Blake Close, Lawford, CO11

Set within the well regarded Lawford Dale development, this two bedroom semi detached home sits in a quiet no through road at the top of Blake Close, enjoying a slightly elevated position within the Stour valley and excellent day to day convenience. Manningtree station is within walking distance, offering direct mainline services to London Liverpool Street in under an hour, while local primary and secondary schooling and the historic Manningtree High Street are all close at hand.

The house is approached via a block paved frontage with off street parking, leading to a neat entrance hall entered through a uPVC front door. Tiled flooring provides a practical first impression, with the bathroom immediately to the right and the living accommodation opening to the left. The bathroom is fully tiled in white and fitted with a panelled bath and folding shower screen, mixer shower, vanity basin, WC, heated towel rail and opaque front facing window, giving a clean, modern feel.

The living room stretches from front to back and works well as a central hub of the home. A front facing window draws in natural light, while sliding patio doors at the rear open directly onto the garden, extending the space outdoors in warmer months. The room is carpeted and includes the staircase rising to the first floor, along with internal doors leading to the kitchen and the second bedroom, creating a flexible layout that suits a range of uses.

The kitchen is positioned to the side of the property and finished with grey fronted base units and matching wall cabinets, soft closing doors, roll top work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. A stainless steel sink with mixer tap sits below a side window, and the layout makes efficient use of the space while remaining practical for everyday cooking.

Also on the ground floor is the second bedroom, currently well suited as a double bedroom or dining room. Carpeted and rear facing, it offers a quieter outlook and flexibility depending on lifestyle needs, whether as a guest room, home office or formal dining space.

Upstairs, the landing provides access to the main bedroom and a useful double fronted storage cupboard. The principal bedroom occupies the full width of the house and benefits from a dual aspect, allowing plenty of natural light throughout the day. A built in storage cupboard adds practicality, and there are partial elevated views across towards the River Stour, reinforcing the home’s valley setting.

Outside, the rear garden enjoys a south facing aspect and has been landscaped for low maintenance. Immediately behind the house is a paved seating area, stepping up via timber sleepers to a bark finished section, with the garden then extending around to the side where a good sized lawn and a useful shed are located. Gated side access links the front and rear, and the overall layout balances ease of upkeep with usable outdoor space.

Well placed for commuting, schooling and town amenities, and offering a flexible internal layout with modern kitchen and bathroom fittings, this home presents a strong opportunity for first time buyers, downsizers or those seeking a manageable property close to the station while still enjoying a quieter residential setting.
