About this home
** GUIDE PRICE £425,000 - £450,000 **
Aspire are pleased to present this charming and deceptively spacious cottage style home, ideally positioned on May Avenue just a short walk from Canvey seafront, town centre and local schools.
From the moment you step inside, the home offers a warm and inviting feel, beautifully blending original character features with a modern approach. Features such as original fireplaces, a cosy log burner and stunning arched internal doors give the property a unique charm rarely found.
The accommodation is extremely versatile and generous in size throughout, with all bedrooms being comfortable doubles. The layout currently allows for a ground floor bedroom setup, with one of the reception rooms being used as a bedroom, whilst still retaining a separate lounge, making it ideal for families or multi generational living.
At the heart of the home is a beautifully presented kitchen, finished in a traditional shaker style with solid wood worktops, a range style cooker and Belfast sink. There is ample space for dining, making it a true hub of the home perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The ground floor also benefits from a very large master bathroom, fitted with a four piece suite, offering both practicality and comfort.
To the first floor, you will find two generously sized double bedrooms, a convenient W/C and a balcony accessed from the main bedroom, adding an additional feature that enhances the overall appeal. Externally, the property continues to impress with a wrap around garden, providing plenty of outdoor space and multiple usable areas. A major feature of this home is the extended accommodation, currently arranged to provide a versatile multi functional family space, including additional kitchen facilities, bedroom area and bathroom. This space offers excellent flexibility for larger families, guest accommodation or home working, and must be viewed to fully appreciate how it can be utilised. Further benefits include a boiler approximately 6 to 7 years old and a fantastic location, with the seafront just a short walk away, making this an ideal lifestyle home. This is a truly unique property offering space, character and versatility in one of Canvey Island’s most desirable locations, and an internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate what is on offer.
