As you step into the entrance hall, the sense of space is immediately apparent. A full-height glazed window beside the UPVC entrance door ensures an abundance of natural light. Carpeted stairs lead to the first floor, and a door ahead takes you into the heart of the home - a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area with a bright southerly aspect. Designed for both functionality and sociability, the kitchen is fitted with sleek white gloss units, soft-closing drawers, and a square-edged work surface with a tiled splashback. A one-and-a-half bowl sink sits beneath a large rear window, while a glazed door provides direct access to the garden. Integrated appliances include a four-ring Beko hob, an electric oven, and an extractor fan. A dedicated space for a fridge/freezer and plumbing for a washing machine offer practicality, and a neatly concealed gas-fired boiler ensures efficiency.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility room forms part of a thoughtful garage conversion, providing a highly functional space for laundry and additional storage. Matching white gloss cabinets, a stainless steel sink, and space for a tumble dryer enhance the convenience of this area. The remaining portion of the garage remains intact, offering useful storage with an up-and-over door at the front.

The dual-aspect living room is a wonderfully bright and inviting space, with large windows to the front and side elevations creating a light-filled atmosphere. This well-proportioned reception area is ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, offering a flexible layout to suit individual needs. Completing the ground floor is a convenient cloakroom, equipped with a WC, hand wash basin, heated towel rail, extractor fan, and an opaque glazed window.

Upstairs, the galleried landing enjoys a flood of natural light from the front elevation window. The first bedroom is an impressive double, featuring a large front-facing window that enhances the airy ambiance. The second bedroom, also a spacious double, mirrors this layout with a similarly generous window to the front. At the rear, the third double bedroom overlooks the garden, benefitting from a southerly aspect that maximises natural light throughout the day.

The family bathroom is a standout feature, offering exceptional space and a dual-aspect design with windows to both the side and rear elevations. This well-appointed bathroom includes a panel bath, a vanity sink, a WC, a heated towel rail, and a fully enclosed walk-in shower cubicle with a thermostatic shower tap, providing both style and functionality.

Outside the front garden is bordered by a low-level brick wall and a row of conifers, creating privacy from the road. A driveway provides off-street parking in front of the garage, while the wraparound lawn enhances the property's curb appeal. At the rear, the south-facing garden begins with a paved patio that leads to a lush lawn, bordered by mature greenery for added seclusion. An additional lawned section extends to the side, adding further to the outside space. Secure gated access on either side of the home leads back to the front garden and driveway.

Positioned for convenience, this home offers easy access to highly regarded primary and secondary schools, excellent transport links via the A120/A12, and the nearby Manningtree railway station, which provides a swift commute to London in under an hour. Manningtree’s vibrant market town atmosphere is just a short distance away, offering a variety of restaurants, independent shops, cafes, and essential amenities, including doctors, dentists, and pharmacies.
