Requiring some cosmetic modernisation, it offers a wonderful opportunity to create a family home tailored to your own style.

Situated on a highly desirable residential road in Rayleigh, the property is just a stone’s throw from the picturesque Grove Woods, within the Grove Wood Primary and FitzWimarc Secondary school catchments, and conveniently positioned for Rayleigh’s vibrant High Street and mainline station.

A sizeable entrance porch opens into a large hallway with a recently fitted contemporary cloakroom.
