If You’ve Been Waiting For The “Just Right” House On Brandon Groves, This Could Be The One. A spacious and welcoming detached home with a landscaped, south facing garden and an impressive main bedroom suite - complete with a dressing area and ensuite.

Brandon Groves has a habit of holding onto its residents. People move in, get settled, and tend to stay. That’s what makes opportunities to move here feel a little different. The fact that the current owners have been here for over 20 years tells its own story…

Positioned towards the quieter end of the estate, you’re only moments from the footpaths that run alongside Mardyke Golf Course. It’s the kind of setting that makes an early evening stroll or weekend dog walk an easy part of your daily routine.

The entrance hall is a simple, square space with a downstairs cloakroom just off it and stairs rising to the first floor.

The lounge sits to the rear and opens onto the garden through patio doors. It’s a comfortable, light and bright room that connects naturally with outside space when the sun is out.

Alongside, the separate dining room gives you flexibility. It works just as well for Sunday lunch as it does as a quieter reading room or study if you no longer need a formal dining space.

The fitted kitchen sits between the dining room and the built-in single garage, with an internal door leading straight through. The garage has power and lighting and is currently used for storage, but there’s clear potential to convert it into additional living space, subject to the usual consents.

Upstairs, the landing leads to three bedrooms and the stylish shower room.

The main bedroom is particularly impressive. It’s a room with real presence, leading through to a dedicated dressing area with fitted wardrobes and then into a large ensuite with a bath.

It feels more like a private suite than a standard bedroom. A space that allows you to close the door at the end of the day and properly switch off.

Bedroom two is a comfortable double. Bedroom three is a single, ideal as a children’s or teenager’s bedroom, a study, hobby room or occasional guest room.

Outside is where those twenty years of love and care really show. South facing and thoughtfully landscaped, the garden has been gently shaped and enjoyed over time.

There’s space to sit, entertain and enjoy the warmer months properly. And that does include space for a jacuzzi (which could be left, subject to negotiation). A side access gate adds bin-day practicality, and there’s even a tucked-away nook around the corner for storage, where the current owners keep their shed.

There’s space to park in front of the garage and a small lawn (which could also be paved if you need more space to park).

Ockendon Station is around a 15–20-minute walk away, with C2C services reaching London Fenchurch Street in roughly 35 minutes.

The 370-bus links you towards Lakeside and Romford. And for drivers, the M25, A13 and A127 are all within easy reach.

There’s a real sense of community within Brandon Groves. A volunteer run club and bar, local football teams and familiar faces give it a settled, neighbourly feel.

The house would benefit from a little cosmetic updating in places, but it has been very well cared for and loved by the same owners for over two decades. That warmth is easy to sense as you walk through, and chances are you’d want to put your own stamp on the place when you moved in.

If you’ve been waiting for the right house on Brandon Groves, this could be the one. It’s in a great spot, has been well cared for and offers scope to make it your own…at your own pace.

I’m expecting plenty of interest so get in touch to arrange a private viewing. Quote RT0654 when calling to view. Calls answered 24/7.
