This detached home sits within a sought-after, convenient residential area ideally close to the town, station and both Quilters and Billericay School, and with approx. xxxx sqft of accommodation, you will have the space you need for family demands and gatherings for many years to come.
Downstairs, the style and functionality of this home is evident the minute you walk in the door. Wood-veneered flooring pairs nicely with the neutral décor, and from the hallway, you have double doors opening to the large and naturally well-lit lounge. Beyond this, an additional door opens to the impressive full-width kitchen diner, which in turn has an adjoining garden room, home office, plus its very own and superbly fitted out utility room.
The kitchen was planned and fitted by Wren Kitchens. The dark blue cabinets are topped with white quartz tops and conceal integrated appliances.
This same style of cabinet and top flows seamlessly into the utility room, which also has a fabulous, once-had-and-forever-missed walk-in corner pantry cupboard, all shelved out and ready to be filled.
As mentioned, adjoining the kitchen diner you also have a home office/playroom and a superb garden room sporting a tiled roof, smooth plaster ceilings, inset spotlights and a bar area ready for the party to begin. This entire ground floor is a particularly inviting space with good use of natural tones giving a spacious, airy feel throughout.
Upstairs, you have four bedrooms three with fitted wardrobes and one of which is currently utilised and fitted out as a dressing room. In addition, it also boasts an en suite shower room and a luxury fitted bathroom fitted by Luck and Fuller, located in our very own High Street. Again, neutral décor and carpets run throughout the first floor and give a calm feel to the environment.
Outside, you will notice the driveway is double width and extends to the side of the house, whilst the garage, with an electric roller door, is maybe too small for a car but plenty big enough for everything else! Lastly, the garden is unoverlooked and enjoys a curved patio providing plenty of room for lounging garden furniture and sofas for entertaining.
ACCOMODATION AS FOLLOWS..
HALLWAY
Wood flooring extends through the hall and into both the lounge and the dining area of the kitchen.
This hallway affords good natural light from the multi-pane glazed double doors and side panels that take you into the living room.
CLOAKROOM
This is possibly the first of the restyled rooms you will encounter while looking around this house.
Firstly, a sensor light gives an extra level of convenience to this room, which has a white suite with push-button WC and a wall-mounted hand basin, both of which contrast nicely with the black tap furniture, heated towel rail and white tiled walls with black coloured grout.
LOUNGE
There is a lovely spacious feeling to this room. It enjoys a great amount of natural light from the two front windows, one of which includes a walk-in bay window.
There is also a fire surround with gas fire and a second set of double doors that open to the dining area of the kitchen.
KITCHEN DINER
Being naturally divided by a combination of both wood and tiled flooring, this is a generously sized space, emphasised by the open access into the sun lounge, which also gives you the opportunity of accommodating a 16+-seater dining table for big family get-togethers.
The kitchen was fitted and planned by Wren. Dark blue shaker-style units with white quartz worktops extend across three areas and incorporate a breakfast bar for four stools.
Within these cabinets, you have a built-in dishwasher, a Bosch double oven and five-ring hob, and a fridge and freezer. There is also an under-counter one-and-a-half bowl sink unit, a large understairs cupboard, and a window and door out to the garden.
UTILITY ROOM
The vinyl tile floor extends from the kitchen straight into the open adjoining utility. You also have the continuity of the Wren-fitted kitchen with white quartz worktops to ensure both areas blend as one.
This utility is another well-planned space. As well as room for an American-style fridge freezer, a washing machine and boot store, the storage cabinets incorporate a must-have' walk-in corner pantry cupboard, fitted out with shelving and recesses so your inner Stacey Solomon organisational skills can be let loose!
STUDY/HOME OFFICE/PLAY ROOM
A versatile room that will adapt as your family dynamics demand. With a side window and wood flooring, this is a good, usable space currently utilised as a home office and gym.
FAMILY ROOM/OPEN LIVING SPACE
What was once a conservatory, thanks to a solid insulated and tiled roof plus radiators connected to the main heating system, this is now a functional all-year-round room.
With continuity of the wood flooring and a smooth plaster ceiling with inset spotlights, this everyday fun space could accommodate a pool table, sofas, TV and much, much more.
LANDING
With a high stairwell, the carpeted landing area has doors opening to each of the bedrooms and the bathroom.
BEDROOM ONE
Looking onto the front, this good-sized bedroom with smooth plastered ceiling and built-in wardrobes also has a door opening to the en suite shower room.
EN SUITE SHOWER ROOM
Just like the bathroom, this has been refitted by Luck and Fuller, based up on Billericay High Street.
The white suite and complementary fittings including a wall-hung storage cabinet and a Bluetooth LED mirror give a stylish edge.
The suite consists of a wash basin with vanity unit, a push-button WC and a large walk-in shower cubicle with drench head and hand attachment.
BEDROOM TWO
This double bedroom faces to the front and has built-in mirror-fronted wardrobes.
BEDROOM THREE
Another double bedroom, and this one is rear-facing.
BEDROOM FOUR
Normally the fourth single room, this is currently utilised as a dressing room and enjoys fitted wardrobes to two walls, with space for a dressing unit.
