Two-Bedroom Bungalow for Sale in Rayleigh with South-Facing Garden, Driveway, No Onward Chain and Loft Potential

£375,000–£425,000 | Open Home Saturday 19th September, 12–1pm | Viewing by Appointment

Are you searching for a two-bedroom bungalow for sale in Rayleigh with a south-facing garden, off-street parking and no onward chain?

This spacious semi-detached bungalow in Leslie Road offers all of that, together with a surprisingly large lounge and dining room, modern kitchen and shower room, bespoke fitted wardrobes and the exciting potential to create a much larger home in the future.

Positioned in a desirable and convenient part of Rayleigh, the property is within easy reach of Rayleigh High Street, the railway station, local shops and everyday amenities. It could be an excellent choice for downsizers looking for comfortable single-storey living, first-time buyers seeking a freehold home, couples or anyone wanting a bungalow they can enjoy now while retaining the potential to extend later.

One of the property’s biggest surprises is the impressive lounge and dining room at the rear. Far larger than you may expect from the outside, this bright and versatile room provides plenty of space for both comfortable seating and a full dining area.

Bespoke fitted furniture extends across the room, providing a combination of concealed storage and display space, while wide sliding doors bring in plenty of natural light and open directly onto the south-facing garden. It creates an easy connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces, particularly during the spring and summer months.

The separate fitted kitchen is also positioned at the rear of the bungalow and has its own door into the garden. Fitted approximately five years ago, it includes a modern range of shaker-style units, generous worktop space, tiled splashbacks and an integrated oven and hob. Its light, neutral finish makes it ready to use while still offering scope for a new owner to add their own touches.

Both bedrooms are positioned at the front of the bungalow and benefit from bespoke fitted wardrobes, providing valuable storage while leaving the main floor space free. The principal bedroom is an excellent size and features an attractive bay window, while the second bedroom could serve equally well as a double bedroom, guest room, home office or hobby room.

The contemporary shower room was also updated approximately five years ago and includes a generous walk-in shower enclosure, modern vanity unit and extensive wall tiling. Gas central heating completes the practical specification.

Outside, the private rear garden enjoys a highly desirable southerly aspect. There is a decked seating area immediately behind the bungalow, providing an ideal spot for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the sun, with the remainder of the garden offering plenty of opportunity for a new owner to landscape and personalise.

At the front, the property has its own driveway providing off-street parking. The front garden may also offer the potential to create additional parking, subject to any consent that may be required.

For buyers searching for a bungalow in Rayleigh with extension potential, this property offers another important advantage. Planning permission was previously granted to convert and extend the loft, transforming the bungalow into a four-bedroom home.

Although that planning permission has now lapsed and a buyer would need to obtain fresh consent and all necessary approvals, the previous plans demonstrate the exciting potential available. This could allow a future owner to retain the generous ground-floor accommodation while creating additional bedrooms above.

Offered with no onward chain, this is an opportunity to secure a well-maintained two-bedroom bungalow in Rayleigh with a large living room, modern kitchen and shower room, fitted storage, driveway, south-facing garden and genuine potential for the future.

The Open Home takes place on Saturday 19th September between 12pm and 1pm. Viewing is strictly by appointment, so please contact us to reserve your time.
