Shoebury Road, Great Wakering, Southend on Sea, Essex, SS3 0BW

A deceptively spacious, extended, character red-brick DETACHED HOUSE, much larger than it appears from the front. Blending timeless character with sleek modern living, the property boasts high ceilings, feature fireplaces, and original charm, alongside an impressive refitted kitchen and a luxury bathroom featuring a classic roll-top bath.

With three versatile reception rooms, a dedicated utility/boot room, plus a further ground floor modern shower room/wc, this property offers a highly functional and spacious layout perfect for growing families.

Outside and to the rear of the property it opens up to a generous, established garden enjoying a sought-after westerly aspect—ideal for catching the afternoon and evening sun. Nicely secluded and screened with mature trees and shrubs, it offers a peaceful private retreat. At the bottom of the garden sits a versatile DETACHED OUTBUILDING, ready to be converted into your home office, gym, creative studio or hobby room.

Situated in the desirable village of Great Wakering, you get the best of both worlds: a tight-knit village community with independent shops and local pubs, right on the doorstep of Southend's coastal attractions. Commuters are spoilt for choice, with Shoeburyness and Thorpe Bay mainline stations just a few minutes' drive away, offering direct links into London.

Local amenities within walking distance from the house in the High Street include the award winning Indian restaurant "Mim Spice", a Co-op supermarket, two GP surgeries, a pharmacy and a Community Hall that hosts lots of classes, including Yoga.
