Blackshots Lane, Grays, RM16

GUIDE PRICE £550,000 TO £575,000 – Spacious Two-Bedroom Detached Bungalow with amazing expansion potential

Positioned on the highly sought-after Blackshots Lane, this charming and deceptively spacious two-bedroom detached bungalow presents a wonderful opportunity for buyers looking for a home with character, space, and excellent scope to develop further. Sitting on a generous plot, the property already offers impressive accommodation yet provides ample potential to extend to the side, to the rear, or even into the loft space, subject to planning consent, making it an attractive prospect for families and those keen to add value.

The location is perfectly suited for family living, with a primary school just a five-minute walk away and a secondary school within twenty minutes on foot. Blackshots Leisure Centre and the wide-open spaces of King George’s playing fields are just a short stroll, offering excellent recreational opportunities. Grays itself is extremely well connected, with a bustling high street close at hand, Lakeside Shopping Centre only a short drive away, and superb road links via the A13, A127 and M25 for commuting further afield.

The property has been recently redecorated in parts and is approached via a block-paved driveway which provides off-street parking for up to three or four vehicles. On entering the home, you are welcomed by an inviting L-shaped hallway which leads to the main reception areas. The spacious through lounge is an impressive room, flooded with natural light thanks to large bay windows at both the front and side. This area is finished in a neutral décor and provides ample room for both living and dining furniture. Part of this room could be separated to create a third bedroom, and with the proportions on offer, this could easily be done if required.

From the lounge, double doors open into a wonderful conservatory, a real highlight of the home, with its beautiful skylight lantern ceiling and French doors opening directly onto the garden, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of wall and base units, an integrated oven and hob, and provision for further appliances. A window overlooking the garden and a side door provide both natural light and convenient access.

The bungalow offers two double bedrooms. The master bedroom, located at the front of the property, features a striking bay window together with fitted wardrobes and bedroom furniture, making excellent use of the space. The second bedroom, set to the rear, enjoys views over the garden and would make an ideal guest room or children’s bedroom, though it does require some finishing touches of decoration. Serving both rooms is a modern and contemporary shower room, fitted with a sleek walk-in shower, circular sink unit and WC, finished with a side window for ventilation and natural light. The large loft space is partially boarded with Velux window.

The outside space is where this property really comes into its own. The rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to create distinct areas, offering both practicality and visual appeal. To the immediate rear, there is a section of ornate paving and an artificial lawn, perfect for low-maintenance living, complemented by a raised patio seating area ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. To the side of the bungalow is a sunken area with a further patio, artificial lawn, and a further summer house, as well as convenient side access. Towards the rear boundary of the garden stands a substantial garage measuring approximately 4 metres by 3 metres, which benefits from its own driveway access to the side of the property. Adjacent to this is an impressive timber summer house, cleverly designed with two storage rooms and access from the rear, adding both practicality and versatility to the outdoor space.

Altogether, this is a superbly located and versatile home that would suit a wide range of buyers. With its spacious rooms, beautifully landscaped garden, and huge potential for further development, it is equally well suited as a long-term family residence or as a peaceful and manageable retirement property.
