All the convenience of a suburban location with added countryside, this contemporary and stylish 4 Bedroom (although presently arranged as 3 Bedrooms) Detached Home boasts a Detached Double Garage and enjoys a very convenient setting just 0.8 mile (16 minute walk) from Billericay Railway Station and with open space incorporating farmland and woodland literally opposite the house.
The current Vendors have knocked through two of the bedrooms to make one huge 2nd Bedroom, in addition to the equally large existing Master Bedroom. Even the third bedroom is a good size double, as it was originally the second principal bedroom. (A simple plasterboard timber stud wall could turn this back so easily into a 4 Bedroom Home if required).
In brief, the accommodation comprises an Entrance Hall with a ground floor WC Room and gorgeous wood flooring that extends into the three reception rooms, a spacious Lounge with bi-folding doors opening out to the landscaped Garden which features a Hot-Tub, large formal Dining Room, separate Study, stunning luxury Kitchen with light grey handleless units topped with Quartz worktops and incorporating a host of Siemens appliances, the three very generously sized Bedrooms and two Bathrooms (one Ensuite to the Master Bedroom).
The Garden has been landscaped with minimal maintenance/maximum entertaining in mind, the full width Patio & Hut Tub demanding friends and good wine during the summer months.
A double width Drive sits in front of the detached Double Garage which also could offer further potential.
The property forms part of an ever popular development called 'The Hawthorns', which was built in the late 1990's by Laing Homes, targeting the City Commuter because of its close proximity to the Billericay Mainline Railway Station, whizzing you to London Liverpool Street in just 35 minutes.
In addition to the open countryside the property fronts on to, just a short walk away are the shops at the 'Gooseberry Green' roundabout which include a Sainsburys 'Local' and the Inn on the Green Pub,
Brightside Primary School is also an easy walk for the kids and Lake Meadows Park is only 0.6 mile - a 11 minute stroll.
The Accommodation
Front Door with adjacent sidelight window leading through to:
Hall
Adding warmth and character, the attractive wood flooring extends into the Lounge, Dining Room, Study, and ground floor WC.
Useful storage is provided within the under stairs cupboard and looking up we see a smooth plastered ceiling, as found throughout this modern home.
Ground floor WC room
Fitted with white cloakroom suite comprising a wall mounted basin and close coupled WC and with a small side facing window giving natural light.
Lounge 4.8m x 4.75m (15ft 8' x 15ft 7')
A lovely, spacious main living room with the eyes drawn to the swish bi-folding doors, which open wide bringing the outside in during the warm summer months.
The second focal point is the Portuguese Limestone Fireplace with its inset gas fire.
Dining room 3.6m x 2.8m (11ft 8' x 9ft 4'
A good size, formal Dining Room with plenty of room for an eight seater table and chairs.
Study 2.9m x 2.6m (9ft 6' x 8ft 6')
The perfect office for working from home, with a front facing window and upon the wall the electrical consumer unit.
Kitchen 3.9m x 2.7m (12ft 10' x 8ft 10')
Fitted with a range of sleek light grey 'handleless' units topped with 'White Marble' Quartz worktops and incorporating a host of Siemens appliances.
These comprising a 5-Ring Induction Hob sitting below a matching stainless steel Chimney style Extractor Hood, Twin iQ700 Built-in '3D hot air' multi-function Ovens, an integrated matching Dishwasher, an iQ300 Washer/Dryer, and the impressive Fisher and Paykel American style food centre with its full width top fridge and deep pull-out freezer drawer below, will be remaining.
Finishing specification includes a 'magic corner pull out storage system' on one side and a corner carousel shelving system to the other corner, deep pan drawers, under mounted ceramic sink, LED plinth lighting and large 'grey stone' look ceramic floor tiles.
Hidden within one of the matching eye level cupboards is the Ideal 'Logic 815' Boiler.
Stairs from Hall rising to:
1st floor landing
The airing cupboard houses the hot water cylinder and a loft hatch accesses the roof space.
Master bedroom 4.5m x 4.4m (14ft 9' x 14ft ')
A spacious principal bedroom enjoying a fabulous view over the countryside opposite and on the left as you enter, there are two large built-in wardrobes.
Ensuite 2.95m x 1.65m (9ft 8' x 5ft 5')
Plenty big enough to be a bathroom, presently arranged as a very large, fully tiled Shower Room.
At the far end is the large walk in Shower with an Aqualisa shower, the white ceramics comprising a basing with pedestal and a close coupled WC.
There is a front facing window for lots of natural light, inset downlighting and a chrome towel radiator.
Bedroom two 4.9m x 2.8m (16ft 1' x 9ft 1')
It is important to remember that this property was originally built as a four bedroom detached house.
So, Bedroom Two is the result of the opening up of bedrooms three and four, to create one supersize second main bedroom.
(It would be of course very straightforward to erect a simple plasterboarded partition wall to put it back to a four bedroom if desired, as the two radiators and windows of course remain)
As it is, it's a large bedroom enjoying a pleasant, quiet outlook over the gardens beyond, the Willow Tree in the back garden providing a lovely green backdrop.
Bedroom three 3.8m x 2.6m (12ft 4' x 8ft 6')
Originally the Bedroom Two, so a decent size double bedroom with a large built-in double wardrobe.
Bathroom 2.6m x 2m (8ft 5' x 6ft 5')
A generous size family bathroom with the white three-piece suite complimented by shiny black and white wall tiles and black marble effect floor tiles.
The side window provides plenty of natural daylight, there is inset downlighting and a chrome curved towel radiator.
Exterior - front
The private block paved Road gently rolls onto the Double Width block paved Drive in front of the Detached Double Garage, with the balance landscaped with minimal maintenance in mind. This of course could be used as additional parking if desired.
Double garage 5.3m x 5.1m (17ft 5' x 16ft 10')
With twin up and over doors, a side courtesy door, power sockets and a light. The pitched roof provides a super storage option.
Exterior - rear garden
Beautifully landscaped.
The huge Patio beckons al fresco dining, afternoon BBQ's and evening entertaining during the warm summer months. And tucked away in its own decked corner, relax in the bubbling Hot Tub which will be remaining.
Retained by chunky sleepers, the deep borders have been thoughtfully stocked with a vast array of plants and young trees including an Acer, Cherry, Fig & Willow.
