Features include underfloor heating, an integrated Sonos speaker system, solid oak doors and staircase, and a high-specification kitchen and bathrooms.

What The Owner Says

When we purchased the property ten years ago, it was a modest, run-down bungalow. Since then, we have invested significant time and care into extending, reconfiguring and fully refurbishing it to an exceptional standard throughout. The setting is wonderfully tranquil, with beautiful views over the surrounding countryside and the secluded grounds have provided the perfect backdrop for hosting many memorable gatherings with family and friends. We have decided to downsize and for ease for the incoming buyer will offer the property to the market with no onward chain.

History & Background

The property is believed to have originally been constructed in the 1950s, with significant extensions and improvements carried out between 2020 and 2022.

Thie accommodation is incredibly versatile and could be utilised in a variety of ways to suit the incoming purchaser and is ideally suited for multi-generational living. The ground floor comprises a fabulous entrance hall, two generous reception rooms, a magnificent high-specification kitchen/dining room, utility room, and an impressive principal bedroom suite with en suite and dressing room, along with two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

To the first floor are two additional bedroom suites, both benefiting from their own en suite facilities.

Externally, the property enjoys an expansive in-and-out driveway providing ample off-street parking for several vehicles, a detached quadruple garage, and grounds extending to approximately 0.53 acres (STLS), backing onto delightful rolling countryside.

Setting & Location

The property is situated set back along Paternoster Row, a delightful quiet no through lane surrounded by a scenic bowl of undulating countryside in the London Borough of Havering between Romford and Brentwood with extensive frontage and countryside behind and opposite.

For a wider range of amenities, including shopping centres, healthcare, schools, cinemas and extensive leisure options, residents can easily travel into central Romford and Brentwood, both major retail and entertainment hubs.
