Embrace the enchanting and enduring appeal of Leigh-on-Sea from the comfort and prestige of Buxton Square; a handsome home, peacefully positioned on the fringes of Belfairs Woods and Golf Course, overlooking the green.
Prestigious setting
Pull up onto the block paved driveway, leading to a single garage with up and over door, offering comfortable parking for around four vehicles.
With its broad bay windows, and pleasing cream exterior, No. 4, Buxton Square offers a homely welcome immediately upon arrival.
Step inside, via the light-filled glass fronted porch, where there is plenty of space for the doffing and donning of coats and shoes, before continuing through into the entrance hall where the warmth and welcome of No. 4, Buxton Square encompasses you.
Warmth and welcome
Peaceful, homely and light, wooden flooring flows out underfoot, honey toned and harmonising with the stripped back handrail of the staircase, leading up to the right. Ample storage space can be found in the understairs cupboard, whilst there is also a separate cloakroom and downstairs WC.
A home lovingly extended and upgraded by its current owners, No. 4, Buxton Square is a home that affords ample living space for all, carefully designed to provide plenty of places to congregate and come together as a family, whilst also offering areas of quiet calm in which to reflect and relax individually.
Relax and unwind
Double doors open to the left, delivering you through into the sumptuously sized sitting room, cosily carpeted in cream underfoot and warmed by a gas fire, inset within a marbled surround.
Suffused in light from French doors opening to the large patio terrace to the rear, the sitting room is a serene space, with ample room for a Christmas tree over the festive season. The broad bay window to the front also draws in light, alongside an attractive etched glass window to the side.
Feast your eyes
Directly ahead from the entrance hall, feast your eyes on the family kitchen, where the warmth of the wooden cabinetry is balanced by the cool grey granite of the worktops, offering an abundance of both storage and preparation space. Under-cabinet lighting softens the illumination, whilst natural light streams in through the wide window above the double sink, overlooking the garden.
Cook up a feast for friends utilising the host of appliances available including an oven, hob, extractor, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Warmth also emanates from the kickplate heater. The utility room offers a separate space for a washing machine and separate tumble dryer. There is also a small sink, perfect for cleaning football boots or soaking muddy kit.
Family time
With direct access through to the light and airy family-dining room, with its high, vaulted ceiling and bifolding doors – perfect for access out to the beautiful garden and large patio for alfresco summer dining – No. 1, Buxton Square is perfectly apportioned for sociable, open plan family living. Chandelier lighting embellishes the vaulted ceiling, whilst French doors also serve to blur the boundaries between indoors and out.
OWNER QUOTE: “We love to spend time inside the family room if its early spring or late summer. Winter evenings are cosy in front of the flame effect gas fire of the sitting room, looking out at the garden.”
Work from home
Beyond, glazed double doors connect to the downstairs study, diligently designed with six plug points for computers and electrical equipment. With bifolding doors opening to the garden, this convenient office is ideal for keeping an eye on children playing in the garden whilst working from home. A versatile room, it could also serve well as a playroom, flowing off from the main family living space, ideal for keeping toys tidy at the end of the day.
When bedtime beckons, ascend the stairs to the first-floor landing, where four bountiful double bedrooms await.
A masterpiece
Awaken to the sunrise over Belfairs Woods, beyond the lawned square to the front, from the serene master bedroom. Sprinkled with spotlights to the ceiling, the broad bay window saturates the spacious bedroom with natural light. Freshen up in the private ensuite with shower, vanity unit wash basin and WC.
OWNER QUOTE: “The Square gives a gentle view; in the spring it’s covered in daffodils and in the winter, when the leaves have dropped, the sunrises are amazing.”
Overlooking the rear garden, where the occasional squirrel can be spied scampering across the fence, relaxation awaits in bedroom two. Laminate wood flooring flows out underfoot, whilst there is plenty of space for furniture. This peaceful double bedroom again features its own shower room ensuite, crisply tiled in white.
Soak and sleep
Furnished with built-in wardrobes, the third of the double bedrooms offers Jack ‘n’ Jill access to the large family bathroom, tiled in sandy shades underfoot and to the walls, with wall mounted twin wash basins, WC, heated chrome towel radiator and walk-in shower.
OWNER QUOTE: “The bedrooms all have access to numerous bathrooms and a downstairs toilet so those busy mornings getting ready for school are never a waiting game!”
Elegantly dressed in a feature wall of boutique-black wallpaper, bedroom four features its own dressing room, open to the main bedroom, and furnished with a dressing table which can also serve as a desk for studies. Views extend over the square to the front.
Two lofts offer additional storage space, one above the main home and another above the garage.
Entertaining haven
Outside, the landscaped garden is ideal for entertaining. Soak up the sunshine on the broad patio, accessible from the sitting room and family-dining room, where steps lead up to the low maintenance, all weather AstroTurfed lawn.
Mature borders brim with evergreen texture, a haven for wildlife. Established beds filled with an abundance of agapanthus and iris are a joy throughout the spring and summer, whilst trees provide plenty of privacy from neighbours. Adding to the sense of serenity, woodland to the rear resonates with birdsong.
Raise a glass with family and friends on the rear decking, listening to summer tunes; a Wi-Fi booster ensures the garden has good internet coverage, whilst a double electric socket allows you to plug in a sound system or television outdoors for that special summer birthday party.
Dine alfresco on the broad patio outside the family room, the perfect place for a barbecue. In a quiet corner another sociable patio space features built-in bench seating, with designated space for a hot tub, should you wish, further adding to the entertaining potential of the outdoor space at No. 4, Buxton Square.
The large garage, soundproofed and heated by a double radiator, offers plenty of further development potential, used as a games room previously.
A safe and enclosed space for children, with plenty of room to accommodate a trampoline or swing set and still retain room for adults to wine and dine, the garden is a sociable place for all the family.
Out and about
The consummate family home, with room for all, No. 4, Buxton Square is also in prime position for local educational establishments; located in a fantastic catchment area for such schools as West Leigh Infants and Juniors. There is a wide choice of senior schools, grammar schools, faith and non-faith schools, whilst South Essex College is only a bus ride away, as is the nearby university in Southend.
OWNER QUOTE: “The whole area is very family orientated and Leigh Broadway is the perfect place to meet friends and socialise.”
Discover the delights on your doorstep, with the municipal golf course just a stroll away at the end of the road. Leigh-on-Sea retains its enchanting coastal town charm, bringing with it opportunities to join the sailing club, tennis club and many other sporting facilities.
Commuters are so conveniently positioned for access into London, with the mainline C2C trainline from the local station offering direct links to Fenchurch Street.
OWNER QUOTE: “A large majority of our neighbours are commuters [the local station] also means we have the luxury of daytrips to London and the West End and all the delights of the City.”
Leigh Broadway offers a plethora of coffee shops and restaurants for both casual and fine dining. Just a stroll away, work up a thirst on route to The Old Town where there are numerous pubs offering local seafood and a wide choice of real ale.
Take a walk across the Square to explore Belfairs Woods, The Nature Reserve and stumble across the Woodland centre, where children have the opportunity to become little rangers at The Nature School for an hour or two, learning all about the woodland animals.
Embrace the outdoors and pay a visit to the nearby riding school; the perfect place to learn all things equine. After a day’s golfing or riding, meet up with the family for a drink and bite to eat at the Park Restaurant.
With so much to see and experience on the doorstep, pay a visit to Southend, where children can enjoy the summer amusements and where the famous Longest Pier in the World is always a good walk. Catch a concert at The Cliffs Pavilion or make the journey to Essex’s famous Hadleigh Castle. There is plenty to discover close by.
