Built by Linden Homes and forming part of an attractive new community on the edge of Kirby Cross and Frinton-on-Sea, “The Hadleigh” has been thoughtfully designed to combine practical modern living with light-filled open-plan accommodation and well-balanced bedroom space throughout. The property is entered via a spacious central hallway which immediately creates a strong sense of space and flow. To the front of the bungalow sits a generous principal bedroom complete with a contemporary en suite shower room and attractive bay window. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms are positioned opposite, making the layout ideal for downsizers, families, visiting guests or those seeking home office space. To the rear of the property, the home opens into a superb open-plan kitchen and dining space, designed very much as the heart of the home. With direct access out towards the garden, this is a space perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining alike. The kitchen itself is finished in a modern style with integrated appliances and ample storage, whilst the overall layout allows for a natural connection between cooking, dining and relaxing. A modern family bathroom, useful storage cupboard and private driveway parking complete the accommodation. The Development: Finches Park is positioned within Kirby Cross, moments from the highly sought-after coastal town of Frinton-on-Sea. Known for its sandy beaches, traditional seafront, independent shops and relaxed atmosphere, Frinton has long been considered one of Essex’s most desirable coastal destinations. The development also benefits from strong transport links, with Kirby Cross railway station providing convenient access towards Colchester and London Liverpool Street, making the area attractive for both permanent living and weekend coastal escapes. What We Love: Detached bungalows of this quality and specification are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly within established coastal locations. The balance of modern open-plan living, practical bedroom accommodation and the relaxed Frinton-on-Sea setting creates a lifestyle offering that will appeal to a wide range of buyers. ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718669) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718670) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718671) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718672) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718674) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718676) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718678) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718679) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718680) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718681) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718683) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718684) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718685) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718687) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718689) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718690) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718693) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718695) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718697) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718698) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718700) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718702) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718703) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718705) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88357911/718706) ## Floorplans - ![All](/listings/photos/88357911/718707) - All - ![3D floor plan](/listings/photos/88357911/718709) - 3D floor plan ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
