Swallowcliffe, Bournes Green Catchment, Shoeburyness, Essex, SS3

Overview

Step into comfort, space, and a sense of home that has been lovingly maintained since new. Perfectly positioned within a cul-de-sac in the ever-popular Bournes Green School catchment, this four-bedroom detached family home combines modern convenience with an established, welcoming feel — and is offered to the market with No Onward Chain. The property has been thoughtfully updated, with both modern Kitchen and Bathrooms installed around five years ago and Karndean flooring added within the last year. The ground floor offers a practical yet versatile layout, including a bright Living Room with a dual-fuel stove, separate Dining Room, modern fitted Kitchen, useful Utility Area and a Ground Floor Cloakroom/WC. The FOUR bedrooms provide generous accommodation for the family, including a principal bedroom with its own en-suite and a stylish family Shower Room featuring underfloor heating.

Externally

Outside, the home truly comes into its own. The south-facing rear garden enjoys the sun throughout the day and offers the perfect balance of entertaining and relaxation space, with a paved patio and timber pergola, a well-tended lawn, and a vegetable area complete with greenhouse. A timber shed, coal bunker, and apple tree add to the charm, while gated side access leads to the front of the property. The chimney flue has convenient external access for easy maintenance. To the front, a block-paved driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a detached double garage with power, lighting, fitted storage, and useful eaves space. A weatherproof John Lewis chest freezer will also remain. Blending practical modern living with a warm, family-friendly feel, this is a home that has clearly been cared for — one that’s ready to welcome its next chapter.
