Firs Road, West Mersea

Situated on a generous corner plot in one of West Mersea's most desirable residential roads, this deceptively spacious chalet bungalow offers flexible accommodation, excellent parking and a wonderful coastal lifestyle just moments from the waterfront.

Some More Information - Set back behind a mature laurel hedge, the property is approached via a pathway leading to the entrance door and into a welcoming entrance hall, where stairs rise to the first floor and a door opens into the principal living room.
The generous living room is centred around an attractive fireplace and enjoys a pleasant outlook to the front, whilst sliding patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. From here, a doorway leads through to the dining room, currently arranged as a home office, demonstrating the flexibility of the accommodation. This versatile room enjoys a window to the side elevation, access to the inner hallway and an opening through to the kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of eye and base level cupboards and drawers beneath rolled edge work surfaces, with a window overlooking the rear garden. A door leads through to the conservatory-style utility room, providing additional storage and laundry space, with direct access out to the garden.
Returning to the inner hallway, doors lead to two further ground floor rooms. One is currently utilised as a dining room but would equally make an excellent double bedroom, featuring windows to both the front and side elevations. The second is a well-proportioned bedroom overlooking the front of the property. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the family bathroom, fitted with a panel enclosed bath with shower over, low level W.C. and pedestal wash hand basin. The room is fully tiled and benefits from a window to the side elevation.
Upstairs, the accommodation continues with two further bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a window to the front elevation together with a Velux roof light, creating a bright and airy feel. Across the landing, the fourth bedroom also benefits from a Velux roof light and leads through to a useful dressing area, which in turn provides access to a generous loft storage cupboard. Completing the first floor is a well-appointed shower room, comprising a fully tiled shower enclosure, low level W.C., wash hand basin and Velux roof light.

Externally - Occupying a generous corner plot, the property enjoys wraparound gardens together with the rare advantage of two separate driveways, offering excellent versatility for a variety of buyers.
The principal driveway provides off street parking for two vehicles and leads to a sectional concrete garage, complete with power, an up and over door and gated access through to the rear garden. A second gated driveway, accessed via side hung timber gates, provides an ideal space for securely storing a boat, trailer, caravan or motorhome, making the property particularly well suited to those looking to embrace West Mersea's renowned sailing and coastal lifestyle.
An opening through the mature laurel hedge leads into the front and side gardens, where a pathway wraps around the property to the rear.
The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and offers a pleasant outdoor space to relax or entertain, with a covered patio immediately adjoining the property providing an ideal seating area throughout the warmer months. The garden is enclosed by timber panel fencing and established hedging, creating a good degree of privacy, whilst a selection of timber sheds and a summer house, positioned on a raised decked area, offer useful storage and additional outdoor enjoyment.
