5 bed detached bungalow for sale

High Road, North Stifford RM16

Nestled within the picturesque and highly sought-after village of North Stifford, surrounded by charming 17th and 18th century cottages, this exceptional five bedroom detached family home offers the perfect balance between idyllic countryside living and outstanding modern convenience.

Enjoying a true village atmosphere, North Stifford offers a wonderful sense of community alongside a traditional village pub, local church, corner shop and cricket green, while the surrounding countryside provides stunning walks ideal for dog walking, cycling and escaping the chaos of everyday life for at least half an hour. Despite its peaceful setting, the property remains perfectly positioned for excellent road links via the A13 and M25, while both Grays town centre and Lakeside Shopping Centre are just a short drive away.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, the property itself is an impressive fully detached family residence boasting spacious and highly versatile accommodation throughout. From the moment you step inside, the welcoming entrance hallway immediately sets the tone for the generous proportions found across the home.

The ground floor offers a lovely size lounge ideal for cosy evenings and entertaining alike, alongside a separate dining room perfect for family gatherings and special occasions. A particular standout feature is the unique spiral wine cellar - because every great home deserves at least one feature guests immediately want to see. The modern kitchen/breakfast room provides a stylish and sociable heart to the home, complemented by a practical utility room helping to keep everyday family life neatly tucked away.

The accommodation continues to impress with five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a superb principal suite complete with its own dressing room and en-suite bathroom, while the third bedroom also benefits from a private en-suite. A beautifully appointed contemporary shower room further serves the home.

Externally, the property truly comes into its own. The delightful rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with artificial grass for low maintenance enjoyment and offers an abundance of outdoor living space perfectly suited to entertaining, relaxing and family life. An outdoor cabin/home office provides excellent flexibility for remote working, while additional features include a WC, multiple sheds and, at the rear of the garden, a substantial outbuilding incorporating a bar, games room and indoor swimming pool - essentially turning the garden into its own private leisure complex and making hosting friends dangerously easy.

To the front, the property provides driveway parking for multiple vehicles, while further enhancing the home’s incredible potential is granted planning permission for a loft conversion, double storey side extension and single storey rear extension, allowing future owners the opportunity to create something truly extraordinary if desired.

Spacious, unique and packed with lifestyle appeal, this is far more than just a house - it is the kind of home people rarely want to leave once they arrive.
