Fenn Road, Halstead, Essex

Set on an elevated plot with lovely front-facing views over open fields, this modern and recently updated family home is perfectly placed on the sought-after northern side of town. With a range of thoughtful improvements in the last couple of years—including a new boiler, log burner, and updated windows and doors—this home is ideal for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize without compromising on space or style.

As you approach the property, you’re welcomed by a generous 35ft (approx.) front garden that leads up to the front door. All the external windows and doors were replaced in November 2023, giving the home a fresh and modern finish from the outside in.

Inside, the hallway leads directly into a bright and spacious lounge on the right, where large windows flood the room with natural light and showcase open views over the fields beyond. A charming log burner, installed in February 2024, adds a cosy touch—perfect for relaxing on chillier evenings.

At the rear of the home, you’ll find a well-designed kitchen diner with plenty of cupboard and worktop space, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Off to the side, there’s a handy utility room/W.C. with plumbing for a washing machine. The kitchen is fully equipped with a fitted dishwasher, freezer, and a new fridge installed in March 2024. The cooker will also remain, making it easy to move straight in.

Upstairs, there are three good-sized bedrooms. The main bedroom is a spacious double with the bonus of a generous dressing room—this space could easily be converted into an en-suite in the future if desired. The second bedroom is another comfortable double and enjoys beautiful views stretching out towards Colne Engaine. The third bedroom is a well-sized single, perfect for a child’s room, guest space or even a home office.

The bathroom is surprisingly spacious, featuring a corner bath with shower and built-in storage cupboards, one of which houses the new boiler (installed November 2024 and still under warranty). There’s also a fully boarded loft, offering even more storage.

Outside, the 120ft approx west-facing rear garden is split into three tiers, making the most of the afternoon and evening sun. The first tier is a patio seating area right off the house, followed by a lawn on the second level. At the top, there’s a raised decking area along with a versatile outbuilding that could be transformed into a home office, gym or studio space down the line.

With a population of over 11,000 Halstead has grown steadily and schools are of a high standard and the town boasts local health facilities including a hospital and medical centre.
