Description

Set just moments from the coast in the quiet, well-connected village of Kirby Cross, this spacious four-bedroom detached home on Peake Avenue offers the perfect balance of peaceful living and easy access to the seaside charm of Frinton-on-Sea. Less than two miles from the award-winning beach and just a short walk to Kirby Cross train station, the location is ideal for families, professionals, or anyone seeking that rare blend of comfort, space, and lifestyle.

Step inside and you’re greeted by a bright and welcoming entrance hall, finished with wood-effect flooring and elegant panelling. The ground floor flows naturally from room to room, with a generously sized living room at the rear of the home opening directly onto the garden through sliding doors, perfect for indoor-outdoor living during the summer months. A fireplace adds warmth and character, while the adjoining dining room and separate study offer versatile spaces for entertaining, working from home, or creating a playroom or snug.

The kitchen is a practical and inviting hub of the home, with traditional cabinetry, built-in appliances, and a large window that fills the space with light. A separate utility room keeps laundry tucked away and provides direct access to the rear garden — ideal for muddy boots or family pets. There's also a downstairs cloakroom, adding convenience to everyday living.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four bedrooms, two of which feature their own private en-suite shower rooms and built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom benefits from a calm, neutral décor and the first of two ensuite shower rooms with the second bedroom also having another ensuite. The remaining bedrooms are bright and versatile, ideal for children, guests, or additional home office space. A family bathroom with bath and overhead shower serves the rest of the upstairs, finished with charming tiling and plenty of natural light.

Outside, the home is set back from the road behind mature hedging, with off-street parking for two cars and a double-length garage that offers excellent storage or potential for conversion, subject to planning. The rear garden is safe and private — mainly laid to lawn with a paved patio area that’s perfect for outdoor dining. There’s ample space for play equipment, and the mature planting around the borders adds a touch of seclusion.

What truly sets this home apart is its location. Frinton-on-Sea, with its pristine beach, independent shops, and relaxed, timeless atmosphere, is just a short drive or a three-minute train journey away. You can enjoy long walks along the Greensward, dip your toes in the sea, or grab a coffee from one of the town’s many local cafés. Closer to home, you’ll find a range of local amenities including a Tesco Express, pharmacy, and GP surgery — all within walking distance.

If you're looking for a well-kept, spacious home with flexible living space and a lifestyle that puts the coast within easy reach, this Peake Avenue property deserves your attention. It’s the kind of home that adapts to you, whether that’s growing with a family, accommodating guests, or offering space to breathe in a truly lovely part of Essex.
