Property description

On the Market for the first time since it was purchased new in 1955 and then extended in 1971, this large 3 Bedroom Semi-detached Bungalow boasts a huge, wedge shaped rear Garden, the plot in total approaching 1/4 acre.

The property enjoys a super convenient location too. It's on the doorstep of Billericay High Street - a 5 minute stroll away, the green space of Sun Corner is even closer at 3-4 minutes, Quilters Infants & Junior Schools (both with Outstanding ofsted Reports) are a 10 minute walk and for the City Commuter, the Mainline Railway Station is also within walking distance at 0.7 mile.

Back to the property, the 1971 extension added on two new living rooms, a side Lobby and another Bathroom (fitted out as a large Shower Room), with the now present day accommodation comprising Hall, Lounge, Dining Room, Family Room with huge Patio Doors gazing out over the equally huge Garden, Kitchen, the three Bedrooms (the Master Bedroom the original Lounge, so again, another big oversized room), original Bathroom and the 2nd Shower Room.

The Solar panels we understand are fully owned (so some free electricity assuming they work - not tested), and externally there is also a detached Garage with a workshop behind, two sheds and a big Greenhouse.

As one can see, there is the huge potential to extend to the side, as well as going up into the roof space.

The Accommodation

Front Entrance Door with Side light windows leading through to:

Porch 1.65m x 1.1m (5ft 5' x 3ft 7')

A further large side window in addition to the glazing of the front door means the Porch is bathed in light, with a further glazed door leading through to:
Hall


18 feet long and with doors leading off to:

Dining room 3.8m x 3.3m (12ft 6' x 11ft)

Originally the rear master bedroom, then following the extension used as the dining room.

An 8ft wide opening with a couple of steps leads on to the:

Lounge 4.5m x 2.9m (14ft 9' x 9ft 5')

Part of the extension and with a large rear window bringing in plenty of light and enjoying a super outlook over the established Garden.

Looking up we also see the unusual feature the previous owner had incorporated within the extension, a vault in the ceiling with a front facing window, the south facing sunlight which comes through it, reflecting off copper tiles to bring even more sunlight into the room.

The ornate Fireplace, although in need of replacement, is Gas fired.

Family/day room 3.8m x 3.6m (12ft 6' x 11ft 9')

Nearly 8ft tall and 8ft wide, the eyes will immediately be drawn to the very large set of patio doors which opens out to the garden.

Like the lounge adjacent, both rooms enjoy ceilings stretching up nearly 9ft, with this one particularly well light well lit by those patio doors along with another large side facing window.

Kitchen 3.6m x 3.4m (11ft 9' x 11ft 3')

(The measurements exclude a slight door recess).

Fitted with a range of dated but functional, Medium Oak effect kitchen units incorporating a Neff Gas Hob sitting below a canopied Extractor Hood, built- in Neff Multi-function Double Oven/Grill, paces below for a washing machine and slimline dishwasher and a built-in Larder.

A large side facing window plus further glasswork and a doorway separating the kitchen from the Family Room brings in plenty of light.

Looking up as you enter the room, one spots the large oversized Loft hatch:
Loft


A huge area! Unmeasured but worthy of investigation when viewing the property.

Master bedroom 4.6m x 3.3m (15ft 2' x 11ft)

Formally the front lounge, now a super size bedroom, flooded in light from the 8ft wide front facing bay window.

Below the rug, we spot parquet flooring which is visible in two of the other bedrooms and the lounge (previous master bedroom) and so we can only presume it potentially runs under the hall carpet and the bathroom laminate flooring.

A range of bedroom furniture runs along two walls, providing a useful temporary storage facility.

Bedroom two 3m x 2.7m (9ft 10' x 8ft 9')

Presently with fitted wardrobes with sliding doors, which we feel once removed will give a greater impression of space to this front facing bedroom.

Bedroom three 2.6m x 2.4m (8ft 6' x 7ft 10')

A single bedroom with a side facing window.

Bathroom 2m x 1.8m (6ft 5' x 5ft 10')

Fitted with a coloured suite with a separate shower over the bath, fully tiled and with a side facing window.

Lobby (Off the Family Room)

A little lobby with its own external 'front door', accessing both the Shower room and the Family Room.

Shower room 2.6m narrowing to 1.5m x 2.2m (8ft 6' > 5ft x 7ft 4')

This fully tiled additional bathroom has a basin inset within a worktop with a run of cupboards below, a low level WC, Bidet, and a shower cubicle.

Two high-level windows provide plenty of daylight and a store cupboard on the right as you enter, hidden behind the door, opens to reveal the Ideal 'Mexico' floor standing Boiler, with a hot water tank above.

Detached garage 5.3m x 2.54m (17ft 3' x 8ft 4')

With an up & over door, a upvc double glazed window and a glazed courtesy door.

A 5ft wide opening at the end flows open plan into a rear area measuring 2.6m x 1.55m (8ft 6' x 5ft 1'). This area appears to be a brick built continuation of the garage.

A further doorway then leads into a lean-to wooden workshop measuring 2.3m x 2.3m (7ft 8' x 7ft 8'), albeit in probable need of immediate removal
Exterior - garden



There's an initial block paved patio with steps down to the main lawn.

This is a very big garden in sections: An initial Lawn with shrubs providing sectioning to next part, which is a large open lawn, almost like an orchard - with two rows of very neatly trimmed and individual 'heritage english' Apple & Pear trees.

To the rear left hand area there are two sheds and a big Greenhouse at the bottom.

There is the clear potential for leisure buildings, swimming pool or even a detached Annexe to be put in (removal of the garage could provide a drive leading down to one).
