Detached house for sale in Tyrone Road, Southend-On-Sea SS1

A Generational Home

Just moments from the seafront in a coveted cluster of streets in upmarket Thorpe Bay, this charming Edwardian six-bedroom detached property is one of those homes that rarely changes hands. The area is well known for its oversized detached houses and sweeping gardens that appeal to large families, and Number 27 is no exception.

Inside, plenty of original character features remain, from high coved ceilings to pretty leaded and stained-glass windows that illuminate generously proportioned reception rooms and double bedrooms packed with storage.

However, the house has been upgraded with double glazing by the current owners, while in 2005, they replaced the conservatory and kitchen, updated the wiring and fuse box, and replaced and retiled the bathrooms. A British Gas boiler was also installed in 2012.

An Impressive Entrance

Tyrone Road is a broad and leafy tree-lined street facing the estuary. About midway down, Number 27’s painted exterior showcases beautiful bay windows and a prominent front gable, just like its well-to-do neighbours.

In front, the large in-and-out driveway has been laid with crazy paving, complementing the tropical planted border that partly screens the house from passers-by. A covered porch with outdoor lighting opens into an impressive entrance hallway warmed by a covered radiator and lit by lead lights, an oriel window, and a chandelier pendant.

At the same time, refurbished herringbone flooring underfoot combines with white coved walls, high shelves, dado rails, and stained glass detailing for a characterful welcome, while a cream carpet runs up the half-landing staircase.

Family Time

Off the hallway, you’ll discover three reception rooms, along with an underfloor-heated conservatory, a breakfast kitchen, a modern two-piece WC and a utility room, allowing you plenty of options for relaxing or entertaining.

Begin in the main living room at the front of the house, where a broad square bay with stained glass panels to match those flanking a decorative brick fireplace draws in lovely easterly light, and picture and dado rails elegantly trim the neutral coved walls. A fantastic high ceiling with a central chandelier only adds to the sense of grandeur.

Adjoining the conservatory, which features glossy heated format floor tiles and glazed double doors to the garden, you’ll find another spacious reception room where pale coved walls and picture rails pair with a cream carpet for a light, fresh atmosphere. There’s also a stylish light fitting to the ceiling rose and space for a wall-mounted TV above a cast-iron fireplace with a brick surround.

Beyond this, you have a formal dining room with original features to match the other reception rooms and a tall side window that creates a lovely bright backdrop for breakfast and lunch. Meanwhile, the spot-lit German kitchen faces the west-facing garden, so you can easily watch over the children while washing up or making tea.

Here, black granite worktops and chrome handles finish a varied range of light ash cabinetry and drawers facing the breakfast area, with integrated appliances including a gas hob with a chrome and glass extractor, a double oven, a Miele fridge and freezer, and a Bosch dishwasher. In addition, you’ll find __ in the separate utility room.

Head to Bed

On first floor, there are four double bedrooms, with a huge master and a guest bedroom (both bespoke built by Sharps) featuring integrated storage and tiled en suite shower rooms. The master also boasts a large box bay window ¬– an ideal reading nook – while a door allows direct access to a smaller double/nursery.

Keep exploring to find another massive double bedroom with a wall of in-built wardrobes and character detailing to the walls and ceiling, plus a spacious family bathroom fully lined with glossy black-and-white tiling. This contains a tiled bath, a separate shower enclosure, a vanity basin unit, a bidet and a modern toilet.

There are two further bedrooms on the top floor, the largest of which comes with plenty of in-built storage and is currently a private office, with a custom desk in the window. Set up as a music room, the final double has practical laminate flooring, wardrobes, eaves storage, and made-to-measure shelving, making it a great play area, library, or den.

Step Outside

At the back of the house, a large terrace to match the paved front drive leads onto a long, well-maintained lawn extending to __feet and fully enclosed by fencing and established shrubs and trees. Facing west, the garden is perfectly positioned for enjoying sunny afternoons playing with the kids, sunbathing, or hanging out with friends and family. If you want more space, the nearby green is a favourite spot for learning to ride bikes, while Thorpe Bay’s beaches offer freedom for children to enjoy Southend’s iconic coastline.

On one side, the detached double-glazed garage provides secure parking, but it could be used as a workshop, home gym, studio space, or office if desired. Wrought-iron gates on either side of the house also link back to the driveway for easy access.
