About
A well-proportioned three-bedroom end-of-terrace home at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, offering over 1,000 sq ft of accommodation arranged across three floors, together with a private rear garden, single garage and driveway parking – a particularly useful combination for the development.
The property is approached via an entrance porch, opening into a spacious living room extending to almost 23ft at its longest point.
Windows to both the front and side allow plenty of natural light into the room, while there is also a useful ground-floor WC.
To the rear is a separate kitchen/dining room, providing a practical everyday living and entertaining space, with a door opening directly onto the garden.
On the first floor are two well-sized double bedrooms, with one having recently benefited from new carpeting and redecoration. Also on this level is a particularly generous shower room.
This space was formerly configured as a fourth bedroom before being converted by the current owners, creating a considerably larger and more functional bathroom arrangement.
The accommodation continues onto the second floor, where a further bedroom provides a versatile additional space, complemented by roof windows providing natural light and useful built-in storage.
Outside, the rear garden enjoys a good degree of privacy and is not directly overlooked from behind, with a paved patio providing space for seating before leading onto the lawn.
Being an end-of-terrace property, there is also convenient side access into the garden.
Another notable feature is the property's single garage, something not commonly available with homes on the development, measuring approximately 19'8" x 9'10".
A parking space immediately in front provides off-road parking alongside the garage.
Long Croft is situated within the popular village of Takeley, offering a good balance between village living and excellent connectivity.
The area provides a range of everyday amenities, local schooling including Takeley Primary School, and access to nearby countryside walks.
Bishop's Stortford and Great Dunmow are both within easy reach for a wider selection of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities.
For commuters, the location is particularly convenient for Stansted Airport, the A120 and M11, providing straightforward road connections towards London, Cambridge and the surrounding area.
Mainline rail services are also available from nearby Stansted Airport and Bishop's Stortford, with services towards London Liverpool Street and Cambridge.
Offering generous and flexible accommodation, a private garden and the significant benefit of both a garage and parking, this is a great opportunity for buyers looking for a well-located home in the heart of Takeley.
