About
A rare opportunity to acquire this substantial 1930s Byford-built family home, offering over 2,000 sq. Ft.
Of character-filled accommodation, exceptional versatility, and exciting scope for further enhancement.
Occupying a generous plot with a large frontage and a private rear garden backing directly onto woodland and a nature reserve, this charming home enjoys a peaceful setting whilst remaining conveniently positioned for Hockley and on the borders of Rayleigh.
Brimming with original charm and enhanced by tasteful panelling and an abundance of character features, the property seamlessly blends period appeal with spacious family living.
An impressive entrance hall sets the tone, leading to two generous reception rooms, including a cosy sitting room centred around a striking log burner that also serves the adjoining lounge area, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.
The well-appointed kitchen is complemented by a separate utility room, while an office area provides an ideal work-from-home space with access to the versatile ground floor accommodation.
Bedroom four, complete with an adjoining dressing room, offers excellent flexibility as a guest suite, multi-generational living space, or additional reception room.
To the first floor are three spacious double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom.
Externally, the detached double garage presents outstanding potential for conversion into an annexe, home office, studio or gym (subject to the necessary consents), further enhancing the property's versatility.
The secluded rear garden provides a wonderful backdrop, backing directly onto woodland and a nature reserve, creating a tranquil setting ideal for families and those who enjoy the outdoors.
Combining generous proportions, period character, flexible accommodation and significant future potential, this is an exceptional family home in one of the area's most sought-after locations
