Situated within a private and select development just off North Lane in Marks Tey, this vastly improved and deceptively spacious three bedroom, three bathroom detached chalet-style bungalow offers flexible accommodation, high-quality finishes and excellent access to local amenities. Ideally positioned for Stane Retail Park, the A12, A120 and Marks Tey railway station – providing direct services into London Liverpool Street – this home is perfectly suited for commuters and families alike.
An inviting entrance hall sets the tone for the generous accommodation throughout and provides access to a convenient downstairs WC and multiple storage cupboards, including under-stairs storage.
The spacious living room is a wonderful focal point of the home, featuring a striking stone fireplace with fitted cast iron multi-fuel stove and fitted window shutters. Double internal doors lead through to the heart of the property – an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with a central island, an abundance of high-quality cabinetry, granite work surfaces and integrated appliances. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen is the extended dining area, enhanced by a part-vaulted ceiling, four skylight windows and a glazed gable, flooding the space with natural light. Doors from either side provide access to the driveway and the rear garden, creating superb indoor-outdoor connectivity.
To the front of the property, a well-proportioned double bedroom benefits from Sharps fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite walk-in shower room. To the rear, a further generous double bedroom offers fitted wardrobes, double doors opening onto the garden and its own well-appointed en-suite shower room.
A practical utility room houses the boiler and provides additional storage, along with direct access to the rear garden.
The first floor landing includes a useful storage cupboard/wardrobe and leads to a well-proportioned double bedroom featuring eaves storage and a private en-suite bathroom, making it an ideal principal suite or guest accommodation.
The property enjoys a good-sized, enclosed rear garden comprising a patio seating area, a predominantly lawned section and mature trees and flower beds providing privacy and colour throughout the seasons. An additional paved area houses a garden shed.
From the garden, a side gate leads to the generous front driveway, and two separate doors provide direct access into the double garage.
To the front left of the property, a substantial private driveway offers ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The double garage is accessed via traditional open-out doors to the front and further doors from the garden, and benefits from power and a boarded loft space.
The garage previously had planning permission granted for conversion into a fully self-contained annexe (comprising open-plan kitchen/living/dining space, double bedroom and en-suite shower room). Please note this permission has now lapsed, however it demonstrates the exciting potential on offer, subject to the necessary consents.
This exceptional chalet-style home combines space, versatility and quality in a highly convenient yet tucked-away location – an ideal opportunity for those seeking flexible living with excellent commuter links.
