Having remained in the same family ownership for over half a century, the property represents an increasingly rare chance to acquire a much-loved home offering generous accommodation, extensive outside space and exceptional potential for a new owner to modernise, reconfigure or potentially extend, subject to the relevant planning permissions.
The accommodation is particularly versatile, extending to approximately 1,593 sq ft internally, with a further detached garage of approximately 205 sq ft. The ground floor comprises two generous bedrooms, a spacious living room with adjoining dining area, kitchen with separate breakfast area, family bathroom, separate WC and an additional office. Upstairs, a further bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe, alongside substantial loft space, further highlighting the exciting possibilities this property has to offer.
Externally, the home occupies a wonderfully established plot, surrounded by mature front and rear gardens, with a long driveway providing ample off-street parking and access to the detached garage. The beautiful wrap-around gardens are a standout feature, boasting an expansive lawn, established flower beds, mature trees including a rare mulberry tree, and a patio area ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. A greenhouse and garden shed provide additional practicality, whilst the generous grounds offer tremendous scope for families, keen gardeners or those looking to create their dream outdoor space.
Despite its wonderfully private and peaceful position, Elm Close is exceptionally well situated, with Rayleigh High Street, Rayleigh train station, local schools and parks all within walking distance. This outstanding location perfectly combines tranquillity and seclusion with everyday convenience.
