Villa Road, South Benfleet, SS7 5QL

Situated in Villa Road, South Benfleet, this charming semi-detached cottage, dating back to 1886, is immaculately presented throughout and beautifully combines period character with modern comforts. The property offers two well proportioned bedrooms, two reception rooms featuring log burners, a stylish kitchen and a spacious bathroom suite. Externally, there is driveway parking to the front and a delightful 60ft rear garden, whilst previously approved plans for a double-storey extension offer exciting potential to create a three-bedroom home with an extended kitchen, utility room and downstairs cloakroom. Ideally positioned close to local shops and schools, this attractive home is perfect for buyers seeking character, charm and future potential.

Upon entering through the composite front door, you are welcomed into a well-presented hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. Oak doors lead into a cosy and beautifully decorated lounge, featuring a charming bay window with fitted shutters and a log burner that creates a warm and inviting focal point. The separate dining room is equally well presented, with a second log burner enhancing the character and appeal of this lovely period home. The dining room opens into the kitchen, which provides ample worktop space and storage, together with a door leading directly out to the rear garden.

Upstairs, there are two good sized bedrooms, both tastefully decorated, with the main bedroom benefiting from built-in storage. Completing the first floor is a spacious bathroom suite, thoughtfully designed to complement the cottage's traditional character.

The exterior continues to impress, with a driveway providing off-street parking to the front. To the rear, the approximately 60ft garden begins with a stone shingle area before opening onto a predominantly lawned garden, with a paved patio and BBQ area positioned at the far end, creating an ideal space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.

A particularly attractive feature is the potential to extend, with plans approved in 2023 for a double-storey extension that would transform the property into a three-bedroom home, incorporating an extended kitchen, utility room and downstairs cloakroom.

This delightful cottage offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire a character-filled home in a convenient South Benfleet location, with the added benefit of scope to create a larger family home in the future.
