Barling Road, Barling Magna SS3

“Newtor” Barling Road, Barling Magna: An Exceptional Detached Family Home with Panoramic Field Views - Discover an unparalleled opportunity to acquire a truly special home on Barling Road, within the highly regarded and prestigious setting of Barling Magna. This distinguished four-bedroom detached family home enjoys an enviable position facing open farmers' fields, offering fabulous, uninterrupted views from both ground level and the upstairs front bedrooms. The property balances idyllic semi-rural village life with excellent connectivity, approximately 2 miles from Great Wakering and Thorpe Bay (offering shops, public houses, social facilities, and a direct London Fenchurch Street rail service). Rochford station is around 3.5 miles away for London Liverpool Street services, and Southend-on-Sea's extensive amenities are just under 4.5 miles distant.

The property boasts superb kerb appeal with a sweeping front driveway providing ample room for 3-4 cars, flanked by a beautifully landscaped garden, all set back attractively from the road. Convenient wide side access leads to the rear. A welcoming front porch opens into a generous entrance hall, featuring stairs to the first floor, a guest cloakroom/WC, built-in storage, and a handy study alcove under the stairs. Crucially, a courtesy door from the entrance hall leads to a huge 35'9" x 9'3" integral garage with power and lighting. This offers significant potential to convert into additional living accommodation or even a separate annexe (subject to permissions), as its position adjacent to the guest cloakroom/WC makes plumbing connections straightforward for a potential kitchen and en-suite shower room, further increasing the property's value and versatility.

The entrance hall also leads to the spacious kitchen/breakfast room and the main reception areas. An inviting 18'4" sitting room flows seamlessly into the impressive 19'4" family/dining room, which can be effortlessly separated by sliding doors for flexible living. The family/dining room leads directly to the kitchen and offers lovely garden views and access. The kitchen/breakfast room, a generous 19'4" x 12'6", is an exceptionally spacious culinary hub, renovated just four years ago. It comes complete with a fitted dishwasher, space for a concealed washing machine, and a fitted fridge freezer, all enjoying charming garden views and side access. There is ample space here for a large dining table and chairs, making it perfect for family gatherings. The property benefits from UPVC double glazing and attractive windows throughout, and has been recently redecorated to a professional standard, offering a move-in ready experience with no onward chain.

Upstairs, a part-galleried landing, providing access to a part-boarded loft space, leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a modern shower room. The rear bedrooms (Bedroom 2 and Bedroom 3) enjoy delightful views of the private, expansive garden, while the front bedrooms (Master and Bedroom 4) benefit from the charming open field vistas. The master bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring fitted wardrobes and a large, family-sized en-suite bathroom. A modern family shower room on this level boasts a walk-in shower.

Outside is where this home truly excels, benefiting from a double-width garden plot that extends beyond neighbouring homes, measuring an impressive 65ft wide by 70ft in length. This is a meticulously designed and maintained landscaped garden, featuring private seating areas, a charming koi pond, practical shed, and a barbecue area, all complemented by a delightful pergola and vibrant borders. Despite its east-facing aspect, the property enjoys sun throughout the day due to its open surroundings. This is a rare opportunity to own a very special home in the wonderful semi-rural village of Barling Magna, just a short 5-minute drive to Southend.
