Langdon Hills

A spacious detached family home in a sought-after location within walking distance of the station

What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group

This property is situated in a super, quiet location, sandwiched inbetween two delightful country parks and with many of the surrounding properties already having had substantial extensions carried out, offers a fantastic opportunity for the incoming buyer to put their own stamp on the property and add to the already generous footprint (subject to the necessary consents). The close proximity of Laindon station will appeal to discerning commuters who require good access into London’s Liverpool Street in approximately 45 minutes.

What the Owner Says

My mother resided at the property for many years and thoroughly enjoyed her time here and having the convenience having so many amenities a short drive away was  incredibly useful for her. Unfortunately, she passed away last year and so the time has come to pass the baton onto the next family and allow them to enjoy this lovely home.

History & Background

This spacious four-bedroom detached residence is believed to have originally been constructed in the 1970’s and offers deceptively spacious accommodation spread over two floors.

The ground floor accommodation boasts generous sitting room with adjoining conservatory, dining room, fitted kitchen and utility room, whilst the first floor enjoys a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, three remaining double bedrooms, study/ cot room and a family bathroom.  

Externally the rear grounds are a good size, mostly laid to lawn with an array of mature flower and shrub borders.

Setting & Location

The property is situated along Victoria Avenue a quiet, family-oriented road that is just a short walk from both Westley Heights Country Park and Langdon Hills Country Park that boasts 60 and 400 acres respectively of beautiful parkland, offering the perfect sanctuary for those early morning or Sunday afternoon dog walks. Langdon Hills Country Park is perched on a hilly ridge stretching from Dunton to Vange and provides sweeping views of the Thames Estuary across to London, with ancient woodlands dating back to prehistoric times, numerous picnic areas and a good network of footpaths and horse and cycle tracks linking to the surrounding countryside.

The house is only a short drive/ walk to Laindon train station (0.7 miles), meaning you can be in London in just 45 minutes via the C2C line, whilst the larger town of Basildon is located three miles North and provides excellent access onto the A13, A127 and M25, along with an array of amenities and schooling.

Ground Floor Accommodation

An imposing pair of solid timber doors greet you as you approach the property and provide access to the entrance hall that enjoys a spacious storage cupboard, a useful space for storing your coats and shoes. The sitting room is situated in the West wing, a generous, impressive room with feature ceiling timbers, and seamlessly flows into the spacious double-glazed conservatory that benefits from double doors out onto the rear terrace, ideal for al fresco dining during the Spring/ Summer months! The dining room adjoins the kitchen/ breakfast room that is situated in the rear elevation, a bright and airy room that is complemented by the useful adjacent utility room that provides access to the integral garage.

First Floor Accommodation

A sweeping staircase rises to the first floor where the landing boasts an attractive stained-glass window to the front and given its impressive size, we would imagine that it would be relatively straight forward to construct a further staircase to the loft where potentially, further bedroom accommodation could be created if required (stp).  The principal bedroom is situated in the front elevation, a good size double room with an extensive range of wardrobe cupboards and en suite shower room, whilst there is a box room that could utilised as a study or cot room, three further bedrooms that are all generous doubles and serviced by the family bathroom. 

Grounds

As you approach the front to the property there is a large brick paved in out driveway providing off street parking for several vehicles with the single integral garage directly in front of you.

Gated side access leads to the rear where the grounds are a good size, mostly laid to lawn with mature flower and shrub borders, mature trees and sun terrace.
