Description

Standing proudly on Kings Road, the property is a beautiful reminder of the craftsmanship and architectural ambition of the Edwardian era. More than a century later, much of that character remains wonderfully evident, with soaring ceiling heights, handsome original joinery, decorative detailing, stained glass and an impressive staircase all contributing to a home that feels individual, established and full of personality.

From the moment you step inside, the scale of the house becomes apparent. A grand entrance hallway sets the tone, with its generous proportions and striking period features creating an immediate sense of occasion. The principal reception rooms continue this theme, particularly the magnificent main lounge, an exceptional space with wonderful ceiling height, abundant natural light and the proportions expected of a home of this standing. A separate formal dining room positioned to the front provides another elegant reception space and further demonstrates the versatility of the accommodation.

Across the upper floors, the property offers six bedrooms, including notably generous principal rooms, with the abundance of windows helping to create bright and characterful spaces throughout. The house has clearly evolved with generations of family life while retaining the architectural details and charm that make homes of this period so difficult to replicate.

Perhaps most compelling is the opportunity the property now presents. There is already enormous charm, presence and character here, while the scale of the accommodation provides exciting scope for a new owner to sympathetically update and enhance the interiors over time, creating an exceptional family home while preserving the period features and individuality at its heart.

The location is equally special. Chalkwell Park is moments away, while Chalkwell seafront is also within easy reach. Chalkwell Station provides direct rail services into London Fenchurch Street, making the property particularly well positioned for commuters, while Leigh-on-Sea and the independent shops, restaurants and cafés of Leigh Broadway are readily accessible.

This property is far more than a substantial six bedroom semi-detached home, it is a property with more than a century of history, remarkable proportions and an architectural character all of its own. For buyers searching for a distinguished period residence in one of Chalkwell’s most desirable settings, this is a special opportunity.
