Welcome to this charming four-bedroom semi-detached home on Long Road, Lawford - a perfect setting for families seeking a spacious residence with generous outdoor space.

This substantial property offers over 1,490 square feet of living space, providing a fantastic opportunity for families ready to move up in the world. As you enter, you are welcomed by a spacious entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the home - elegant and full of potential. From here, you can access the large living room, a wonderful space that spans the depth of the house. This dual-aspect room is bathed in natural light, thanks to the semi-circular bay window to the front and another overlooking the rear garden, with a charming stone fireplace acting as the central focal point.

Up next, off the entrance hall at the rear of the home is the well-proportioned kitchen. This practical space offers a generous provision of solid-base storage units, tiled flooring, and plenty of room to accommodate a breakfast table, perfect for those busy mornings. A double-drainer stainless steel sink sits in front of a large window that frames lovely garden views, and an adjoining pantry provides excellent additional storage. The kitchen conveniently leads to the rear garden, making it an ideal spot for entertaining family and friends on warm summer evenings.

For added versatility, the ground floor also features a third reception room, previously a garage and now converted into a bright, carpeted dining room. Whether you choose to use it as a formal dining space, playroom, or home office, this room provides valuable extra accommodation tailored to the needs of a growing family.

Upstairs, the spacious landing connects all four double bedrooms, each offering a well-balanced layout that can comfortably accommodate beds, furniture, and more. The principal bedroom, overlooking the rear garden, is an especially generous space, ideal as a retreat for relaxation. The second bedroom, at the front of the property, is almost perfectly square, creating a pleasant symmetry for setting up your ideal layout. Meanwhile, the third and fourth bedrooms are both well-sized doubles, offering brilliant space for children, guests, or even a home office setup.

The smart family shower room on this floor is tastefully updated and fully equipped, featuring a double-width walk-in shower with the option of both rainfall and standard shower heads, complemented by a vanity unit for extra storage and a heated towel rail to complete the sense of luxury.

Outside, the property excels further. The south-facing rear garden is a true haven for young families or gardening enthusiasts. Unlike others in the area, the garden here widens behind the neighboring property, creating a unique, expansive L-shaped space. It begins with a hardstanding area leading down to a large stretch of lawn, ideal for children to play or for hosting large summer gatherings. Towards the end of the garden, there are three excellent sheds for storage, along with a gated side access leading back to the front of the property. Off-street parking for three vehicles is also available on the block-paved driveway, ensuring plenty of room for family and guests.

This wonderful family home is perfectly positioned within Lawford, offering fantastic access to both primary and secondary schools. Manningtree High School is well-regarded, and the area's excellent transport links make it ideal for commuting into London or nearby towns. Manningtree’s train station, located on the Intercity line, offers a convenient commute to London Liverpool Street in just under an hour, while the nearby A120 and A12 provide straightforward road links to surrounding areas, including Colchester and Ipswich.

In addition to its practicality, the location offers all the charm and convenience of Manningtree town - a historic market town known for its scenic beauty along the Stour Estuary. Whether it’s enjoying a stroll by the water, exploring the local High Street with its boutique shops, cafes, and restaurants, or partaking in the community’s vibrant events, there’s always something to delight families here.
