Southminister

A fully refurbished high specification deceptively spacious bungalow with wonderful views over open countryside

What we think at the Zoe Napier Group

This really is a glorious, detached bungalow that has recently been refurbished to an excellent standard and is turnkey ready! The location is something to behold, offering the best of both worlds, surrounded by serene rolling countryside and yet within easy reach of numerous sailing clubs and marinas, whilst the nearby railway stations in Southminster and Burnham on Crouch will appeal to discerning commuters who require good access into London.

What the Owner Says

I have lived here for nearly forty years and have loved the tranquillity that the location offers, whilst having so many amenities within a short drive has been really useful. I will dearly miss all of my lovely neighbours and indulging in the wonderful walks amongst the stunning surrounding countryside, but the time has come to downsize and relocate to be closer to my family and allow another family to enjoy this lovely home.

History & Background

This extensively refurbished, deceptively spacious residence is believed to have originally been constructed in the 1980’s, with an extension to the front elevation constructed in the 1990’s.

The versatile accommodation could be utilised in a variety of different ways to suit the incoming buyer and includes a bright and airy entrance hall, generous sitting room with open red brick fireplace, separate dining room, well-proportioned fitted kitchen, family bathroom and three double bedrooms with the principal bedroom enjoying its own en suite shower room.

Externally the property boasts a substantial recently installed brick paved driveway offering off-street parking for numerous vehicles and a single detached garage, whilst the rear grounds are extremely secluded and facing West, allow you to enjoy the sunshine, along with some sensational sunsets.

Setting & Location

The property is set back off of Manor Road, which is accessible from the Tillingham Road within the quaint, semi – rural village of Dengie, that is situated on the Dengie peninsula, an area popular with sailing enthusiasts and those who enjoy outdoor life.

The picturesque and thriving village of Tillingham is located just under a mile away and is within easy reach of the River Blackwater and River Crouch. It has a range of amenities, including a shop, a pair of public houses with restaurants, a doctor’s surgery, primary school, various sports and social clubs and events throughout the year. Burnham-On-Crouch and nearby Southminster provide an additional selection of facilities, including a mainline railway station with frequent London links, whilst the A12 and M25 offer convenient road connections further afield. The area offers a good selection of independent schools including Maldon Court Prep, Alleyn Court Prep, Thorpe Hall, Saint Pierre, Elm Green Prep, St. Michael’s and Colchester High School.

Ground Floor Accommodation

Double UPVC entrance doors greet you as you approach the property and provide access to entrance porch, a useful space for shoes and coats and allows access to the spacious entrance hall. The dining room is situated in the rear elevation, with double doors seamlessly flowing into the sitting room, a generous, bright and airy, dual aspect room with attractive open red brick fireplace and feature French doors leading out onto the West facing sun terrace….the ultimate sanctuary to enjoy those long Summer days entertaining family and friends, whilst basking in the sun. The high specification kitchen is located centrally and offers a splendid range of recently re-fitted base and eye level units and a range of integral appliances, whilst the adjacent recently re-fitted family bathroom boasts a four-piece suite including an oversized bath. The principal bedroom is an impressive room that enjoys it’s own recently re-fitted en suite shower room, fitted double wardrobe and some breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside…. the perfect view to wake up to every day. The remaining two bedrooms are both well-proportioned double rooms.

Grounds

The property is approached via an attractive, recently installed brick paved driveway, offering ample off-street parking for numerous vehicles, and leads to a detached single garage with up and over door, power and light connected. Gated side access provides access to the rear grounds that are incredibly secluded, screened by a variety of mature hedging, mostly laid to lawn with sun terrace and facing West, allow you to bask in the sun for the majority of the day, culminating with some glorious sunsets.
