3 bed detached house for sale

St. Lukes Road, Southend-On-Sea, Essex SS2

The Old Vicarage is a distinctive 1930s detached home offering generous accommodation, attractive period character and a wonderfully individual setting. With three bedrooms, an attached garage, a long rear garden and an impressive first-floor sun terrace, this is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a home with both personality and future potential.

The property occupies an unusual position with open views towards the church and Bugloss to the front, together with a more open outlook across the neighbouring bungalows beyond the rear garden. Believed to have once served as the local vicarage, it is one of the few fully detached homes within this part of St Luke’s Road and has a real sense of individuality from the moment you arrive.

A welcoming entrance porch opens into a spacious hallway, where a turned staircase, polished wooden flooring and period stained-glass detailing immediately set the tone. The principal reception room is particularly generous at over 18ft in length, providing excellent space for both everyday family living and entertaining.

To the rear is a well-proportioned kitchen / dining room, with direct access onto the garden, while a useful ground-floor shower room adds further practicality. The layout already works well for family life, but the overall footprint also provides scope for buyers looking to reconfigure or extend in the future, subject to the necessary planning and building consents.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are comfortable doubles, while one enjoys direct access onto the substantial sun terrace – a fantastic private outdoor space with plenty of room for seating, relaxing or enjoying the open outlook.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The long rear garden provides a generous mix of lawn and patio areas, making it ideal for children, entertaining or simply enjoying the outdoors. A useful garden shed provides additional storage, while the attached garage adds further practicality for parking, storage or future use.

Location Highlights

With its detached position, generous room sizes, long garden, garage and exceptional sun terrace, The Old Vicarage is a home with a character and presence that is increasingly difficult to find.
