74a The Street, Little Clacton, Clacton-On-Sea, CO16 9LG

Set back from the road behind a substantial block-paved driveway, 74a The Street combines four genuine bedrooms, two bathrooms, generous living accommodation and a long rear garden, while still retaining enough flexibility to adapt as needs change over time. A long central hallway gives the house an immediate sense of scale and creates a clear divide between the bedrooms towards the front and the principal living spaces at the rear. It is a layout that works particularly well on one level, with every room independently accessed and no need to pass through one space to reach another. The kitchen/breakfast room is one of the standout spaces. Gloss grey cabinetry wraps around the room with extensive storage and generous work surfaces, while a large central peninsula provides additional preparation space and a natural place to sit for breakfast, coffee or a quick meal. Integrated cooking appliances include a double oven and gas hob with extractor above, and the sink is incorporated into the peninsula. Glazed doors at the rear bring the garden into view and make this a bright, sociable room that feels designed for everyday use, not just cooking. Alongside it, the living room is comfortably proportioned for substantial seating and has French doors opening directly onto the garden. Additional side windows bring in further natural light, giving the room a bright and uncomplicated feel with plenty of flexibility for larger furniture arrangements. A separate utility room keeps laundry and household jobs away from the kitchen, with fitted storage, sink and worktop space, together with its own external door to the side of the bungalow. It is a small detail, but one that makes the day-to-day layout noticeably more practical. There is also a separate dining room positioned off the hallway. It works comfortably in its current role with space for a full-size table and chairs, but its proportions make it equally useful as a fifth bedroom, second sitting room or dedicated office if required. That flexibility is an important part of the house: the accommodation can be configured around its occupants without compromising the main living rooms. The principal bedroom sits at the front of the bungalow and is a comfortable double with good space for freestanding furniture. It is served by its own en-suite shower room, giving it useful separation from the remaining bedrooms and family bathroom. Bedroom two occupies the converted section of the former garage and has become a particularly useful double bedroom, complete with a broad front-facing window and a full run of fitted sliding wardrobes. The remaining part of the original garage footprint has been retained as storage, so the conversion has increased the living accommodation without losing all of the practical space associated with a garage. Bedrooms three and four sit further along the hallway and provide further flexibility for family, guests or working from home. Bedroom three is a well-proportioned single, while bedroom four is currently arranged as an office but remains a legitimate fourth bedroom within the overall layout. The family bathroom is finished in a clean contemporary style with a panelled bath, WC and vanity basin, complemented by white tiling and contrasting mosaic detailing. Together with the principal en-suite, it means the bungalow offers two separate bath/shower facilities. Outside, the frontage is unusually generous. The broad block-paved driveway provides parking for approximately four vehicles and gives the bungalow a strong sense of separation from the road, with additional pedestrian access running alongside the property. The rear garden is another major part of the appeal. A wide decked terrace immediately behind the bungalow creates a natural outdoor dining and seating area, opening onto a long lawn framed by mature trees, established planting and enclosed boundaries. There is space here to entertain, garden, play or simply enjoy the sense of depth and greenery, while the existing shed provides further… Key Features Detached four-bedroom bungalow offering approximately 1,033 sq ft of single-storey accommodation Flexible layout with a separate dining room that could alternatively serve as a fifth bedroom, office or second sitting room Standout kitchen/breakfast room with large peninsula, extensive storage and direct access to the rear garden Generous rear-facing living room with French doors opening onto the garden Separate utility room with fitted storage, sink and external side access Substantial rear garden with broad decked terrace, long lawn, mature planting and garden shed Extensive block-paved frontage providing off-road parking for approximately four vehicles Modern specification including underfloor heating throughout and EPC rating B, within a village setting close to Clacton and Thorpe-le-Soken rail links Full details, photos & floorplan: https://churchwoodstanley.co.uk/prope...
