5 bedroom detached house for sale

Located in the picturesque Essex waterside village of Bradwell-on-Sea, this exceptional five bedroom detached family residence occupies a discreet position behind secure electric gates within an exclusive development of just nine executive homes, constructed in 2005. The property has been comprehensively refurbished throughout by the current owners, resulting in a home of outstanding quality, craftsmanship and contemporary elegance.

Upon entering, one is immediately struck by the sense of scale and refinement, highlighted by a bespoke American oak staircase with 10mm glass balustrades, rising to a galleried landing that allows natural light to flood the heart of the home.

The entire ground floor is finished in luxurious Italian Calacatta flooring by Fiandre, complemented by a 6 zoned underfloor heating throughout, offering both comfort and energy efficiency. To the front of the property is a versatile playroom, leading through to a generously proportioned home office, ideal for modern family living. Adjacent is a stylishly refitted cloakroom.

The formal dining room provides an elegant space for entertaining, comfortably accommodating larger gatherings. Beyond lies the bespoke high-end kitchen, appointed with granite work surfaces and a comprehensive range of integrated Neff appliances. The kitchen has been further enhanced by a vaulted ceiling and two large Velux windows, creating a bright and inviting culinary hub.

Open access from the kitchen leads into the west-facing conservatory, currently used as an informal dining area, with French doors opening onto the rear terrace and garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. From here, double oak doors open into the beautifully proportioned living room, an inviting retreat centred around a feature fireplace, with further doors providing a natural flow back to the main hallway.

Ascending to the first floor, the exceptional quality continues throughout the bedroom accommodation, all of which are generous doubles. The principal bedroom suite enjoys far-reaching views towards the Blackwater Estuary and features a luxuriously refitted en-suite, opulently finished with Italian marble and premium sanitaryware. The second bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining three bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, finished to the same exacting standards.

Externally, the secure gated entrance opens onto a substantial Tobermore-paved driveway, laid on a solid concrete base and providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, including motorhomes, caravans or boats - ideal given Bradwell Marina is just a few minutes’ drive away. The driveway also provides access to a detached double garage, complete with power and useful eaves storage.

The overall plot extends to approximately 0.40 acres (STLS) and wraps around the property, aligned east to west and backing onto open farmland. A spacious patio seating area, bordered by raised planters, ensures there is always a place to enjoy the sunshine and to admire the stunning sunsets across the estuary towards Maldon.
