5 Western Road, Benfleet

A great first buy if you want a private garden and to own Freehold - so your own space AND no service charges. It's such an interesting house with a real cottage feel about it. With good sized rooms downstairs, great for entertaining in the bright kitchen/diner, and equally in the 15'10 lounge which opens out to the private garden. With the additional bonus here of a downstairs WC, and not forgetting externally there is off road parking for 1 -2 cars - all so convenient for modern living.  

Upstairs you'll find a large double room, with a smaller room to the back - probably best suited as a study or nursery, and also a bathroom to the back.

The vendors have undertaken some internal works to a leak within the property which is now resolved, fitted some new flooring and replaced the windows and doors in 2023.

This great spot is well placed for local walks - with good outdoor space on your doorstep you feel that you are in a semi-rural location. Within minutes you are deep in the woods, or by the sea, but also have great easy access to A127 and A13 so can be in major towns or at train stations for London travel in a short trip. Add to that lovely local towns of Hadleigh, Leigh and Rayleigh all being nearby, it adds up to a great, and popular location.

The property is offered Freehold, with vendors already seeking their onward purchase and solicitors in place.
