Walk to Engayne Primary and Hall Mead Secondary in less than 10 minutes from this extended and chain free semi in a quiet cul-de-sac. Loved by one family since 1972, now it’s your turn. When the school run shapes your whole day, location matters. Here, both Engayne Primary and Hall Mead Secondary schools are less than a 10-minute walk away, so mornings feel calmer and afternoons are simpler. And the best bit is it really doesn’t matter how old your kids are, you’ll never have to think about the school run again. Set within a quiet cul-de-sac, this is the kind of road where children can ride their bikes and when people move here, they tend to stay for years. In fact, the same family bought this house in 1972 and made it their long-term home. Over the decades it has grown with them. Extended in the 1970s and adapted again around 10 years ago, the layout now offers far more flexibility than you might expect from a post-war semi. Chances are, most of your daily life will be centred around the extended rear lounge. At almost 24ft long and opening onto the south-facing garden through sliding patio doors, it’s an impressive room where you can all get together. The galley kitchen sits alongside with separate access to the garden and the side gate. It’s practical and well laid out, with plenty of storage space, with the option to refresh in your own time rather than feeling pressured to change everything all at once. The garage was converted in 2017 and is now a 4th bedroom with fitted wardrobes. Together with the stylish shower room on the other side of the hall (added the same year), it gives you genuine ground floor flexibility. It could suit multi-generational living, a teenager wanting their own space, or simply a separate snug or home office away from the main living area. Upstairs, the sense of space continues. There are three genuine double bedrooms. Unlike many traditional semi’s there’s not a small box room in sight... Bedrooms one and two both include fitted wardrobes, and the family bathroom was updated in 2017 to a clean, modern finish that’s just as nice as the shower room below. Outside, the south facing garden is another really selling point. There’s a patio area for summer evenings, lawn for children to play, and a wooden shed at the rear that has already served as a much-loved den in years gone by. To the front, the large driveway provides plenty of off-street parking, something that becomes even more valuable when friends or family visit. There’s a parade of local shops and takeaways about 5 minutes’ walk away on Avon Road, and Upminster station & Upminster Bridge are both under a mile away for C2C trains to Fenchuch Street and District Line services. If you’re heading further afield, the A127 links you quickly to the M25. This is a solid, extended family home in a sought after school catchment many buyers actively search for. It could benefit from a little updating in some areas but it’s offered chain free and ready for someone new to shape the next fifty years. If you’ve been waiting for the right road, the right schools and the right opportunity, this could be it! Quote RT0654 when calling to arrange a viewing. Calls answered 24/7.
