Johnston Close, Halstead, Essex

Located within a peaceful and family-friendly cul-de-sac, this excellently presented and impressively spacious three/four-bedroom home offers a generous 1,431 sqft of versatile living space, perfect for growing families or those needing that extra bit of room to spread out.

Built in 1978, this is a solidly constructed home that has been thoughtfully updated. As you step inside, you're welcomed by a bright entrance hall, complete with a recently replaced high-security composite front door. The modern, well-fitted kitchen/diner includes an extractor fan, double oven and hob, a fridge, and a dishwasher — all of which are included in the sale.

At the rear of the home, you'll find a fantastic lounge/dining room that spans the full width of the house — complete with two sets of patio doors that open out to the garden, making it a brilliant space for entertaining or simply relaxing with the family. Fitted blinds, installed within the last 12 months, add a stylish and practical finishing touch throughout the home.

The former garage has been cleverly converted to add a generous utility room, with an american-style fridge freezer, a flexible reception room currently used as a gym, and a handy ground floor shower room. This space could easily become a home office, guest room, playroom, or fantastic storage area — whatever suits your lifestyle.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with three spacious double bedrooms, plus an additional room that works well as a home office, nursery, or dressing room. There's also a fully boarded loft with lighting and a fitted ladder, providing excellent storage potential.

Outside, the rear garden is both stylish and low-maintenance, starting with a beautiful Indian sandstone patio. A sleek glass canopy above offers a sheltered outdoor area, making this space usable all year round — even in the rain — and helps preserve the quality of the patio. Beyond the patio lies a neat lawn and a composite decked seating area, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. There's also a summer house and a powered shed, ideal for hobbies or extra storage. Down the side of the property, there’s useful internal storage with external access.

To the front, there’s off-road parking on the driveway and a lawned area that could potentially be converted for more parking if needed.

Set just moments from stunning countryside walks, including the beautiful Halstead River Walk, this home also benefits from being a short stroll from primary schools and the town’s High Street amenities. It really is a home that offers space, comfort, and convenience in equal measure.

Halstead is a pretty traditional market town 7 miles north of Braintree. The town has a wealth of shops, restaurants, cafes and interesting walks. With a population of over 11,000 Halstead has grown steadily and schools are of a high standard and the town boasts local health facilities including a hospital and medical centre.
