Balmoral Close, Billericay, Essex, CM11

EXTENDED THREE BEDROOM SEMI WITH NO ONWARD CHAIN

Available for the first time since it was sold brand new in 1961, this very well maintained 3 Bedroom Semi offers spacious family living combined with outstanding potential.

The bright 18ft Lounge and Dining Room (rear extension) both enjoy West facing aspects, flooding the interior with mood-boosting natural light throughout the day, the refitted Kitchen/Breakfast Room features attractive light grey Shaker units, granite-effect worktops and integrated Bosch appliances including a gas hob and double oven, there's a ground floor WC Room off the good size Hall and upstairs, two large double bedrooms plus a good-sized third bedroom are served by the Bathroom which has been refitted as a luxury Shower Room with a large 1800mm walk-in Shower and high quality fittings.

Practical benefits include a fitted alarm system, new combination boiler, new consumer unit, attached garage with a notably high 8ft 8" ceiling, remote controlled roller door and space in front, a large block-paved Drive and the secluded 42ft > 37ft West facing Garden offers notable privacy.

For the adventurous, there is full planning permission just received, to extend the current 'half width' extension to the full width - some 6.5m and there are also plans having been drawn up for a Loft Conversion - we believe these could be done under permitted development rights by applying for a Certificate of Lawful Development either before works or retrospectively.

Keys are held for immediate viewing - a great opportunity to acquire this well-loved family home with tremendous scope for enhancement.


The Accommodation


HALL

A nice size entrance with a ground floor cloakroom just on the left as you enter and a cupboard under the stairs housing a new electrical consumer unit and modern gas meter.



GROUND FLOOR WC 5ft 5" x 2ft 6" (1.65m x 0.76m)

With a high-level window for natural light, low-level WC and a white gloss Vanity unit.



LOUNGE 17ft 8" x 12ft 5" narrowing to 11ft 2" ((5.38m x 3.78m > 3.40m)

South-west facing, the Lounge thus enjoys much sunshine beaming in through the big rear window for most of the day, making it a notably bright and sunny room.

The focal point is the Fireplace with its timber surround and inset gas fire and a glazed door leads through to:



DINING ROOM 10ft x 9ft 1" (3.07m x 2.77m)

An early extension. This is another light and airy room courtesy of it also having a large rear-facing window, as well as a fully glazed back door to the garden.



KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM 11ft 7" x 10ft 8" (3.53m x 3.25m)

Refitted with a range of 'textured wood grain' Shaker-style units topped with granite-effect worktops and incorporating a sleek black glass Bosch Gas Hob with a matching Chimney style Extractor Hood above and a split-level Double Oven/Grill, again Bosch.

Features include a pull-out larder cabinet, pull-out recycling cabinet, a 'LeMans' corner carousel storage system and spaced between the units for a freestanding washing machine and dishwasher.

Karndean-style flooring, a feature designer vertical radiator and light grey shiny 'metro' splashback tiling complete a very modern look, with a large front-facing window flooding the room with light.



Straight staircase from hall to:

FIRST FLOOR LANDING

A side-facing window provides lots of natural light and a built-in cupboard (formerly the airing cupboard) now houses a new Glow-Worm 'Energy 30c' Combi Boiler.



MASTER BEDROOM 11ft 4" x 10ft 5" (3.45m x 3.18m)

A generous-sized bedroom with a very large front-facing window maximising light.

Fitted with a good range of bedroom furniture including a central dressing table and bedside drawers.
(We noted that the carcasses seemed in excellent shape and therefore it could be possible to update them easily with new door and drawer fronts.)



BEDROOM TWO 11ft 3" x 9ft 2" (3.43m x 2.79m)

Another double bedroom, this one enjoying far-reaching views over the rooftops.

The fitted wardrobes have a 5ft 10" (1.78m) recess between, big enough for a double bed and bedside cabinets.



BEDROOM THREE 8ft 3" x 8ft 3" (2.51m x 2.51m)

Perfectly square, this is another rear-facing bedroom that again has a pleasant far-reaching outlook.



BATHROOM 7ft 4" (2.24m) narrowing to 5ft 4" (1.63m) x 5ft 10" (1.78m)

Refitted as a very smart, modern, high-specification Shower Room.

Featuring a large 5ft 10" x 2ft 6" (1800mm x 760mm) low-profile Walk-in Shower with both a fixed 'Crosswater' round showerhead, along with a separate handset for more flexibility - controlled by 'Synergy' concealed Triple Thermostatic Shower Valve.

With also a back-to-wall WC and a wall-hung, White Gloss Vanity unit with a pull-out drawer, attractive textured grey wall tiling and grey oak luxury vinyl floor tiling, inset down lighting, an extractor fan, an LED Bathroom Mirror (with sensor, demister and a shaver socket), and a chrome towel radiator. A front-facing obscure glass window provides plenty of natural light.



EXTERIOR

The front garden has long since been block-paved over to provide parking for up to 2 cars.

The Rear Garden has a paved terrace with steps leading down to the lawn, itself notably well screened by various established shrubs and trees.

There's a hardstanding for a shed - the existing one fairly old but with what appears to be a fairly new felt roof and thus waterproof.



GARAGE 16ft 5" x 8ft (5.00m x 2.44m)

Fitted with a new 'Sommer' remote-controlled Garage Roller Door and benefiting from an 8ft 8" (2.64m) high ceiling for maximum storage, arear courtesy door from the garden, two fluorescent lights and power sockets.



PLANNING & POTENTIAL

Prior to marketing, the forward thinking owners investigated ways of showing the potential for the property to suit a variety of markets or buyers and subsequently Planning Permission was granted under Ref: 25/00527/FUL from Basildon District Council for a Single Storey Rear Extension and partial conversion of the existing Garage into habitable space.

They have also drawn up plans - 'concept scheme drawings' - for a Loft Conversion that should be achievable under permitted development rights by applying for a Certificate of Lawful Development, either before works or retrospectively.
