cafés and everyday services, is just a short walk away, as is Thorpe Bay railway station for direct services towards London Fenchurch Street.

Thorpe Bay seafront and the Esplanade are also nearby, offering coastal walks, open views and easy access to the area’s popular beachside lifestyle. Offered with no onward chain, this is an excellent opportunity to secure a spacious detached home in one of Thorpe Bay’s most established residential locations.
