Outwood Common Road, Billericay, Essex, CM11 2LH

A superb development project that's bursting with potential!

Well priced for a quick sale, this 3 Bedroom Semi has no central heating and is in need of a full programme of refurbishment, however this is more than outweighed by its low price and potential.

Similar semi's in the area in just average to good condition have been achieving well over £400,000, so this one makes a sensible purchase.

Just up the road are local shops which overlook 'Outwood Common', and a few yards further (4 to 5 minute walk in all) is Sunnymede Primary School (formally Infants and Junior Schools, as of Christmas now a primary) which enjoys a 'Good' OFSTED Report.

Using the Daines Road/Crown Road shortcut the Station is walkable - a good 20-25 minutes we'd allow for.


Our honest 'in a nutshell' bullet points are as follows:

. The Garage is literally falling to bits and unusable. But the hardstanding will make a perfect base for a Garden Outbuilding or Patio area.

. It is a shared drive so at present there is zero off street parking until the Front Garden is converted to a proper Drive. We would knock down the rest of the garage first thing to provide temporary parking up there, although the front lawn itself could probably make-do quite well with matting down.

. The original old warm air boiler is still in a cupboard in the hall, hidden behind a low level door. We think this could be removed and a full height door put in making a more useable full height store cupboard.

. The front-to-back Lounge/Diner is a nice size and has a feature Fireplace presently with a gas fire installed, which we suspect could be removed in favour of a real fire or Wood burner.

. The Galley style Kitchen needs refitting. This could be an opportunity to knock down the wall between the kitchen and the dining area at the end of the Lounge/Diner to create a more modern open plan affair.

. All three bedrooms are pretty good sizes. Even the third bedroom is 8ft x 8ft. The main two are both good size doubles.

. The bathroom is an unfinished refit. There is a modern suite installed, but the walls need tiling.

. We would envisage the electrics need attention. At the very least a new consumer unit (fuse board).


HALL

With an understairs cupboard as well as the cupboard housing the old warm air boiler.


LOUNGE/DINER 24ft x 11ft 8" max (7.32m x 3.55m)

Front-to-back and with a Gas Fire. The chimney appears to be intact, so we presume there is the potential for an open fire/wood burning stove.


KITCHEN 11ft 1" x 8ft 5"

Two windows and a glazed 'back door' mean it's very light and bright.

We noted a freestanding Cooker (gas hob) and under the sink is a 'CORVEC Britony II A' instantaneous gas fired multipoint water heater (not tested as not used for years).n

OF NOTE: The Owner is in the process of obtaining quotes to put in Instant Hot Water Heaters in the Kitchen and Bathroom or a gas boiler in the understairs cupboard.


1st FLOOR LANDING

With a built in cupboard.


MASTER BEDROOM 12ft 10" x 11ft 4" (3.9m x 3.45m)

The big window floods this large double bedroom with light.


BEDROOM TWO 11ft 2" x 9ft 3" (3.4m x 2.82m)

Another good sized double bedroom with a large rear facing window for maximum light.


BEDROOM THREE 8ft 4" x 8ft (2.55m x 2.44m)

Rear facing bedroom.


BATHROOM 7ft 7" narrowing to 5ft 7" x 6ft (2,3m > 1.7m x 1.83m)

An unfinished project, the suite is in, but it needs tiling, new flooring and the ceiling re-plastered.


GARDEN

Next door to the right is the template to go by. They have levelled out more of the garden and put in an elevated Garden Cabin at the top - an excellent use of space.
