Woodgrange Drive Southend-On-Sea, Southend-On-Sea, Essex, SS1

Rarely do family homes of this scale, character and position become available. Occupying a prominent corner plot on the highly sought-after Woodgrange Drive, this exceptional five-bedroom 1930's semi-detached residence offers approximately 1,844 sq ft of beautifully proportioned living accommodation, complemented by a substantial 287 sq ft detached double garage (overall gross floor area approximately 2,131 sq ft). Enjoying a wonderful south-facing plot, three bathrooms, generous living and entertaining space, and an enviable position just moments from Southchurch Park, this is undoubtedly one of the area's most impressive family homes.

The property immediately impresses with its exceptional kerb appeal. A beautifully landscaped front garden, framed by mature trees, colourful borders and established planting, creates a stunning first impression and perfectly complements the handsome bay-fronted 1930's fa硤e. To the rear, the south-facing garden enjoys an excellent degree of privacy, whilst a substantial 17'2 x 16'9 detached double garage benefits from an electric roller door, power, lighting and a gated driveway, comfortably accommodating two vehicles with additional parking in front. Whilst there is potential to create further parking to the front (subject to the usual consents), the current arrangement preserves one of the property's defining features — its outstanding landscaped frontage.

A traditional storm porch leads through an attractive stained-glass entrance door into a welcoming entrance hall, beautifully finished with herringbone wood flooring, original character detailing and a useful understairs storage cupboard.

Immediately to the right of the entrance hall is a practical 8'9 x 5'7 four-piece family wet room, fitted with full-height tiling, inset spotlights, a heated towel rail, bath, separate shower area, WC and wash hand basin. Its convenient ground floor position is perfect for busy family life and especially useful after returning from Southchurch Park or the nearby seafront.

To the left of the hallway, the impressive 20'3 x 10'9 bay-fronted dual-aspect lounge/diner is flooded with natural light from both the front bay and side window. High ceilings, attractive stained-glass leaded windows and a feature fireplace create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the generous proportions provide excellent space for both relaxing and entertaining.

Across the hallway, the elegant 16'5 x 11'9 formal dining room enjoys a dual-aspect design with beautiful stained-glass windows and French doors opening directly onto the south-facing garden, making it ideal for formal entertaining, family dining or as an additional reception room.

The adjoining 17'3 x 7'8 family kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with practicality in mind. Overlooking the garden and providing direct outside access, it offers extensive worktop space, under-cabinet task lighting, illuminated cupboards, a recently installed integrated Zanussi comfort-height oven and microwave, gas hob with extractor, dedicated space for a tall fridge/freezer, modern combi boiler, tiled flooring and splashbacks, together with ample room for a breakfast table.

The spacious first-floor landing leads to four generous bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom measures 15'4 x 11'9, enjoying generous proportions, a beautiful bay window and original stained-glass detailing.

Bedroom Two measures 13'3 x 12'0 and is another excellent double bedroom with a matching bay window.

Bedroom Three measures 10'8 x 7'9 and is a genuine double bedroom, benefiting from the attractive angled corner design synonymous with quality 1930's homes.

Bedroom Four measures 8'0 x 7'1 and is a generous single bedroom, ideal as a child's bedroom, nursery or home office.

The family bathroom measures 7'9 x 7'1 and is fitted with a four-piece suite comprising a bath with shower over, vanity wash basin, heated towel rail and fully tiled walls.

The second floor provides a superb principal suite or private guest accommodation.

Bedroom Five measures 13'7 x 10'4, enjoying excellent natural light together with a generous 7'3 walk-in wardrobe, extensive eaves storage and a spacious 8'8 x 8'3 four-piece en-suite bathroom, fitted with a bath, separate shower, WC and vanity wash basin.

Outside, the south-facing rear garden has been beautifully maintained and enjoys an excellent degree of privacy. An immediate patio provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining before leading onto a well-kept lawn surrounded by vibrant planting, mature shrubs and colourful borders. Side access, a brick-built storage shed and the impressive detached double garage complete an exceptional outdoor space.

The location is every bit as impressive as the home itself. Woodgrange Drive is widely regarded as one of Southchurch's premier residential roads, offering the perfect balance of peaceful family living and everyday convenience. Southchurch Park is literally moments away, providing ornamental lakes, tennis courts, children's play areas and beautiful open green space, whilst the award-winning seafront and beaches are comfortably within walking distance.

Families are exceptionally well catered for, with a number of highly regarded schools nearby including Greenways Primary School, Thorpe Hall School, Bournemouth Park Academy, Southchurch High School, together with convenient access to Southend High School for Boys, Southend High School for Girls and the area's renowned grammar schools.

Southend East Station provides direct C2C services into London Fenchurch Street, while Southchurch Road offers an excellent selection of caf鳬 restaurants, supermarkets and independent shops. Southend City Centre is also easily accessible, providing extensive shopping, leisure facilities and entertainment.

Offering approximately 1,844 sq ft of beautifully balanced living accommodation, together with a 287 sq ft detached double garage, five bedrooms, three bathrooms, exceptional entertaining space, wonderful original character and one of Southchurch's most desirable locations, this represents a rare opportunity to secure a forever family home with space to grow and enjoy for many years to come.
