Description
As you step through the front door, you are welcomed into a bright entrance hall, where light filters through a glazed side panel. The staircase rises to the first floor, with useful storage tucked beneath. From here, the hallway draws you straight ahead into the kitchen, while the main living space lies to the right.
The living room stretches the full depth of the original home, creating a generous and versatile reception area. A large window to the front fills the room with natural light, while a feature fireplace provides a central focus. At the far end, glazed French doors open into the dining extension, linking the spaces together and inviting views of the garden beyond.
The kitchen is arranged in a practical galley style, fitted with a range of gloss-fronted units at both base and wall level. Wooden-effect work surfaces sit neatly above, complemented by grey metro-tiled splashbacks for a modern touch. There is a built-in oven with separate grill, a four-ring gas hob, and space for further appliances. A window looks out to the rear, and the tiled floor offers durability and ease of upkeep. The layout naturally connects with the adjoining dining space, perfect for everyday family life.
The dining room, part of the rear extension, enjoys excellent natural light through wide glazed doors that open directly to the garden. With tiled flooring and space for a table and chairs, it makes for an inviting setting, whether for casual meals or entertaining guests.
Upstairs, the first bedroom is a spacious double positioned at the front, benefitting from a wide window that allows the room to feel open and bright. To the rear, a second double bedroom overlooks the garden, again offering good proportions and flexibility. The third bedroom, slightly smaller, provides an ideal space for a study, playroom, or single bedroom.
The bathroom is fitted with a white three-piece suite including a panelled bath with electric shower over, a modern vanity wash basin with storage beneath, and a low-level WC. Tiled walls in a neutral finish are complemented by a mosaic border, while a frosted window offers both natural light and privacy.
Outside, the front garden is laid to lawn with a pathway leading to the entrance, setting the property back from the walkway.
To the rear, the garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to combine practicality with style. A shaped patio in Indian sandstone-style paving offers a perfect spot for outdoor seating and dining, leading up to a lawn with raised borders. Enclosed by fencing for privacy, the garden also features a garage at its far end, providing additional storage or workshop space with access available from the rear.

This quiet residential street benefits from surprisingly low crime levels and a calm, family-friendly atmosphere, with most homes occupied by local families and mature residents . For young families, proximity to schools truly stands out. All Saints’ CofE Primary in Dovercourt is just a few minutes away, and Harwich and Dovercourt High School is well within walking distance. Healthcare needs are also quickly met, with Mayflower Medical Centre and Fryatt Hospital nearby, both offering accessible services on foot. Commuting or exploring beyond? Long Meadows is connected well by public transport. Harwich International and Dovercourt railway stations are each around one to one-and-a-half miles away—providing access to wider Essex and beyond. If you feel the pull of the sea, Harwich’s ferry services and its historic RNLI lifeboat station reflect the area’s enduring maritime roots.
