Outwood Farm Close, Billericay, Essex, CM11 2ND

This extended Semi-detached House backs directly onto countryside, in a quiet turning on the outskirts of town - the sunny South-East facing Garden running 70ft across the rear boundary, narrowing to 52ft x 35ft deep.

The property offers spacious, well-finished accommodation throughout with the easy option of a third bedroom downstairs.

Inside, the Hall with Amtico flooring and a large understairs cupboard, the Lounge with feature herringbone design LVT flooring and open plan via a wide arch into a stunning 22ft Dining/Day Room with bi-folding doors and a roof lantern. The kitchen has anthracite gloss units, quartz worktops and a 900mm range cooker and extends (again open plan) into an adjoining Prep/Utility Room with an integrated Washing Machine and Dishwasher. There's also a generous refitted ground floor WC - gorgeous it is too.

'The Snug' is an extra front room leading through to the Kitchen. Perfect for a Sofa/TV for the kids whilst parents potter/cook in the kitchen, or a ground floor Home Office (as currently used). You could also so easily 'wall up' the opening to the kitchen, move the American style Fridge/Freezer in front of it (kitchen side) and put a new door to the kitchen in from the Hall and voilà - you'd have a completely separate Snug - or an optional 3rd Bedroom!

Upstairs, the master bedroom is very large and with fitted furniture, the second bedroom enjoys a fabulous country view, and the bathroom is exceptional - freestanding Bath, Walk-in Shower and stylish tiling.

Outside, the driveway parks four cars, and the wedge-shaped plot offers a side and rear garden, patio, raised south-facing decking, summerhouse and a garage ripe for conversion to a home office. Open farmland lies beyond the rear boundary, and there is clear potential to extend further.

Situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac just off Outwood Farm Road (itself off Outwood Common Road), Outwood Fam Close offers the best of both worlds. Outwood Farm Road transforms into a country lane within a few hundred yards, whilst the 165-acre Norsey Woods lies nearby - perfect for long dog walks.

Local amenities including shops and takeaways are just a 7-9 minute walk away, with Sunnymede Schools close by too.

Billericay Mainline Railway Station is just over a mile away, the High Street is 4-5 minutes' drive, and both the A12 and A127 are accessible within 10 minutes as well.



The Accommodation in more detail:


HALL 18ft 2" x 5ft 9" (5.54m x 1.75m)

With gorgeous and hard-wearing Amtico flooring and a surprisingly large under-the-stairs cupboard with a light.



THE 'SNUG'


LOUNGE 16ft x 12ft '5" narrowing to 11ft 3" (4.88m x 3.78m narrowing to 3.43m)

The beautiful oak-effect LVT herringbone design flooring runs through into the large extension and is complemented perfectly by the sage walls and white ceilings/woodwork.

Note: The Electric Fire Suite is freestanding and therefore could be removed.

At 10 feet wide (3.05m), the large arch makes it open plan to the extension beyond.



DINING/DAY ROOM 22ft 8" x 10ft 6" (6.91m x 3.20m)

Bathed in light courtesy of the wide set of bi-folding doors, in addition to a window and a roof lantern light.

Two radiators (including a feature vertical column radiator) provide plenty of winter warmth.



MAIN KITCHEN 10ft x 9ft 8" (3.05m x 2.95m)

Fitted with an attractive range of 'Anthracite Gloss' Integrated Handle units topped with white 'Carrara Marble' Quartz effect square-edge worktops.

The focal point is the 900mm wide Bush Dual Fuel Range Cooker with its five gas burners and cavernous oven and grill.

Above this is a wide glass and stainless steel extractor hood, and there is a 1m wide recess for an American-style fridge/freezer.



PREPARATION/UTILITY ROOM 14ft 3" x 6ft 7" (4.34m x 2.01m)

A very handy and versatile extension to the adjoining kitchen.

Open plan via a wide arch of nearly 6 feet (1.83m), making these two kitchen areas as a whole. perfect for the keen cook.

Within the preparation area is a long run of matching Anthracite Gloss Integrated Handle units, again with matching quartz worktops and incorporating a composite 1.5-bowl sink.

Integrated within the units are a washing machine and dishwasher and a tall cupboard opens to reveal a useful pantry cupboard.

Within this area are two windows and a part-glazed back door leading out to the enclosed area between the double doors at the side of the house and the garage.



GROUND FLOOR WC 6ft 5" x 5ft 1" (1.96m x 1.55m)

Gorgeous. And big enough to be a shower room if desired.

Featuring a 1m wide light grey gloss vanity unit with extra-wide twin drawers providing great storage, along with a close-coupled WC.

A white vertical column radiator complements the gorgeous wall and floor tiling perfectly, and a side-facing obscure glass window provides natural light.



Stairs from Hall to:

FIRST FLOOR LANDING

With a fold-down hatch accessing the loft (with a ladder and light).



MASTER BEDROOM 15ft max narrowing to 13ft 1" x 16ft (4.57m > to 3.99m x 4.88m)

An incredibly spacious, sumptuous bedroom with two windows maximising light and grey fitted bedroom furniture incorporating two double wardrobes, two single wardrobes, a chest of drawers and a matching bedside cabinet.



BEDROOM TWO 11ft 3" x 8ft 7" (3.43m x 2.62m)

A very nicely decorated double bedroom enjoying a lovely country view.



BATHROOM 14ft 5" x 6ft 8" (4.39m x 2.03m)

It's massive!

A fabulous showpiece of the house, plenty big enough for its deep and luxurious freestanding Bath as well as a large 4'6" X 2'6" (1400mm x 760mm) walk-in glass-framed Shower with both a fixed 'Rain' showerhead as well as a separate handset.

Tucked discreetly aside a projecting wall giving separation to the adjoining shower is the close-coupled WC, and the wide grey gloss Vanity unit has two large drawers for maximum storage.

Note the feature floor tiling which pairs perfectly with the matt grey wall tiling, the tall chrome towel radiator, two matching storage cabinets and a sizeable rear window providing plenty of natural daylight.



FRONT DRIVE

The front drive takes three standard-size cars with ease, and on the other side of the wooden double doors on the left, there is room for a fourth small car.



GARDEN

70ft across the rear boundary, narrowing to 52ft x 35ft deep.

Being positioned at the end of the cul-de-sac, the property thus enjoys a large wedge-shaped plot with both a side garden and a rear garden, fully open plan to each other.

The Garage is to the side of the property and lends itself clearly to conversion into a garden building or home office.

There is a patio area between the garage and the main house, plus raised decking behind the garage between it and a summerhouse.

Partly south-facing with a hint of east, the raised decking therefore enjoys sunshine almost all day long.

Tall hedging along the rear boundary provides a degree of privacy, while behind is open farmland.

Looking back at the house, there is clear potential to extend further.



GARAGE 15ft 1" x 8ft 4" (4.60m x 2.54m)

Looking up, the beamed roof awaits celotex boards to be placed between the joists and then plasterboarded over to create an insulated ceiling. The walls can be easily dry-lined, again with celotex (or similar) insulation.

A modern electrical consumer unit and lighting are already in place.

The existing garage door is also very modern and could be retained with a simple timber-framed wall built in front of it, meaning it could always be converted back to a garage if desired. Note there is not enough room between the side extension and the boundary to drive a car through, but it would be perfect for motorbikes, etc.
