Stylish Two-Bedroom Cottage | Exclusive Over 55s Development | Move-In Ready | No Chain

Freedom. Simplicity. Security. Community, if wanted. Privacy, if not.

Set within the highly regarded Moat Croft development in Bishopsteignton (West Shoebury), this beautifully presented two-bedroom cottage offers independent, low-maintenance living in peaceful surroundings, yet within easy reach of excellent amenities.

Bright, stylish and completely move-in ready, the home benefits from fresh décor and new carpets throughout and is arranged over two floors, providing flexibility both now and for the future.

A welcoming entrance hall offers generous built-in storage and clear potential to install a ground-floor WC, as some neighbouring owners have done. To the rear, both the living room and fitted kitchen overlook the gardens, with the kitchen also providing direct access to the private patio. The separate dining room is positioned at the front of the property and offers excellent flexibility — comfortably serving as a second bedroom if required. There is also scope, as neighbouring properties have demonstrated, to create an open-plan lounge/diner should a more contemporary layout be preferred.

Upstairs, the spacious main bedroom benefits from excellent built-in storage, while the modern wet room-style bathroom is designed for ease and practicality. Additional storage cupboards are located on the landing. The staircase layout also offers ample future potential for the installation of a stairlift if ever required.

Outside, the property enjoys a pretty front garden and a private rear patio that opens onto immaculately maintained communal grounds. The development is known for its beautifully kept gardens and generous communal parking for residents and visitors.

There is further potential, subject to the usual consents, to add a conservatory to the rear — again, as some neighbouring owners have successfully done — offering scope to enhance both space and value over time.

Moat Croft is an exclusive, fully owner-occupied development for the over 55s who value independence alongside reassurance. An on-site Estate Manager and 24-hour emergency Careline system provide peace of mind, with optional social events available for those who wish to participate.

The location is exceptionally convenient — within walking distance of Thorpe Bay Broadway’s shops, cafés and C2C rail links, close to Asda and local surgeries, with Southend Hospital approximately ten minutes away by car.

Further benefits include a Vaillant boiler (approx. three years old), double glazing, EPC rating C, no ground rent payable, and the option to extend the lease to approximately 999 years or acquire a share of the freehold (subject to premium). The service charge of £250.56 per month includes building insurance, maintenance of the immaculate communal gardens, parking areas, laundry facilities and contingency provision.

Offered with no onward chain.

Homes within this development are rarely available, making this an excellent opportunity to secure a well-presented home in a sought-after and carefully managed community.
