London Road, Crays Hill, Billericay, CM11 2UY

As the A129 winds its way from Billericay to Wickford, it passes through the pretty village of Crays Hill (also known as Ramsden Crays), where this incredibly spacious 4-bedroom Detached House sits back from the main road, facing the open farmland opposite, the open countryside rolling up towards Ramsden Bellhouse.

As well as enjoying a lovely semi-rural front outlook, the property also boasts a huge 147ft Garden and superb living space - the centrepiece of the well presented accommodation a huge south facing Orangery across the back of the house, in addition to its large Hall with refitted Cloakroom, Lounge with a freestanding Faber Vico 'Log Burner' Gas Fire providing a super focal point, a very big Dining Room, large sociable Kitchen/Breakfast Room, lockable door off the Hall to the oversized integral Garage and four jumbo sized bedrooms served by an equally large Family Bathroom with both a Bath and a separate Double Shower.

The windows are double glazed and there is full Gas Central Heating via radiators.

A large 7-Car Drive (ideal for Motorhomes or Caravans) compliments the 13ft wide integral Garage, which of course offers conversion potential.

CRAYS HILL village itself has a handy 'Premier' convenience store supplying the daily essentials and, in the evenings, and weekends, why not stroll along to the great local pub/restaurant called The Shepherd and Dog, which has a beer garden and large patio - it does good food and quite a range of beers/ales. Bus Stops in the village give easy access to the neighbouring towns of Billericay & Wickford - both with Mainline Railway Stations (London Liverpool Street in 35 minutes from Billericay). Plus, just up the road is the Barleylands Farm Shop, which sells fresh fruit, vegetables, and a large selection of groceries.

The A127 is little more than a two-minute drive away giving access to Southend, London and the M25.
