Hornbeam Way, Basildon

Originally a Four Bedroom Detached House with three reception rooms and a Double Garage, this impressive family home has been significantly extended by way of a huge Loft Conversion, which has added another two big Bedrooms and a 'Jack & Jill' Shower Room, along with a large Conservatory. So it is now a big family friendly SIX Bedroom House.

The substantial accommodation and Garage is complimented by a generous five-car driveway and a 61ft x 35ft Garden with split-level patios and tiered lawns.

Downstairs, the well-planned Ground Floor has an Entrance Hall with laminate flooring extending on throughout the ground floor, a downstairs WC, spacious Lounge (nice proportions), separate Dining Room, a dual aspect (so light and bright) Study, huge 4 year old Conservatory (with a radiator for all year round use), and a sizeable Kitchen/Breakfast Room with contemporary 'Black Ash' kitchen units topped with solid wood worktops and a breakfast bar.

The six bedrooms are spread over the upper floors, served by an Ensuite off the Master Bedroom, the Main Family Bathroom and another Shower Room up on the top floor. Five of the six are excellent size doubles and even the smallest bedroom squeezes in a 4ft double bed.

A key feature is the Solar Panels and their accompany batteries, offering exceptional energy independence. This allows daytime electricity generation with excess power stored within the batteries for evening use, cloudy periods or of course power outages.
Another feature is the fairly new windows - installed in 2020,

Using its network of local paths, one can stroll to the local Costcutter Supermarket and bus stops in just minutes.
The A127 is just a 2-minute drive away giving easy access to London and the M25 one way, Southend the other. The very modern local Steeple View Memorial Hall is a voluntary run hall managed by Steeple View Community association, with things on most evenings - a good advert for a thriving local community.
