Station Road, Earls Colne, Essex

Particular features include a substantial sitting room incorporating a garden room, separate dining room and lots of parking with potential to stable a motor home (subject to size). The property has been well cared for and there is potential to expand the living accommodation still further through conversion of the garage or use of the loft room (subject to planning permission and/or building regulation approval). The bungalow is conveniently located for village amenities including two village general purpose stores, the golf club, bus stops and other important amenities.

There are bi-fold doors from the entrance hall leading to stairs which in turn rise to the attic room (the stairs are quite steep and feature a narrow treads). The attic is a very useful area with plenty of storage potential and recesses, and a Velux skylight type window for natural lighting.

The sitting room has been extended and incorporates the original formal sitting area with fireplace in sandstone with hearth surround and inset electric fire. The sitting room opens to form a garden viewing area which overlooks the rear garden and features French doors to the patio and windows across the rear for a very pleasant view of the delightful rear garden. The main bedroom is of generous size and features very useful full width and height wardrobes providing an excellent amount of storage and hanging space, and window to front. The second bedroom is a double bedroom and features a window to the front elevation. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite and complemented by a tiled floor area and walls incorporating a double ended bath and back to the wall furniture incorporating low level WC and hand wash basin. The dining room has also been extended and over looks the rear gardens with windows to rear. There is a useful storage cupboard and access through to a rear lobby. The rear lobby provides access to the shower room with shower cubicle, low level WC and hand wash basin.
