4 bedroom detached house for sale

A Secluded Woodland Retreat in the Heart of Benfleet

Tucked away on a private road in Benfleet and nestled amongst mature woodland, this exquisite detached home offers a truly rare lifestyle opportunity. Georgian in style and rich in charm, the property sits on approximately two-thirds of an acre and measures over 4,500 sq ft — an extraordinary space both inside and out, offering seclusion, sophistication, and a setting that feels a world away, all within walking distance of Benfleet High Street and station.

From the moment you arrive, the gated in-and-out driveway sets the tone for what lies beyond — a home that has been lovingly created to offer something special at every turn. Inside, the accommodation unfolds beautifully across three floors. On the first floor, four spacious double bedrooms each benefit from their own private en-suite, offering comfort and privacy in equal measure. The principal bedroom is a true showpiece — stretching from the front to the rear of the property, it boasts a walk-in wardrobe and an indulgently appointed en-suite bathroom. Bedroom two, currently used as a guest suite, offers its own balcony with views across the rear garden, a peaceful spot to enjoy a morning coffee or evening sunset.

At the heart of the home, the galleried landing sweeps upwards in a grand spiral from the ground floor to the top of the house, crowned by a dramatic chandelier that cascades elegantly through the centre of the stairwell — a true architectural statement. On the top floor, the loft has been thoughtfully converted to provide two exceptional entertainment spaces. One has been designed as a cinema room, the other as a games room, making it ideal for family living and social gatherings alike.

The ground floor has been designed to accommodate both formal and informal lifestyles. A refined lounge and dedicated dining room offer a space to retreat and entertain, while to the rear, the expansive family room is the hub of the home. Centred around a bespoke-built kitchen with island, this impressive space flows effortlessly into relaxed lounge and dining areas that open directly onto the garden and pool. Standout features here include a walk-in pantry, a separate utility room, and a bespoke bar area — ideal for summer entertaining.

Outside, the garden is a haven of serenity, thoughtfully landscaped across multiple tiers, each offering its own unique perspective. The heated swimming pool, with a shallow entry leading to a depth of approximately six feet, offers year-round enjoyment, and a separate poolside bathroom means guests need not step back into the main house. It’s the sort of garden that becomes a lifestyle — a place to gather, unwind, and enjoy nature. Wildlife is in abundance, and during the summer months the current owners often find themselves with friends under the gazebo, sharing food and wine beneath the trees.

With the potential to be sold with no onward chain, this home is now ready to be passed to its next family who can truly appreciate and enjoy every inch of what it has to offer. Perfectly positioned within easy reach of Benfleet High Street and station, and just moments from South Benfleet Primary School and the highly sought-after King John Senior School, this is not just a house — it’s the dream home we all imagined growing up. A magical, one-of-a-kind residence that must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
