About this property

**GUIDE PRICE £550,000-£575,000**

A landmark home in the heart of Rochford Market Square, this Grade II listed, 18th Century, semi detached house offers a rare blend of heritage, space and character. Once the National Westminster Bank over half a century ago, later known locally as The Old Watch House, and eventually cherished as a family residence, it stands today as one of South Street’s most historically significant properties; beautifully preserved and thoughtfully lived in across generations.

Inside, the home unfolds over approximately 2008 sq ft, rich with original features and atmospheric charm. The main lounge leads naturally into a cosy sitting area to the right, where a rear porch provides access to a convenient ground floor wet room. To the left, a generous family dining room connects to the kitchen, utility room and an additional ground floor WC, creating a practical and well balanced layout for everyday living. Upstairs, three double bedrooms offer integrated storage, complemented by a fourth single bedroom with its own cupboard and staircase leading to the loft; ideal for a growing family or those seeking extra space.

Outside, a gated, low maintenance courtyard garden sits peacefully to the rear, with side access from the left of the property and private parking for multiple vehicles beyond the courtyard; a rare advantage in such a central location. Positioned moments from Rochford train station with direct links into Central London, bus links into Southend and Rayleigh and just a five minute drive to Southend Airport and its retail park, the home is also surrounded by reputable local schools and the everyday convenience of Rochford’s historic market square.
