Wickford

A spacious 2400 sq ft family home in a quiet tucked away location

What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group

This property is a rare commodity…a deceptively spacious family home with an versatile detached outbuilding that offers potential for a work from home office or alternatively a self-contained annexe (stp). Being located within a five-minute drive of Wickford railway station will undoubtedly appeal to discerning commuters that require good access into London’s Liverpool Street.

What the Owners Say

We have loved living here, the ancillary accommodation really is versatile and could be utilised in a variety of ways to suit the incoming buyer. It’s going to be very hard to leave but we have decided to re-locate to the Essex/ Suffolk borders to be closer to friends and family and pass the baton onto the next family.

History & Background

This delightful family residence is believed to have been originally constructed in the 1990’s and really is as deceptively spacious as it is versatile. The welcoming entrance hall provides access to three generous reception rooms and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room that is ably complemented by the utility room and adjoining shower room.

The first floor enjoys a bright and airy, galleried landing that provides access to five generous, double bedrooms, three of which benefit from their own en suite facilities.

Externally the secluded grounds are a particular feature, with an expansive driveway to the front offering ample off street parking.

Ground Floor Accommodation

As you enter the property the elongated entrance hall offers an excellent space for your Christmas tree during the festive period and provides access to the kitchen/ breakfast room, a bright and airy dual aspect room with an array of units, useful breakfast bar and is complemented by the useful utility room across the hall. The impressive sitting room is situated in the rear with French doors offering views over the grounds and seamlessly flows into the dining room, whilst the study resides in the front elevation which if combined with the adjoining shower room could quite conceivably be utilised as a sixth bedroom that would be ideal for elderly relatives or teenager.

An elegant wooden staircase curves around to the first floor that benefits from an airy galleried landing and leads to the impressive principal bedroom suite, a generous double bedroom with a range of fitted wardrobe cupboards and en suite bathroom, whilst the remaining four bedrooms are all double rooms, two of which also enjoy their own spacious en suite bathrooms.
