A charming property that appears quaint from the front but reveals a deceptively large interior, this three-bedroom detached house spans three floors and could be the perfect match for you. Located in South Benfleet, it falls within the catchment areas for both South Benfleet Primary and King John Senior School, making this home ideal for a couple looking to start or expand their family. In terms of location, it is within walking distance of Benfleet Train Station, from which you can catch a train to London Fenchurch Street in under an hour. Bus routes provide convenient access to the town centres of both Southend and Basildon. Nearby, a selection of restaurants, particularly Gamberos, the local Italian, are highly favoured by the locals. Just at the top of the road, you'll find walking routes through Hadleigh Downs, leading you to Hadleigh Castle, showcasing some of Benfleet's finest historical treasures.

Ground Floor

When enetering the ground floor, you are welcomed by a pleasant hallway. To the left, there is a comfortable lounge featuring a large bay window that fills the room with natural light, creating a relaxed setting. Continuing through the hallway, you enter the dining area, designed for both comfort and practicality, with enough space for family dining or hosting guests. This area leads into the kitchen, brightened by rear windows, making it a lively spot for cooking and conversation. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility space, neatly arranged for your appliances, with easy access to a downstairs shower room. This level, with its efficient layout and homely feel, adds to the appeal of the property.

First Floor

Ascending to the first floor, you arrive on a landing that introduces you to the main bedroom, which stretches impressively along the entire front length of the house. This room is notably bright and airy, with a cleverly integrated small storage space over the stairs. Towards the rear, the second bedroom offers a generous double space, ideally suited for sharing or as a teenager's retreat. Conveniently accessible from the landing is a W.C., which was once the main bathroom. Notably, an additional set of stairs has been installed here, providing direct access to the third bedroom on the next level.

Second Floor

On the second floor, the loft conversion, completed since the current owners moved in, presents a fantastic addition to the property. With approved planning, the new staircase leads up to a third bedroom. This space is ideal for a child seeking their own area, separate from the rest of the household. It offers versatility, easily adaptable as a playroom or a retreat for relaxation. The vendors have intelligently maximized the landing area, ingeniously fitting in a compact office space in one corner. This efficient use of space provides a practical solution for work or study needs, making the most of the floor's layout.

Exterior

The exterior of the property offers a well-appointed space, beginning with off-street parking capable of accommodating three vehicles at the front. A side gate provides secure access to the rear, where a spacious, paved seating area awaits, perfect for summer entertaining. A pathway leads you towards the garden's rear, culminating at a useful storage shed. The garden itself is generously sized, making it an ideal haven for gardening enthusiasts. Additionally, its south-facing aspect ensures ample sunlight for those who love the sun.
