56., Fairview Avenue, Stanford Le Hope, SS17 0DT

Guide Price £400,000-£440,000 Extended character home with huge kitchen/family room, 360-degree wood burner, original sash windows, cellar, loft room and magnificent 250ft garden, just 0.3 miles from Stanford-le-Hope station.

If you like your homes with character, space and just a little bit of swagger, this extended property on Fairview Avenue could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

Step through the front porch and into a home that blends period charm with the sort of living space modern families dream about. The welcoming lounge sits to the front and immediately sets the tone.

A fabulous bay-fronted window brings in plenty of natural light, while the feature fireplace adds that all-important character.

It’s a proper lounge too - somewhere to actually put your feet up rather than simply admire from the doorway.

An inner lobby provides access to the ground-floor cloakroom/WC before leading through to the separate dining room/second reception room.

Dining room, playroom, home office, snug or somewhere to hide from everyone else for five minutes - the choice is yours. And then comes the main event.

The extended kitchen/diner/family room is huge and unquestionably the heart of this home.

Designed for everyday family life and entertaining on a grander scale, there’s room to cook, dine, gather and socialise without anybody getting under anybody else’s feet.

Taking centre stage is a fantastic 360-degree wood burner, creating a real focal point and making this an impressive room whatever the season.

There’s also a separate utility room, which provides access down to the cellar - another useful and characterful addition to an already seriously interesting home.

Head upstairs and the first-floor landing serves three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The master bedroom occupies the front of the property and continues the period theme beautifully with an original fireplace.

The family bathroom is another room with plenty of personality, with its three-piece suite including a freestanding Victorian-style roll-top bath - because some bathrooms deserve more than a quick shower and a rushed exit.

Stairs continue to the top floor where you’ll find a boarded loft room, offering yet more useful space and flexibility. But just when you think this house has played all its cards, step outside.

The beautifully established rear garden extends to approximately 250ft and is quite simply a delight. This isn’t just a garden; it’s practically your own private park.

With multiple areas including lawn, patio and decking, there’s space for summer entertaining, children to play, keen gardeners to get creative or simply to find a quiet spot and disappear with a coffee.

Parking is available to the front, while the location makes everyday life particularly convenient.

Fairview Avenue is approximately 0.3 miles from Stanford-le-Hope railway station, offering direct services towards London Fenchurch Street, while the A13 is also easily accessible.

Character, original features, a huge extended living space, a cellar, versatile loft room and around 250ft of established garden - this is one of those homes where there’s always another feature waiting around the corner.

Early viewing is strongly recommended. Mainly because describing that garden is one thing. Seeing it is quite another.
