London Road, Billericay, Essex, CM12 9HJ

Set back nearly 100ft from the London Road, behind a wide greensward and with the front Drive and Garden itself nearly 60ft deep too, this 5 Bedroom Detached Chalet style House also offers great kerbside appeal, courtesy of a double height feature Gable, the majority glasswork and thus giving a stylish and contemporary twist to the front elevation.

Extended and transformed in 2008 via a two storey side extension along with roof and facade alterations, and with maximum light in mind, the result is a stylish and unique family home boasting a double height Hall looking up to a Galleried Landing, an impressive 19ft x 14ft Living Room with a semi-vaulted ceiling soaring upwards 15ft and a Hub-of-the-Home open plan Kitchen/Dining/Family Room across the back with bi-folding doors opening out to the 60ft x 45ft Garden.

A set of double doors off the Hall open to a ground floor 5th Bedroom Suite which includes an Ensuite Shower Room (perfect for elderly relatives or grown up kids wanting a bit of 'tucked away' privacy) and further features include a ground floor WC, useful Walk-in Utility/Store Room and two Bathrooms (Ensuite Shower Room and the Main Family Bathroom).

Billericay High Street with its central Waitrose Store is an easy 0.6 mile walk, with the 18 acres of 'Sun Corner' open space on the right as you stroll up the London Road.

Quilters Infants & Junior Schools with their 'Outstanding' OFSTED reports are just 0.7 mile away and open countryside is only moments away heading the opposite direction.

For the City Commuter, Billericay Railway Station with its Mainline link to London Liverpool Street Station (35 minute journey time) is exactly 1 mile away too.
