Rayleigh Road, Leigh-On-Sea, SS9 5YJ

Tucked along Rayleigh Road in Eastwood, this spacious four-bedroom semi is the kind of home that’s been lovingly looked after for years — and it shows.

The current owners have made it their family home for decades, and now it’s ready for someone else to make it their own. As soon as you walk in, you get a real sense of space.

The ground floor flows beautifully from front to back — with three reception rooms all connected, making it perfect for both day-to-day family life and hosting.

At the front, there’s a lovely bay-fronted dining room. Then in the middle is a cosy living room – ideal for chilly evenings.

And at the back, the lounge extension is a real highlight: there’s a stunning lantern roof letting in loads of natural light, and French doors that open straight out onto the garden.

The kitchen diner is a great size too, with plenty of cupboard space, room to eat in, and access into the garage and the garden — really handy when coming in from the car or the garden.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, which is rare to find. The layout works really well, with a generous landing in the middle and a good-sized family bathroom serving all four rooms.

Outside, the garden is a brilliant space.

South-facing and approximately 120ft long, it starts with a paved patio straight out from the lounge and Kitchen, then steps down to a neat lawn, well-established borders, a summer house and even a tucked-away allotment space at the very end.

And if you’re thinking about adding more space in future, there’s still scope to extend (subject to the usual permissions) without giving up much of the garden.

There’s off-street parking for two cars on the driveway, plus a single garage. Location-wise, you’ve got lots on your doorstep.

You’re close to local shops, parks and bus routes directly into Rayleigh or Southend, and the A127 is just up the road for easy access into Southend or towards the M25.

For schools, Eastwood Primary and The Eastwood Academy are both nearby, with Eastwood Academy rated Outstanding by Ofsted.

Leigh-on-Sea and Rayleigh train stations are both within a short drive too — ideal for anyone commuting into London. Parking - Driveway
