Quote RT0654 when calling to view. Calls answered 24/7. (Guide Price £575,000 -£625,000) A Family-Friendly And Commuter-Friendly Home Where You Don’t Have To Sacrifice Space Or Style For Speed.

A modern four bedroom detached family home with a recently upgraded kitchen, a sunny south-facing garden and only 35 minutes to Fenchurch Street from South Ockendon.

Finding a family home that works for the school run, the daily commute and the weekend can be tricky. Brandon Groves is about as close as you’ll get to finding the perfect blend.

There's a volunteer-run club and bar, local football teams and a friendly, neighbourly feel that's genuinely hard to find on newer developments.

It takes around 20 minutes to walk to the station (or 5 mins in the car) and the school run will also be short, with a choice of great primary schools and Harris Academy all within a 10 minute drive.

The house itself makes a lasting first impression. The resin driveway is smart and practical, with parking for several cars and access to the built-in single garage.

Inside, the entrance hall sets a welcoming tone - grey-painted walls, light wood-effect flooring, a staircase with white-painted banisters and a glimpse straight through to the kitchen at the back.

The lounge runs to almost 16ft and feels like a proper family room - light, calm and finished in warm neutral tones.

It flows naturally into the dining room, and there's real potential here too - the wall between the two rooms could come down to create a much more open and sociable ground floor space (measuring over 27ft from front to back).

The current owners bought the house in 2018 and have concentrated their upgrading efforts on transforming the kitchen.

It's been put together thoughtfully and looks the part, with white gloss units, granite worktops, a Smeg five-ring gas hob, integrated microwave and double oven, and a large American-style fridge freezer.

The separate utility room keeps the washing machine and dryer out of sight. The garden faces south, so it catches the sun throughout the day.

There's a stone-paved patio right off the back of the house - perfect for eating outside from spring through to autumn - and a good stretch of lawn beyond, with a timber play frame already in place for younger children.

There are four family-friendly bedrooms arranged across the first floor.

The main bedroom is a comfortable double with its own ensuite shower room - tiled throughout in warm stone tones with a chrome ladder radiator.

The family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and has a full-size bath with overhead shower and glazed screen.

Two of the other bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles; the fourth works well as a single, dressing room or a home office.

The 370 bus runs towards Lakeside and Romford, and the M25, A13 and A127 are all within easy reach for anyone heading out of London rather than in.

If you want a move-in-ready, versatile family home on a popular estate - with a commute that doesn't eat into your evenings – Medlar Drive is worth a serious look.
