Interior

The ground floor offers generous, flexible living space designed around family life. A spacious entrance hall leads to a dedicated study, ideal for home working or a playroom, while the main living room features a fireplace and glazed doors opening into the dining room. The dining area enjoys direct access to the garden, creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen is fitted with sleek white cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces and integrated appliances, complemented by a separate breakfast room and practical utility room, where a new water softener has recently been installed. A ground floor shower room adds further convenience. Upstairs, four good-sized bedrooms are arranged around a bright landing, offering excellent flexibility for children, guests or additional workspace. A contemporary shower room with grey tiling and a generous glazed enclosure completes the first floor.

Exterior

The outside space has the proportions a family home of this size deserves. To the front, a block-paved driveway provides off-street parking alongside an area of lawn and established planting. Gated side access leads through to a generous rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn with mature borders and planting creating an established green setting. A patio area provides a natural spot for barbecues and summer dining, while the summerhouse and separate storage shed add useful space for hobbies, garden equipment or outdoor storage. There remains ample lawn for children, pets and everyday family life. The property's earlier particulars also record its landscaped garden, summerhouse and driveway parking.

Location

Collins Way is set within Eastwood’s popular Astronauts Estate, a quiet residential area known for its family-friendly feel and excellent access to local amenities. Morrisons on Western Approaches is within easy reach, while Scotts Park, Snakes Lane Playing Field and the Len Forge Centre provide plenty of options for green space, sport and recreation. David Lloyd Southend is also nearby, offering swimming, gym facilities, tennis, padel and children’s activities. Rayleigh Road provides a good selection of local shops, food outlets and everyday services, while the A127 is easily accessible for journeys across South Essex and beyond. With schools, parks, leisure facilities and shopping all close by, the area is particularly well suited to convenient family life.

School Catchments

For families, 125 Collins Way falls within the Southend-on-Sea City Council catchment areas for Heycroft Primary School and The Eastwood Academy. The council's current catchment directory specifically identifies Collins Way numbers 87 to 137, including number 125, for these two schools. Heycroft Primary is approximately 0.4 miles away and The Eastwood Academy around 0.5 miles away, while Eastwood Primary School & Nursery is also within roughly half a mile as another nearby schooling option, subject to its own admissions criteria. Buyers should confirm current admission arrangements directly with the schools or local authority, as catchment residence does not guarantee a place.
