About
*Initial offers are invited between £1,000,000 - £1,100,000* A very appealing and extended four-bedroom detached family house, with additional scope to enlarge and improve, subject to the usual planning consents.
The property is ideally situated, in a most pleasant position within the Shenfield Place development.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, the house is within short walking distance of Shenfield Mainline Railway station and Crossrail terminus and falls within the St.
Mary's and Shenfield High School catchment areas. The property comprises a total of 2,077 square feet of well-proportioned and balanced accommodation.
The sitting room is bright and spacious, drawing maximum light from glazed doors that open to the very good-sized garden to the rear. A fireplace makes an attractive focal point.
The dining room is conveniently situated between the sitting room and the utility/breakfast room. It is illuminated by a feature bay window that offers central views of the secluded rear garden.
The kitchen and breakfast/utility room are connected, and it is worth considering that these two areas could quite conceivably be incorporated, if a more open plan arrangement of accommodation were to be desired.
In fact, this property does still offer considerable scope to enlarge, both on the ground and first floor levels, (subject to planning permission).
The utility/breakfast room has a door that opens to the rear garden and a connecting door to the integral large garage.
There is a ground floor cloakroom and a study, situated at the front of the house, that will ideally suit those that work from home.
The first floor currently comprises four bedrooms, all of which could accommodate a double bed, if required.
The primary bedroom is particularly spacious and has the benefit of an en-suite shower room. The other three bedrooms are serviced by a second shower room.
It is worth noting that both bedrooms two and four flank a very substantial eaves storage cupboard. This area might prove useful if considering a first-floor extension, above the garage area.
Externally, the rear garden is a particularly attractive feature. It measures within 53’ in depth, by approximately 52’ in width. In fact, the overall plot extends to 0.167 acre.
Running across the rear of the property is a paved terrace and this extends to one side to incorporate an ornamental kidney shaped pond.
The remainder of the garden is largely laid to lawn and is this is bordered on all three boundaries by a mature array of shrubs, plants and trees, that serve to offer a good degree of privacy and seclusion.
To the far corner is a garden shed, that shall remain. There is access via the side of the house to the front garden. The house is set back from the road.
A deep tarmacadam driveway with brick edging offers plentiful off-street parking and leads to the garage. The garden is laid to lawn, flanked on both side boundaries by mature trees and hedgerow.
A well-stocked flower bed at the front has been planted with an attractive array of shrubs and plants.
