Allens Road, Ramsden Heath, CM11 1JA

Modern Family Living: A Transformed 4 Bedroom Semi with a bonus 3-Room Outbuilding, in this ever popular village just outside Billericay- thoughtfully expanded showcasing how strategic extensions and conversions can transform a standard property into a large and versatile family home.

A previous double-story addition introduced a welcoming new Entrance Hall, Utility Room and Kitchen, plus adding valuable new bedroom space above. A later single-story extension at the rear added the third living room and a convenient lobby off the dining room accessing a practical ground floor shower room

So the present day accommodation briefly comprises two Halls, a Lounge, a very large Dining Room (original kitchen and Dining area = its big!), rear second Lounge/Sitting Room, Cream Gloss/Black Granite Kitchen, Maplewood effect Utility Room, a ground floor Shower Room, 4 double bedrooms upstairs and a modern Bathroom.

The property's 67ft garden presents a blank canvas for personalisation and the Front Drive takes 3 cars with ease.

The former garage has been reimagined as a versatile 26ft outbuilding. Its front sections have been professionally converted with insulation, plasterboard and laminate flooring to create a garden lounge and gym, while the rear brick section serves as storage with potential for further development.

This home exemplifies how thoughtful renovation can transform a standard property into a contemporary living space that balances functionality with charm.


Ramsden Heath Village is just a 2.7-mile drive from Billericay High Street and its Railway Station - a popular and regular bus service provides morning and evening transport from the village to the Station.

Ramsden Heath enjoys a great community spirit with many clubs and associations going on in the modern local Village Hall. There is also a good range of facilities such as the well-respected Children's Nursery, Downham Church of England Primary School, two pubs (The Nags Head and The White Horse) and a local coffee shop/cafe.


The Accommodation


Combining style with security, the chunky UPVC front door leads through to:

HALL/VESTIBULE 8ft 6" x 7ft 9" (2.6m x 2.36m)

Essentially another Hall following the side extension.

Attractive full height wardrobes provide a fantastic storage facility for all things coats and shoes, along with a low-level cupboard with a cushioned seat as well.

With slate effect tiled flooring and glazed doors through to the utility room ahead, and the original hall on the right.


HALL 13ft 2" x 5ft 10" (1.78m)

With a front facing window providing plenty of natural light and the 'light oak' laminate flooring extending on into the adjoining Lounge.

The downstairs cupboard houses the gas meter and modern electrical consumer unit.


LOUNGE 13ft 2" x 10ft 10" (4m x 3.3m)

When the children were young, this adaptable room made the perfect Play Room, then it went through the stage of the parents using it as their lounge whilst the kids and their friends used the rear lounge. Now with the children older, the owners use the rear Sitting Room as their lounge, leaving this front room more used as the working-from-home office and separate TV room.

This please note that the desk, TV unit and bookcase are all fitted (although easily removable).

The focal point is the remote controlled electric Fireplace and plenty of light streams in through the large front facing window.


Glazed double doors through to:


DINING ROOM 17ft 1" x 11ft (5.2m x 3.34m)

Formally the original kitchen and separate dining room, now one very large dining area, which is open plan to the kitchen - itself now located within the side extension.

The dining room is now the heart of the home and provides access to all the main rooms downstairs.


Open plan to:

REAR SITTING ROOM 10ft 3" x 8ft 9" (3.13m x 2.67m)

Perfect as a separate lounge for the kids, although equally lending itself as a playroom etc

A set of Upvc sliding doors open out to the garden.


KITCHEN 11ft x 7ft 9" (3.34m x 2.36m)

Fitted with a range of Matt Cream units incorporating a 5-Ring NEFF Gas Hob sitting below an integrated Extractor Hood, with a matching 'slide and hide' Multifunction Oven/Grill, with above this, a Combination Microwave/Oven.

There is a recess within the units for a freestanding dishwasher and fridge/freezer and the three seater Breakfast Bar unit and wall provides division of the kitchen from the dining area.

