About

Ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers or investors, the property combines comfortable living space with a particularly generous rear garden and strong potential for personalisation.
The property opens into an entrance porch leading through to a central hallway, providing access to a contemporary fitted kitchen positioned at the front of the home.
The kitchen is well arranged with a range of modern units and ample workspace, making it both functional and efficient for everyday use.
To the rear, the spacious lounge forms the heart of the home, enjoying an abundance of natural light and direct access to the garden.
This creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, making it an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining.
To the first floor, the property offers two generously sized double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with built-in storage.
Both rooms are served by a family bathroom finished with a practical and modern suite.
Externally, the property benefits from a substantial private rear garden, featuring a patio area, lawn and mature boundary planting, providing excellent privacy and a versatile outdoor space.
Whether used for family enjoyment, gardening or entertaining, the garden is a standout feature of the home. A useful outbuilding offers additional storage or workshop potential.
The property is well positioned within easy reach of local amenities, schools, transport links and the historic Ongar High Street, which offers a range of independent shops, cafés and services.
This convenient yet well-established setting makes it an appealing choice for a wide range of buyers.
With its generous garden, well-proportioned rooms and scope for improvement, this property represents an excellent opportunity in a desirable location.
Secure This Property with Our Buyer Protection Reservation Scheme This property can be secured with an optional £2,500 reservation deposit, which forms part of the agreed purchase price and is not an additional fee.
The reservation agreement provides buyers with an exclusivity period, typically between 8 and 10 weeks, during which the seller agrees not to accept offers from other prospective purchasers.
Once the reservation deposit is paid, the property is removed from the market, significantly reducing the risk of gazumping.
This allows buyers to proceed with mortgage applications, surveys and conveyancing with increased confidence, helping to create a smoother and more secure purchasing process.
Early viewing is highly recommended.
