Brunswick Gardens, Mistley, CO11

A rare opportunity to acquire a lovely modern bungalow on a small, quiet development, on a no through road with no onward chain. Built less than a decade ago, the property offers a fresh, contemporary finish and the layout benefits clearly from its thoughtful design.

Stepping through the front door, you enter a broad central hallway that sets the tone for the home’s practical, clean layout. Oak-style flooring runs throughout the hall, and a built-in airing cupboard offers smart storage, with a loft hatch overhead giving easy access above. From here, the living room and kitchen/diner lie at the rear, while the bedrooms and bathroom extend off the main hall, a layout that keeps the living and sleeping zones naturally separated yet easily accessible.

The living room is a generous south-facing reception space (approx. 4.89 m × 4.29 m) with wide French doors that flood the room with daylight. The oak-style flooring continues seamlessly from the hall, and internal French doors connect to the kitchen diner, a flow that works particularly well for entertaining or family living.

The kitchen/diner (approx. 4.89 m × 3.61 m) feels modern and efficient. A central island provides extra prep space and informal seating, while quartz-style worktops and matte wall units give a clean, contemporary look. Integrated BOSCH appliances - oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge freezer, are paired with a four-burner gas hob and stainless-steel extractor. A grey metro-tile splashback and LED downlights give the room a stylish finish. The room enjoys dual access: French doors leading onto the rear garden and a side door for everyday convenience. There’s also a washing machine (which will stay) beneath the worktop.

The first bedroom (about 3.91 m × 2.91 m) is a well-proportioned double, with a broad box-bay window that brings in light and creates extra floor or seating space. The neutral décor makes it easy to personalise, and there’s direct access from this room to a private en-suite shower room. The en-suite itself is neat and modern, with a walk-in shower, floating vanity unit and WC; a chrome heated towel rail and side window keep things light and fresh.

The second bedroom (approx. 3.92 m × 3.61 m) is a front-facing double with a wide window and a simple square layout that suits wardrobes, a desk, or additional furniture. It’s bright and clean, with plenty of floor space. The third bedroom (around 2.99 m × 2.41 m) sits at the side of the property, a room that works equally well as a home office, guest room or children’s bedroom. Neutral finishes and good natural light make it easy to adapt.

The family bathroom is finished in contemporary tiling with a full-height feature wall behind the bath, which includes an overhead shower with handheld attachment. A floating grey vanity unit keeps the space uncluttered, while a chrome heated towel rail and generous floor area add comfort and practicality.

Outside, the bungalow is complemented by generous external space. A five-bar gated driveway provides secure front access and leads to the integral garage, which is deeper than average (approximately 7.19 m × 3.25 m), ideal for a car plus storage or workshop space, and with a rear door offering handy access to the garden. The front garden is neat and low-maintenance, with lawned sections flanking the central path to the front door. A secure side gate leads around to the rear garden.

The rear garden is south-facing with an open lawn bordered by established planting for privacy. A wide paved terrace runs the full width of the back of the house, giving easy step-free access to both the living room and kitchen diner. Mature shrubs and trees soften the boundaries and create a peaceful, private feel ideal for outdoor dining, relaxing or gardening. Off-street parking space for two cars plus the garage adds further convenience.