BATHROOM
Another stylish bathroom fitted by Luck and Fuller, and this one featuring a masterclass in tiling.
The white suite consists of a tile-enclosed bath with central mixer taps and shower attachment with drench head over.
Above the bath are three recessed shelving areas with feature LED lighting. There's also a push-button WC and vanity unit with mixer taps, a shaver point and another Bluetooth LED illuminated mirror behind.
In addition, there is a chrome heated towel rail, inset spotlights, and a rear window.
OUTSIDE
FRONT
There is a good-sized driveway that comes with this house, and it extends to the side of the house, giving parking for several vehicles. To the side of the house is also an EV charging point.
GARAGE
Accessed by what is considered to be a more secure door, the electric roller door gives access to a slightly reduced-size garage, which will be too small for most cars but will be plenty big enough for what you usually find in a garage.
REAR GARDEN
Commencing with a neatly paved, irregular-shaped patio with ample space for entertaining and lounging, the remainder of this easy-to-maintain garden with established rear borders giving a good degree of privacy is mainly lawn.
To the side of the house is space for a shed, and this is where there is also an EV charging point.

Billericay is a popular, historic market town just 30 miles from London.
The market at the top of Crown Road disappeared years ago and Billericay nowadays is more well-known as an excellent commuter town, with excellent rail links to the City (35 minutes by train), very good schools and a charming High Street, part of which is a conservation area.
It also has great access to the key main roads of the M25, A12 and A127.
The town lies on the edge of rural Essex, which makes it a very desirable place to live. This coupled with the City access goes some way to explain the high levels of Londoners we see looking to move here every year.
Since I moved here in 1973 and started as an estate agent in the mid 1990's, I have seen the town grow to where it is now, with some 14,000-15,000 homes and a population of over 40,000.
The Billericay you see today is economically and physically a thriving and attractive place to live and work. There are many open green spaces including the 40 acre Lake Meadows Park, a must in summer, and they throw a pretty impressive Fireworks Night too.
Norsey Woods is a great place for a walk or to exercise your dogs...or the kids! It dates back to the Bronze Age and covers about 165 acres with a visitor centre for the educational visits it has too.
I remember camping there as a cub scout back in the day and both Nick and myself have enjoyed many a afternoon there over the years with our families.
The High Street must be one of the prettiest in the county and dates back to Roman times. The shape we see now certainly hasn't changed much for over 500 years, our office itself is part of one of the 25 old coaching inns the town has seen over the years!
With well over 100 shops including some well known names and some boutique locally owned ones, the High Street also has some great pubs, bars and restaurants. The Chequers is probably the most popular, most people we know rate it as the best pub in town, with newer bars like Harrys Bar, Bar Zero and the Blue Boar, also very sought after, growing venues on friday and saturday nights.
There are too many great restaurants to name, suffice to say you don't need to travel out of Billericay to have a fantastic night out and there's a taxi rank by the station to get you home if you want to leave the car on the drive.
Waitrose is our local main supermarket with there also a very good Co-op over on Queens Park. Smaller supermarkets over in South Green, Sunnymede and along Stock Road also provide a super local service in their areas.
Billericay Christmas Market is a very popular annual event which sees the High Street completely shut to traffic for the day and then filled with stalls selling anything and everything Christmasy!
All the local schools, both Primary and Secondary have good OFSTED reports and there is a good choice of both State and Private. Please feel free to contact our office for more details although the OFSTED website is the ideal first port of call of course.
A BIT OF HISTORY
Billericay has an facinating history, much of which can be researched in our local museum, the Cater Museum on the High Street.
Billericay was first recorded as Byllerica in 1291 with notable events including a Peasants Revolt ending up in Norsey Woods in 1381 and some of Billericay residents, including Christopher Martin, the ship's victualler, sailing with the Pilgrim Fathers to the 'New World' of America on the Mayflower in 1620 - hence the many representartions of the Mayflower ship in numerous local businesses and the Mayflower High School.
In 1916 Billericay became famous as a result of a Zeppelin airship crashing in flames on the outskirts of the town, down what is now Greens Farm Lane.
A union workhouse was built in 1840 which later, together with additional later built buildings, became St. Andrew's Hospital in the 1930s. The regional plastic surgery and rehabilitation unit was opened here the same year I moved to Billericay, 1973. Many a local will still refer the estate there now to me, as 'one of the houses on the old Burns Unit', although it is in fact Stockfield Manor now.
Only the original workhouse building, including the chapel, and the main gatehouse, now survive, converted now into Grey Lady Place, a residential development of luxury apartments.
The railway came in 1889 and opened up opportunities for landowners to sell plots to Londoners looking to move out of 'The Smoke' into a cleaner rural environment. Both myself and Nick have sold many an old 'plot land' home over the years for redevelopment. A few still remain on the edge of Norsey Woods down Break Egg Hill.
With the housing shortage created by the war time bombing of London, pressure to build was great and the new town of Basildon was given the green light. The 'Green Belt' stopped expansion and the blurring of Basildon and Billericay, hence why lot of the Billericay housing estates were built on abandoned farmland around the town centre and Great Burstead/South Green, where permission was more easily granted.
