Originally chosen by my parents as our family home, the property has always been loved for its quiet Chadwell location while still being well connected, with a bus stop just a couple of minutes away and easy links to Grays station and Lakeside.
One of my favourite things about the home is following the sun throughout the day — morning coffee in the conservatory as the sun rises at the front, followed by evenings in the garden enjoying a glass of wine as the sun sets.
The conservatory has always been a favourite spot, whatever the weather, while the kitchen and lounge are where friends and family naturally gather.
I’ll particularly miss the garden and fishpond, especially sitting outside with the gentle sound of the waterfall in the background. Above all, it has always been a comfortable, lived-in family home rather than a show home.
