The Extended Family Home That Has Room For Everyone - Including The One Who Works From Home. With five bedrooms and a separate study, three reception rooms, a spectacular kitchen diner and a top-floor retreat - all on a North Grays street with Fenchurch St. Less than an hour away.

Finding a family home with genuine space for everyone - kids, parents, the work laptop and the Sunday roast - can be a tricky task. This Edwardian semi on Palmers Avenue has been extended and updated across three floors to do exactly that, and the result is a home that keeps surprising you the more you explore.

The front of the house is pleasantly familiar - there’s a porch, a driveway with room for several cars and the kind of solid early 20th-century kerb appeal that ages well. What you don't see from the street is just how much is going on inside.

The entrance hall sets the tone immediately - rich Italian tiles, a beautiful turned staircase, and a sculptural pendant light that tells you this family has an eye for detail.

Three reception rooms lead off from here. The lounge has French doors straight out to the garden and a wood-burning stove. The dining room has its own wood burner too, a wonderful bay window, and enough space around the table to seat the whole extended family comfortably.

The third reception room is currently used as a playroom - although it could just as easily be a snug, a reading room, or something else entirely as the family grows and changes.

There's also a utility room tucked away off a small inner hallway, along with a downstairs WC - genuinely handy for a busy household.

The extended kitchen-diner is the kind of room that makes you stop in the doorway for a second. Running to over 24 feet, it has gloss shaker units, granite worktops, a butler sink and a large central island with deep drawer storage. A full wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinetry on the dining side takes care of storage. There's a banquette dining area at one end and French doors opening out to the garden.

Upstairs on the first floor, there are four double bedrooms and a separate study/home office.

The family bathroom is a proper treat: With a modern freestanding slipper bath, a walk-in shower and black hexagonal floor tiles that makes it feel more boutique hotel than suburban semi.

The top floor is dedicated to the main bedroom suite. A large, light room with three Velux skylights, a vaulted ceiling and enough floor space to breathe. There’s a dressing room fitted on both sides with painted shaker wardrobes, a central dressing table run and a round porthole window and a stylish en-suite shower room.

Outside, the garden is large, private and practical. A wide paved terrace runs across the back of the house. It’s perfect for summer evenings and well set up for the gazebo and outdoor seating area that currently sits alongside a large wooden shed.

The lawn is neat, with established borders along both sides, and the whole space has the feel of a garden that's been properly loved.

For commuters, Grays station is a 15 minute walk away - so there’s no need to take the car (although it only takes 5 minutes to drive if you are running late), with a direct service to London Fenchurch Street taking around 35 minutes.

You’re well served by a choice of great schools. Quarry Hill Academy and Grays Convent High School for Girls are both less than a 10 minute walk away, and Blackshots Leisure Centre - with its pool, gym and sports pitches - is only a short drive away.

If your family has outgrown your current home and you need a place that genuinely works for all of you - the kids, the commute and the home office - this is a spacious and stylish answer to that problem.
