Enjoying an orangery to link the accommodation and create social open Plan living space, this four bedroomed ex show house, occupies a favourable position on this small modern development to taking advantage of the open views that are to the front and the side.
Since construction in 2006, this house has been subject to many well thought out improvements, these have included LED spot lighting, a new Valliant gas boiler, a useful porch addition and electric roller doors fitted to the carports and garaging.
As you will see from the photos, there are notable points to many of the rooms that are available here. The four first floor bedrooms are all of a decent size, the main bedroom has an en-suite shower room and two built-in double wardrobes, while the second bedroom, again has built-in wardrobes and storage but also double doors with a Juliet balcony looking over the adjoining open land.
It's surprising the difference the porch extension and orangery has made to the ground floor living space. It enables the dining room to now double up as a second TV room while the lounge and kitchen, which was only refitted at the end of last year both enjoy a fantastic feeling of space and functionality that in turn gives this house a lovely family/entertainment area.
As mentioned, this property was the original showhouse and it sits at the front of the development enjoying a west facing rear garden, a good-sized front garden area and a driveway which in turn leads to the enclosed carport/garaging/workshop which measures an impressive 15.2 m in depth (49'9)
Ramsden Heath itself is a popular village with an active community, a local primary school and two great pubs that cater for all. The neighbouring town of Billericay has a mainline link to Liverpool Street – 35 minutes and there are peak time NIB's buses travelling to and from the railway station which we believe are still running.
All in all, this type of property is a rarity to come available and we would recommend it for consideration.

A bit of history
Ramsden Bellhouse and Ramsden Heath are now two separate villages, but until the first part of the 20th Century they were one village, which stretched from Stock in the north to Nevendon in the south.
The village was centered around the crossroads, where today the war memorial stands, in front of the White Horse Pub.
Confusingly it was known back then as Ramsden Bellhouse with Ramsden Heath simply an area of heathland to the north of the village.
About 1910 Homesteads Ltd bought Ramsden Bellhouse Farm and built an estate centre around St. Mary's Church about a mile from the old village which became known as Ramsden Bellhouse, and gradually the old village became Ramsden Heath.
