2 3 2

Located on a semi-rural plot of approximately 0.34 acres (STS), this mid-century, detached family home offers accommodation comprising two reception rooms, kitchen, utility room, cloakroom, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The property also benefits from a double garage with inspection pit, off-road parking and gardens.


Benefitting from its semi-rural plot in the midst of the beautiful North Essex countryside, this detached family home offers spacious, well-presented accommodation over two floors.
The property is approached via a gravel driveway, which provides ample off-road parking and leads to both the garage and entrance door.
Once inside, an ample entrance hall provides a place in which to greet guests before moving through to the main living accommodation.
A dual aspect sitting room is located away from the main hubbub of a busy household and a calming place in which to relax at the end of a busy day. The addition of an inset wood burner adds warmth and ambience during the cooler months.
The adjacent dining room / family room has plenty of space for a large table - ideal for entertaining family and friends - and with double doors opening onto the terrace, the party can flow outside.
The kitchen is presented in classic off-white, providing plenty of space for food preparation. The adjoining utility room benefits from its own direct access to the garden.
A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, a spacious landing room offers more than just a pass-through to the bedrooms - and could be a lovely reading nook or useful study space.
The three bedrooms share use of a shower room and bathroom.
Outside, to the rear, beautifully landscaped gardens commence with a terrace - ideal for outside dining during the warmer months - with steps leading up to an expanse of lawn, interspersed and bordered by mature shrubs and trees - all enhanced by countryside views and glorious North Essex skies.
