Essex

Ever driven along the Southend coastal stretch and spent more time eyeing the houses than the sea view? Yep us too, and this one is a real beauty, overlooking the tennis courts and Thames Estuary beyond. On the market with <a href="https://www.huntroche.co.uk/property/thorpe-bay-gardens-thorpe-bay-essex-ss1-3nr-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hunt Roche</a>, this <a href="https://www.huntroche.co.uk/property/thorpe-bay-gardens-thorpe-bay-essex-ss1-3nr-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">five bedroom property</a> is up for a mere £2.5M (or offers in the region of), and if we had that kind of money it would be right at the top of our to-view list.

The exterior is charming with its pretty stained glass windows and Plantation shutters. But it’s the balconies that really do it for us – just picture yourself perched out there with your morning coffee! And plenty of room for parking on the drive for when you’re entertaining in your new palatial pad.

The downstairs living areas are stunning too, with a spacious lounge, a large kitchen (naturally is has much coveted quartz worktops and Farrow &amp; Ball painted units) and family room leading on to the orangery (always sounds posher than conservatory). Plus a separate dining room and utility room.

On the first floor you’ll find the master bedroom with a walk-in closet (very Carrie Bradshaw), and en-suite. Next to it, the family bathroom and another two bedrooms, one with an adjoining study that shares the balcony views.

That sounds like plenty of space, but no, there’s more! Up another level and you’ll discover another two bedrooms which share another balcony (like having one isn’t enough). And another en-suite bathroom.

If you’re in need of air after that grand tour then the garden is the spot with it’s well-established tress and shrubs, impressive lush lawn, raised decking areas and pergola-clad patio area. And naturally there’s a summer house too.
