The property has the benefit of a thoughtfully landscaped 110' southerly rear garden, which can be enjoyed from the open plan kitchen/dining/family area that is situated at the rear of the house. Shenfield mainline railway station and Brentwood School are both within a mile of this appealing family home.

From beneath a sheltered entrance, a feature oak front door opens to the entrance hall. This property has the benefit of three well proportioned reception rooms. The sitting room is of an ideal size for formal entertaining and draws light from a window that overlooks the extensive garden to the front of the property. A central focal point is a feature wooden carved fireplace. The wood panelling and feature herringbone style floor contribute to an impression of character. The study is situated at the front of the house and provides a work station for two people. This will perfectly suit those who work from home.

The living room is open to the kitchen/dining area and also has the advantage of the original feature herringbone flooring that can be found in the sitting room. The painted wood panelled wall adds interest and the French doors open to the southerly rear garden terrace.

The kitchen area is contemporary in style and has been fitted with a striking black gloss range of units that comprise base cupboards, drawers and matching wall cabinets. This is contrasted with a wood block effect worktop and upstand. Integrated appliances to remain include an AEG electric double oven with electric Siemens hob above and stainless steel extractor unit over. Integrated dishwasher and Siemens under counter fridge to remain. This area is illuminated by a window to the side. The dining area can comfortably accommodate a table to seat eight people and from here views of the garden can be enjoyed. French doors open to the rear garden. The utility room is adjacent, with space and plumbing for domestic appliances. External access via a side door.

There is a conveniently positioned shower room on the ground floor level, to ideally suit modern family life.

On the first floor level there are four double bedrooms that are serviced by two tastefully appointed bath/shower rooms; one of which is incorporated into the primary bedroom suite. Accommodation is bright and spacious throughout and a staircase discreetly ascends to the second floor level. The second floor of this property is a very versatile area and at present comprises one large open space. Some may chose to use this area as a games room, though it is worth noting that the plumbing is already in situ for a fourth bath/shower room, if a fifth bedroom suite were required.

Externally, the rear garden is a particularly attractive feature. As previously mentioned, it has a southerly elevation, so is in sunshine throughout the entire day. The rear garden measures approximately 110ft in depth and has a width of 32ft. In fact, the overall plot measures 0.159 acre. Across the rear of the property is a paved garden terrace, of an ideal size for summer barbecues and outside entertaining. The remainder of the garden is laid to a well tended lawn. The current owner is a very keen gardener and has thoughtfully landscaped the garden with a varied and interesting assortment of mature plants, shrubs and trees, many of which are spring flowering, such as hydrangeas, phlox, verbena, an acer tree and red robin, to name just a few. To the far end of the garden is a decked area constructed in front of a greenhouse and adjacent is an outbuilding where gardening equipment and useful storage space can be found.

The property is set 60ft back from the lane and accessed via deep tarmacadam driveway that provides spacious off street parking. The remainder of the garden has been laid to lawn with brick edging and is screened by mature red robin and planted with lavender and ornamental grasses.
