5 bed bungalow for sale

School Lane, Lawford, Manningtree, Essex CO11

This spacious property offers flexible living with a unique layout with the main accommodation conveniently laid out on the ground floor, perfect for family life or downsizing without compromise. On the first floor, further accommodation could be a self-contained suite with its own kitchen, bathroom, and living/bedroom space opens the door to multi-generational living or guest accommodation. Outside, the property features ample off-road parking, a garage, and private gardens.

The ground floor accommodation is both spacious and well balanced, offering a practical layout that suits modern family life. Off the central hallway lies a generous living room that leads through to a second reception space, ideal for dining or entertaining, with sliding doors opening directly to the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is well-proportioned and benefits from dual aspect windows, a breakfast peninsula and access to outside.
There are three generous double bedrooms on this level, each with good natural light. A family bathroom, fitted with a corner bath and separate shower, serves the ground floor, along with a separate WC, accessed from the hallway.
The first floor offers a highly flexible extension of the main accommodation, ideally suited to a range of lifestyle needs. Whether used as additional space for a growing family or adapted for multi-generational living, the layout provides valuable independence without compromise. This floor includes a bright and generously sized reception room with open views, a separate kitchen, a bathroom, and a further double bedroom. The proportions throughout are excellent, and the arrangement lends itself well to use as a self-contained suite, guest accommodation, or even a home office and leisure area. With its own access via the main staircase and a clear separation from the ground floor, this space delivers versatility rarely found in properties of this type.
The property is set back from the road and approached via a private driveway, providing ample off-road parking and access to the garage. The front garden is largely laid to lawn with mature hedging along with established shrub borders and a decorative planting bed.
To the rear, the garden offers a generous and enclosed outdoor space. A raised decked area directly accessed from the dining area provides a pleasant spot for seating or outdoor dining, while the remainder of the garden is laid to lawn with a mixture of paving and planting. The garden is well-proportioned and offers excellent potential for landscaping or family use.
