Lansdowne Avenue, Essex, Leigh-on-Sea

Property Reference number : 936089

A Large Four-Bedroom Family Home with Character, Versatility and Future Potential. Large 7.5 m × 2.6 m powered outbuilding with private street access and previous annexe planning permission.
This traditional Edwardian-style home has high ceilings, large rooms and original restored stained-glass leaded windows. These have been sympathetically upgraded with double-glazed units, preserving the character of the property while improving comfort and energy efficiency. Both large reception rooms feature attractive fireplaces, each with its own working log-burning stove. These proportions give the property an overall spacious and airy feel and a sense of well-being, enhanced by the light emitted through the stained glass.

The property has; 3 large double bedrooms, 1 small double bedroom, 2 bathrooms, 2 large reception rooms, along with a large family kitchen. It has a small front garden/space and a rear garden with outbuildings.  ( Approximate room dimensions are listed below, and with the corresponding photographs)

The large kitchen was designed for family life and entertaining; with deep, large cupboard space, together with a dedicated baking station and its own separate oven. This allows cakes, pastries or similar to be baked separately from the main-course oven, giving better end results. It is an ideal cooking and dining space, more so for family gatherings and dinner parties.

Within the rear garden, the property has a fully insulated, powered outbuilding measuring approx. 7.5 m × 2.6 m internally. Once used to house woodworking machinery as part of the owner's occupation, it benefits from its own independent private access directly from the street, and this was the predominant reason planning permission to convert it into an annexe was formerly granted on 4 April 2018 (change of use). That permission has now expired (the owners are more than happy to discuss and help with this if you wish; initial small works were started). Ideal for practically any use, such as a home office, workshop or hobby room, or even, STPP, business use such as a home-based business or potential rental income.

At the front of the house is a small block-paved area, with the pavement level with the kerb and space for a small car or trailer. We leave it to the buyer to decide how they may wish to use this area.

The property itself has been well maintained and looked after. It is ready to live in as it is, or for the new owners to put their own stamp on it. Being our family home for more than 25 years, it has been a wonderful place to raise a family. The property lies within the catchment area of highly regarded local schools, including grammar schools, and our own three grown-up children all benefited enormously from the local 11 Plus schooling.

Situated south of London Road, right at the start of Leigh Broadway, the property enjoys one of the most desirable residential locations in Leigh-on-Sea.
Within a very short walk are:

Leigh Road and Leigh Broadway – just a few minutes' walk, with cafés, restaurants, bars, independent shops and everyday amenities.
Chalkwell mainline railway station – approx. 10–11 minutes' walk, with direct services to London Fenchurch Street.
Chalkwell Park – within a short walk.
Chalkwell Beach and seafront – approx. 10–13 minutes' walk.
Doctors' surgeries and healthcare facilities – within easy walking distance.
Highly regarded primary and secondary schools – conveniently located nearby.
All four Southend & Westcliff grammar schools – all within walking distance and within the SS0–SS9 priority area for selective entry, together with independent schools locally.

The property has high-speed fibre broadband and strong mobile phone coverage.

It's now time for us to downsize. We sincerely hope the next owners will enjoy this beautiful home, the friendly community and everything that Leigh-on-Sea has to offer just as much as we have.
