4 bed semi-detached house for sale

South Street, Rochford, Essex SS4

**guide price £475,000 - £500,000**

A landmark home in the heart of Rochford Market Square, this Grade II listed, 18th Century, semi detached house offers a rare blend of heritage, space and character. Once the National Westminster Bank over half a century ago, later known locally as The Old Watch House, and eventually cherished as a family residence, it stands today as one of South Street’s most historically significant properties; beautifully preserved and thoughtfully lived in across generations.

Inside, the home unfolds over approximately 2008 sq ft, rich with original features and atmospheric charm. The main lounge leads naturally into a cosy sitting area to the right, where a rear porch provides access to a convenient ground floor wet room. To the left, a generous family dining room connects to the kitchen, utility room and an additional ground floor WC, creating a practical and well balanced layout for everyday living. Upstairs, three double bedrooms offer integrated storage, complemented by a fourth single bedroom with its own cupboard and staircase leading to the loft; ideal for a growing family or those seeking extra space.

Outside, a gated, low maintenance courtyard garden sits peacefully to the rear, with side access from the left of the property and private parking for multiple vehicles beyond the courtyard; a rare advantage in such a central location. Positioned moments from Rochford train station with direct links into Central London, bus links into Southend and Rayleigh and just a five minute drive to Southend Airport and its retail park, the home is also surrounded by reputable local schools and the everyday convenience of Rochford’s historic market square.

Please note that the aml fee covers the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti-money laundering checks. Once these checks have been completed, the fee cannot be refunded, even if the property purchase does not go ahead.
