2 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

A rarely available detached bungalow tucked away in a delightfully quiet location within a stone’s throw of the town centre

What We Think at The Zoe Napier Group

It really is incredibly rare that a bungalow of this nature comes to the market. Nestled in the corner of a delightful, quiet cul de sac and yet within a short walk the station, some superb restaurants and, an evening walk along the estuary! The property would be ideal for downsizers or discerning sailing enthusiasts that require good access into the city.

What Our Client Says

The property belonged to our late father and he loved the tranquillity of living in this wonderful location. The garden really is a lovely feature and we have some really special memories of family barbecues during the Summer, whilst basking in the sun all day in total seclusion. The time has come to pass the baton to another family and for convenience we will be offering the property for sale with no onward chain.

History & Background

The property is believed to have been originally constructed in the late nineties and is the only bungalow within a cul de sac of just ten properties, located just off of the Burnham high street.

The accommodation provides well-proportioned living space with two reception rooms, including a fantastic sun room to the rear, perfect to relax in with a glass of wine at the end of the day, whilst enjoying glorious views over grounds and a high specification re-fitted kitchen. Situated in the front section is the principal bedroom, a vastly impressive room adjourned with an array of built in wardrobe cupboard and benefits from it’s own spacious e suite facility, whilst the second bedroom is serviced by the family bathroom.

Externally to the front is a large shingle driveway offering ample off street parking for up to six vehicles, with the South facing walled grounds to the rear, a particular feature of the property, beautifully mature and secluded with expansive sun terrace. 

Setting & Location

Harding’ Reach is accessible from Riverside Road, just off of the main High Street. Burnham on Crouch is a charming small maritime town, world famous for being a yachting centre and calmer waters of the Crouch Estuary. The town offers an envious array of traditional shops with plenty of pubs, tea rooms and restaurants all of which are within walking distance from the property. Burnham on Crouch has its own rail station for London's Liverpool Street. This train journey alone is most scenic travelling through the marshes and alongside the river. The typical journey time is 1 hour 10 minutes and a perfect way to travel for Londoners looking for a weekend escape or holiday let accommodation in Burnham.

The town also has good educational facilities with a C of E primary school (Ofsted Good) and Burnhams Ormiston Rivers Academy which remains a Good school for senior education. There is also a supermarket and doctor's surgery, a historic church and a maritime museum, alongside many activities within the town which further include an annual Burnham week sailing regatta.
