Description

Positioned along the highly desirable Shipwrights Drive, this beautifully refurbished detached residence spans approximately 2,800sq ft and delivers an exceptional mix of style, seclusion, and tremendous potential for development. With direct access to the peaceful surroundings of Shipwrights Woods and Thundersley Glen, the home features four well-proportioned double bedrooms, three bathrooms, and versatile accommodation throughout — all offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

The ground floor opens with an inviting entrance porch leading through to a spacious lounge and a high-spec fitted kitchen, which flows effortlessly into an impressive vaulted family space. Expansive floor-to-ceiling, heat-reflective glazing allows natural light to pour in while framing uninterrupted views across the west-facing garden.

A further reception room provides the option of a fourth ground-floor bedroom, home office, or additional living area.
