This 1950's built house extends to 4,160 square feet of well proportioned accommodation that comprises five bedrooms, four bath/shower rooms, four reception rooms and a magnificent hand crafted classic shaker style open plan kitchen/breakfast room and utility room. The south westerly plot measures 0.302 acre and the property is just a short and pleasant walk to Shenfield mainline railway station and Crossrail terminus.

A ground floor WC has been tastefully refitted with feature marble style tiling. A staircase rises to the first floor. Like the entire house, the drawing rom is bright and spacious, illuminated by large windows that face the front and side elevations, plus the French doors that open to the rear garden sun terrace. A central focal point is a splendid marble fireplace with ornate grate and inset coal effect gas fire. The feature polished herringbone-style hardwood parquet flooring continues from the entrance hall into the drawing room and also into the dining room. The dining room is conveniently situated between the drawing room and kitchen breakfast room, drawing maximum light from a window that overlooks the well screened and south westerly garden to the rear. The sitting room offers an informal alternative to the drawing room and would serve as an excellent children's play room, if required.

This modern designer kitchen delivers a truly luxurious experience.

This well designed utility room provides a washing machine, tumble dryer, sink, a boot room area fitted with extra storage for shoes and coats and even additional pantry space. Doors connect the utility room to the oversized double garage and the rear garden.

The first floor landing extends virtually the entire width of the house and draws light from windows to both the front and side elevations.
