Calvinia Close, Noak Bridge, Laindon, Essex, SS15 4FG

A truly impressive 5 Bedroom Detached Family Home of approximately 2,000 sq ft with new silicon render to the outside, situated in the sought-after village of Noak Bridge - well known for its 20-acre Nature Reserve and attractive 'model village' design, with woodland walks and green spaces very much at its heart.

Positioned on the Billericay side of the A127, the property enjoys swift access to both Billericay and Basildon town centres, with mainline train services to London Liverpool Street and Fenchurch Street. Laindon station is just 2.7 miles away (6 minute drive), Basildon is even closer at 2.1 miles (5 minutes), and Pipps Hill Retail Park - home to a large Asda Superstore and new Lidl - is just one mile away. Plus Basildon Sporting Village and Gloucester Park are only 1.2 miles via a cycling-friendly route.

The versatile and spacious accommodation is arranged over three floors and briefly comprises: Entrance Hall, ground floor WC, a generous 22ft Lounge with a feature Fireplace, a stunning Edwardian-style Conservatory with electric underfloor heating for all-year-round use, a separate playroom/reception room with garage access, and a well-appointed Kitchen/Breakfast room with sage coloured Shaker units topped with Granite worktops. An integral Garage (with remote controlled door) and an attractive Garden complete with a pergola, hot tub, and slate patio, complete the ground floor picture.

To the first floor, the Master Bedroom is a genuine Suite of three rooms: Dressing room with a feature Juliette balcony, lower level main bedroom area, and a stylish Ensuite Shower Room - alongside two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The second floor offers two additional double bedrooms (one currently a study), both with skylight and arched windows enjoying far-reaching countryside views, lending themselves perfectly to a teenager's suite.

Further benefits include new Silicone render (silicone render resists cracking due to its high flexibility and superior water resistance, plus it's colour-through, so you never need to paint it! ), an EV Car Charger, plantation shutters throughout, a striking double-height Gabled Dormer window to the front, and gas central heating.


The Accommodation in more detail:


HALL

With wood laminate flooring that extends throughout the ground floor bar the Lounge.

Looking up the stairs, you can see all the way through to the top floor, the freshly white-painted walls and ceilings giving a real feeling of light and space.



GROUND FLOOR WC ROOM 5ft 5" x 3ft 9" (1.65m x 1.14m)

Fitted with a white cloakroom suite and with an elegant plantation shutter fitted to the front-facing obscure glass window.

(Up high on the wall is the electrical consumer unit.)



LOUNGE 22ft 10" x 11ft 3" narrowing to 10ft 3" (6.96m x 3.43m narrowing to 3.12m)

Formerly the Lounge/Diner, now a lovely-sized living room, the focal point being the fireplace with its limestone surround and inset gas fire.

Plantation shutters have been fitted to the front window here as well, and in fact also to the front-facing first floor bedrooms too, nicely framing and complementing the striking centrepiece of the front elevation - the feature double-height central gabled dormer window.

A wide set of double bi-folding doors opens out to:



CONSERVATORY 15ft 10" x 9ft 2" (4.83m x 2.79m)

A stunning Edwardian style conservatory with a vaulted roof stretching up nearly 10 feet (3.05m), and a set of double doors opening out to the garden.

Accessed from both the lounge and kitchen, and with its own set of double doors leading through to the third living room/playroom.

Underfloor electric heating provides all-year-round use.



PLAYROOM 16ft 4" x 8ft 10" (4.98m x 2.69m)

An incredibly versatile extra downstairs reception room/living room, accessed off the conservatory and with a door to the garage for even more options (home-based business, etc.).

As it is, it makes the perfect gaming/playroom with two windows with fitted blackout blinds for plenty of natural light and a proper radiator running off the gas central heating.

There is also a trio of full-height shelved fitted cupboards with walnut-effect doors providing fabulous storage.

Storage continues above, as there is a loft above this rear extension as well - which is part boarded with a light too



KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM 17ft 1" x 11ft (5.21m x 3.35m)

A lovely-sized room, fitted with an attractive range of textured wood-grain finish shaker-style units in a pleasant light pastel shade of Sage, topped with black galaxy granite worktops and with a host of built-in integrated appliances.

There is a 4-Burner Gas Hob with a glass and stainless steel Chimney Extractor Hood above, a Multi-function Bosch Oven below, integrated Bosch Dishwasher, integrated Bosch Washing Machine, and a recess for a large American-style fridge/freezer - the existing one can stay as it fits perfectly. (it's also plumbed in for chilled water & ice)

A comprehensive array of kitchen units includes a pull-out full-height larder unit, lots of drawers, a pantry cupboard, and a peninsula unit providing separation to the breakfast area.

Note: The understairs cupboard has been divided into two cupboards, each with their own matching sage green doors in keeping with the rest of the kitchen ones (the lower cupboard also with a useful light).

There is also a part-glazed side external door and a rear-facing kitchen window, so plenty of natural working light too.



Stairs from Hall to:


FIRST FLOOR LANDING

Hugely impressive!

Featuring a double-height gable window - the striking main architectural feature of this property - which streams light across and over the stairwell and up to the top floor as well.

There is also a built-in airing cupboard which, following the replacement of the original boiler with a modern combination boiler, has freed up extra space for linen and towel storage. (The hot water cylinder is gone, with the modern combi boiler in its place.)

The eye will be immediately drawn to wide double doors with fitted blackout blinds, which open to reveal a Juliet balcony - another lovely feature of this home.

Being split-level, the room then steps down to the bedroom area:
