Pleasant Drive, Billericay, Essex, CM12 0JL

A huge, light filled rear extension has created a stunning 'Hub-of-the-Home' Kitchen/Dining/Family space to this modern, 4 Bedroom Semi-detached Laing Home, built to their 'Hutton' design and situated on the ever popular 'The Hawthorns' development, a sought after commuter estate enjoying all the convenience of a suburban location with added countryside next door to the estate.

The Mainline Railway Station is an easy 0.8 mile stroll with local shops including a Sainsburys 'Local' en route at the halfway point, and Brightside Primary School with its good OFSTED rating, is just 0.5 mile.

Literally a stone's throw from open countryside, the property itself is tastefully presented throughout, with the accommodation briefly comprising an Entrance Hall with adjoining WC Room, 5m square Lounge, the aforementioned 7.2m x 5.8m max open plan Kitchen/Dining/Family Room, large separate Utility Room, new Study (part of the Garage conversion), the four bedrooms and both an Ensuite Shower Room off the Principle Bedroom and the main Family Bathroom.

A confection of flooring types including large, polished porcelain floor tiling in the kitchen/dining/family area, sleek contemporary radiators and custom made wooden Plantation Shutters to the replacement upvc windows, add to the White Gloss and Quartz kitchen units, to create a hugely impressive lifestyle home worthy of an internal viewing to avoid disappointment.


The Accommodation


HALL

Attractive wood effect flooring.


GROUND FLOOR WC ROOM

A refitted suite including a stylish wood grain Vanity unit with basin on top and double cupboard below.

Also with a shiny chrome radiator, stylish contemporary tiling, and attractive light grey porcelain floor tiles.


LOUNGE 16ft 3" x 15ft 9" narrowing to 13ft (5m x 4.8m > 4m)

The front facing window brings in plenty of light and there's a handy under stairs cupboard.


A set of glazed double doors lead through to:


OPEN PLAN KITCHEN/DINING/FAMILY ROOM 23ft 6" x 19ft max (7.2m x 5.8m)

This light filled contemporary living space sees the kitchen area centred around a large Island as you enter, leading onto the full width extension providing room for a large dining table and the sellers sofa facing large wall mounted TV in the family area.

Two sets of folding doors and quadruple skylights positively bathe the room in mood boosting west facing sunshine.

'Dove Grey' Shaker style kitchen units topped with Quartz worktops gives a timeless elegance and incorporate a host of appliances and storage features for the keen cook.

There is a NEFF Induction Hob with a wide Chimney style Extractor Hood above, matching NEFF 'Slide&Hide®' Multi-function Oven with built in Combination Microwave/Oven above, an Integrated Dishwasher, built-in Wine Cooler and a large space within the units for a large American style fridge/freezer.

The large Island unit incorporates a 4-Seater Breakfast Bar too.

Further features include underfloor heating, a Mitsubishi 'Heat and Cool' Air-Conditioner and large, shiny porcelain floor tiling.


UTILITY ROOM 8ft 10' x 7ft 3' (2.7m x 2.2m)

The white high gloss units coupled with gorgeous textured wood effect workshops (incorporating a gleaming kitchen sink) and white 'Metro' splashback tiling give a bright modern look.

One will notice the recesses for the washing machine and tumble dryer are up high out of children's reach. We understand they have concrete blocks under each one, so they rest solid with no vibration - a thoughtful and clever idea.


Discreet door through to:


STUDY 9ft 9" x 8ft 5" (3m x 2.5m)

Tucked out of the way for peace and quiet and with a front facing window, this versatile room has attractive wood laminate flooring and a full height built in cupboard housing the Worcester Greenstar 36cd combination boiler serving the gas central heating and hot water.


1st FLOOR LANDING

A nice spacious landing with two built in cupboards (one formally the airing cupboard and with the boiler now changed to a combination boiler, freed up for use as even more storage).

Looking up, we see a ceiling hatch providing access to the Loft space. We noted next door has done a loft conversion, so clearly this is an option for you too - a cost-effective way to add another bedroom if desired.


MASTER BEDROOM 12ft 5" x 9ft (3.8m x 2.7m)

We were quite impressed by the new built in wardrobes - bespoke hand built and professionally sprayed with Farrow and Ball's 'Elephant's Breath', a mid-grey with a hint of magenta.

Up on the wall is a 2 1/2 year old 'Heat & Cool' Air-Conditioner and this room has its own private Ensuite Shower Room too.


ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM 8ft 9' max x 4ft 9" max (2.7m x 1.5m)

Featuring a Power Shower, tall chrome towel radiator, attractive wood effect flooring and with a window giving natural light.


BEDROOM TWO 11ft 4' x 9ft

Another good size double bedroom, also boasting a 'Heat & Cool' Air Conditioner.

Again, the same Carpenter who did the fitted wardrobe in bedroom one has been at work inside the double wardrobe here. All very nicely fitted out with shelving and drawers.


BEDROOM THREE 11ft 8' x 7ft 8' (3.6m x 2.3m)

Yet another double bedroom, this one also with a built-in double wardrobe, and with a pleasant dusky pink colour scheme on the walls, picking up perfectly with the light grey carpet.


BEDROOM FOUR 7ft 4" min x 6ft 6" (2.2m x 2m)

Currently fitted out as dressing room with fitted wardrobes along the left wall with mirrored doors and fitted drawers along the right wall.


BATHROOM 7ft 7' x 5ft 6' (2.3m x 1.7m)

A very stylish bathroom with grey 'split face Slate' effect tiling around the feature 'ShowerBath', a freestanding Grey wood effect Vanity unit, chrome 'Heritage' towel radiator, chrome shaver socket, and a mirror fronted bathroom cabinet.


EXTERIOR

Artificial grass has replaced the original front lawn for minimal maintenance and is big enough that it could take small car if one wanted to convert to additional parking.

There is a block paved Front Drive and always plenty of spaces around for additional visitor parking.

The Rear Garden has also been designed with low maintenance, having a large full width slate look patio which extends to a path running along the right-hand side of the garden to a further patio at the end. Again we see another section of artificial grass having replaced the original lawn.
