Immaculately presented and exceptionally spacious, this double bay-fronted five-bedroom, three-bathroom detached family home spans just under 2,000 sq ft of accommodation (inclusive of the garage). Set across three floors and positioned on the sought-after Penguin Parade in Stanway, the property offers superb access to highly regarded schools, Stane Retail Park, the A12, and Marks Tey Train Station—providing direct links into London Liverpool Street.

A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, finished with stylish tiled flooring that continues seamlessly throughout the hallway, study, and the impressive open-plan living/dining/kitchen area. To the front sits a versatile bay-fronted study/playroom, with fitted shutters to the front which carry on throughout the house, complete with built-in storage. The spacious bay-fronted living room offers an inviting retreat, while a convenient downstairs WC serves the ground floor.

The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan living/dining and kitchen area, designed for modern family life and entertaining. The kitchen features a sleek array of high-quality units, ceramic kitchen sink and tap, ample worktop space, and a full range of integrated appliances. Patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

The first-floor landing provides multiple storage cupboards and leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. A generous double bedroom enjoys access to a contemporary Jack & Jill bathroom, fitted with a walk-in electric-shower cubicle, WC, and wash basin. This bathroom also links to an additional double bedroom, which benefits from a built-in wardrobe/storage cupboard. Two further bedrooms and a modern family bathroom finished with stylish tiled flooring—comprising a bath, WC, and wash basin—complete this floor.

Occupying the entire top level is the show-stopping principal bedroom suite. This luxurious space offers a bright and airy feel with multiple windows allowing an abundance of natural light. It further benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully appointed en-suite finished with stylish tiled flooring, featuring a double walk-in shower, separate bath, WC, and wash basin.
