Chelmsford Road, Shenfield, Brentwood

Discreetly situated and set back off the main road, behind a screen of mature hedgerow, is this exceptionally attractive and recently renovated four bedroom detached house, with the benefit of a substantial and open plan kitchen/family room, from which bi-folding doors open to the extensive south easterly rear garden. This extended family home is conveniently located, within short walking distance of Shenfield mainline railway station, Crossrail terminus and shopping broadway. St. Mary's Primary School (Ofsted rated Outstanding) and Shenfield High Secondary School are both within a 5 minute walk. Also within catchment of highly sought after Beckett Keys State School.

From beneath a brick arched sheltered entrance, a solid custom-made wood panelled multi-lock front door (by Timber Windows of Brentwood) with frosted glazed panels to either side opens to the hall. A bright and spacious entrance into this appealing property. A staircase with stylish stair runner rises to the first floor landing and cupboards open to useful and extensive storage space.

A sitting room is situated at the front of the property and this draws light from a wide bay window to the front elevation, fitted with plantation shutters. A feature limestone fireplace with a contrasting hearth provides an attractive focal point - working chimney that can accommodate a wood burner if required.

The open plan kitchen/family room is outstanding in every respect and very much the hub of this delightful property. The  kitchen area has been superbly appointed; fitted with a fine quality range of German made Hacker navy blue shaker style units, that comprise a pantry, base cupboards, drawers and matching wall cabinets along three walls.  A contrasting light quartz worktop incorporates a sink unit and Quooker hot water tap with quartz upstand.  A breakfast bar provides casual dining for four people, with an under counter wine fridge within easy reach and a wide recess can accommodate a large American style fridge/freezer.  Double doors open to a substantial pantry with quartz base, drawers below and contrasting oak storage racks.  Integrated top of the line Siemens StudioLine appliances to remain throughout, include two StudioLine ovens (one integrated steam oven and another integrated steam oven with microwave), a StudioLine induction hob with integrated external extraction, StudioLine dishwasher Amtico feature wood effect flooring runs throughout all of the downstairs and this area has the benefit of underfloor heating across multiple zones. There is plenty of room for a large dining table and chairs, in addition to space for an informal living area, which provides a comfortable alternative to the sitting room.  This entire room is beautifully illuminated by bi-folding doors to the rear and side aspects, a window to the rear aspect, two large skylight windows and a tall window to the side elevation.

Leading off the open plan is a study, with dual elevation, a bright and welcoming area. This room will ideally suit those who work from home and could also serve as an excellent children's playroom/gaming room, if required.

A utility room provides an excellent companion to the kitchen/family room with space and plumbing for domestic appliances. An aluminium glazed door leads outside for handy side access to the front and back (useful for muddy boots and pets).

The ground floor WC has been fitted with a white and modern suite that comprises a back to wall WC with a concealed system, a wall mounted hand wash basin with white brick effect tiling.

Leading to the first floor level, you’ll find a beautiful Roger Oats stair runner where there are four very well proportioned bedrooms. The primary bedroom is situated at the rear of the house and this overlooks the 80' foot garden below. It may be worth noting that there is a deep cupboard adjacent to this bedroom, currently accessed from the landing, that could very well be incorporated into this bedroom suite to provide a walk-in wardrobe, if desired. Having said that, there is already a range of floor to ceiling wardrobes installed by Beck Carpentry, that provide extensive clothing storage. The en-suite shower room has been luxuriously appointed with a walk-in wet room style shower, vanity hand wash basin with quartz top and contrasting wooden drawers below and back to wall WC with concealed system. Fitted with Crosswater chrome fittings and Astro bathroom lighting.

The other three bedrooms are all of a very respectable size and these are serviced by a large family bathroom.

The bathroom incorporates a panelled enclosed "P"-shaped shower bath with curved glass shower screen and shower attachments, vanity hand wash basin and back to wall WC.

Externally, as previously mentioned, the rear garden has a south easterly elevation, so has the benefit of sunshine throughout much of the day. The garden measures approximately 80' in depth by 40' width. Across the rear of the property, bi-folding doors open to a substantial garden terrace perfectly suited to outside entertaining and planted with lavender shrubs, adding colour and interest. Both side elevations of the rear garden have been planted with mature hedgerow to provide screening from neighbouring properties. To the far end of the garden is a second seating area adjacent to a children's play area and these spaces are retained by newly installed and sturdy Jackson’s Fencing and feature low level timber railway sleepers. It may be of interest to some that underground water and power have already been extended from the house to the rear of the garden to potentially serve an outbuilding/games room, etc., if desired.

The front of the property comprises a spacious shingle driveway retained by brick edging with landscaped hedgerow to all boundaries, including immaculate box hedging to the front of the house. Electric vehicle charging point and room for two vehicles. A secure gate provides access to the rear garden.

The area is perfectly situated near all conveniences being a short walk to Shenfield high street’s cafes, shops and restaurants. Opposite the property is public access to the open fields which provide a relaxing walk up to Courage Playing Fields, Bluebell wood, St. Mary's Church, and local Cricket Club, to name just a few areas of interest.
