Description

QUOTE REF:- GW0451 - GUIDE PRICE £400,000 - £425,000 - This wonderful three-bedroom semi-detached family home occupies an enviable position on the highly desirable Poets Estate in Rayleigh, ideally placed for an excellent range of local amenities and transport links, including Rayleigh Mainline Station and the charming and vibrant Rayleigh High Street. The property also falls within catchment for superb local schools, including Grove Wood Primary School and The FitzWimarc School.

Offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, this beautifully presented home is ready to move straight into and, in our opinion, really stands out from the crowd thanks to its generous plot and excellent outside space.

Internally, the accommodation is bright, spacious and well proportioned throughout, commencing with a generous entrance hall and featuring two reception areas and a fitted kitchen to the ground floor. The first floor provides three sizeable bedrooms together with a family bathroom, making this an ideal home for growing families.

Externally is where this property truly comes into its own. The nicely maintained 55ft south-facing rear garden and patio provides a wonderful space for relaxing, entertaining and alfresco dining, whilst enjoying a good degree of privacy.

A particular highlight is the larger-than-average detached garage positioned to the side of the property. Easily capable of accommodating a medium-sized vehicle whilst retaining additional storage space, it also presents fantastic future potential to create a home office, gym, studio or even annexe-style accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

A real gem within this sought-after Rayleigh location, combining generous accommodation, a superb plot, south-facing garden and an unusually substantial detached garage. Properties offering this combination are rarely available.

Here are the top 7 things you need to know when moving home:

The estate agent acts for the seller and is there to get the seller the best price possible

Understand the length of time it can take - 14 weeks from when you accept an offer, or have an offer accepted to move in! A long time!

It can get stressful, but speak to your agent and your solicitor and they will put you in the picture