A set of French doors with fitted blinds open out to the garden, particularily to the little 'courtyard' between the back of the kitchen and the 3-room outbuilding.


UTILITY ROOM 7ft 9" x 6ft 2" (2.36m x 1.87m)

Fitted with a range of 'Pearwood' effect units incorporating a circular sink, recesses for the washing machine and tumble dryer, and a further space for the vendors tall larder freezer.

A side facing window provides lots of natural light and a glazed door goes back to the 'new' Hall.


INNER LOBBY

Accessed from the dining area, this little lobby has a UPVC external door going out to the garden and a further internal door opening to reveal the ground floor shower room.


SHOWER ROOM 6ft x 4ft 8" (1.83m x 1.42m)

All in white, maximising light. With a fitted WC unit, corner Vanity unit with a matching corner bathroom cabinet above, and a shower cubicle.

There is also an extractor fan, towel radiator and a high-level window for natural light.


Stairs from original Hall to:

1st FLOOR LANDING

Looking up, we see the loft hatch providing easy access to the loft. Doors off to:


MASTER BEDROOM 12ft 10" x 10ft 3" (3.9m x 3.12m)

A large front facing double bedroom with 'Maplewood' effect fitted bedroom furniture incorporating wardrobes and dressing table.

This is in addition to a large built-in cupboard providing great further storage.


BEDROOM TWO 9ft 3" x 8ft 10" (2.83m x 2.71m)

The measurements of this rear facing double bedroom exclude the attractive 'grey oak' fitted wardrobes along the right wall.


BEDROOM THREE 14ft 10" x 9ft 3"

Incorporating the front part of the upstairs extension and the original third bedroom, so now one very large bedroom with two front facing windows so its lovely and bright, and retaining the original built-in cupboard over the stairs.

Its design almost lends itself to an initial study area leading round to the bedroom area.


BEDROOM FOUR 14ft 5" x 7ft 9" (4.4m x 2.36m)

The rear half of the upstairs extension, this is yet another double bedroom with the fresh white walls and ceiling enhancing its feeling of light and space.


BATHROOM 7ft 6" x 5ft 7" (2.28m x 1.7m)

Refitted with a large 'ShowerBath' with a separate shower over and wide white gloss 'combination unit' incorporating plenty of storage in addition to the basin and back to WC.

With a high-level window for plenty of natural light and a chrome towel radiator


EXTERIOR - The three room Outbuilding.

The original extended Garage has been cleverly repurposed as a multi-functional outbuilding. At an impressive 26 feet in length, it now houses three distinct areas. The front two sections have been professionally converted with insulation, plasterboard, and laminate flooring to create a garden lounge and gym area. The rear section remains in its original brick state, currently serving as storage but offering potential for further conversion to suit individual needs.


Bi- folding doors replace the original up and over garage door, these now opening to:


GARDEN ROOM 8ft 10" x 8ft 5" (2.7m x 2.56m)

Insulated and finished with white painted, plasterboarded walls and ceilings.

Extra light comes through a curved skylight and the black slate effect told floor extends through to the adjoining Gym.

Door through to:


GYM ROOM 8ft 10" x 6ft (2.7m x 1.8m)

The same as the garden room, with white painted, plasterboarded walls and ceiling and like the garden room, with inset downlighting.

The simple petition wall between the two rooms could so easily be removed in favour of a larger single room if desired.

Door through to:


WORKSHOP 11ft 1" x 8ft 10" (3.37m x 2.7m)

With a large rear facing window and a part glazed external door opening out to the garden.

We noted a drain cover just outside the front of the garage and so presume it would be fairly feasible to have waterworks installed to this outbuilding - both incoming water and outgoing drainage. We thought this would open up lots more options to the outbuilding, including the obvious potential of a small Annex perhaps too.


GARDEN

With a patio, the remainder laid to lawn.


FRONT DRIVE

Block paved with 'softening' shrubs either side.
