Shalford Road, Billericay, Essex

Consistently one of the most popular designs of four-bedroom semi-detached house in the area, this particular example has been a well-cared-for and a much-loved family home for many years. Its worth noting every improvement and maintenance task carried out by professionals and it shows.

Four notable bedrooms are positioned upstairs, and the spacious landing, a much-admired feature of this design, serves them all well. Each bedroom benefits from built-in storage, and the refitted bathroom now boasts an exceptionally large walk-in corner shower cubicle in place of the original bath, a popular modern upgrade.

Downstairs, professionally decorated rooms are tidy and well-presented throughout, with smooth ceilings and inset spotlights giving a stylish, cared-for appearance. In addition, there is a downstairs WC, a front-to-back lounge diner with patio doors opening to the garden, and a refitted kitchen with integrated appliances that also leads onto the south-facing garden.

Over the years a comprehensive programme of improvements has been carried out, including windows, patio doors, external render boards, a replacement composite entrance door, a Henderson garage door and, most recently, a Glow-worm combi boiler installed in the loft in April of this year. Without doubt, a home where the hard work has genuinely been done.

Shalford Road sits within the popular Sunnymede area of Billericay, approximately one mile from the town centre and train station. What makes this stretch particularly appealing is that houses sit only on one side of the road, with an attractive wooded backdrop adjoining the railway line on the other, giving it a pleasant and surprisingly non-estate feel.

OUTSIDE


FRONT

Nicely positioned within the road, the property benefits from a brick-paved driveway giving access to both the front door and the garage, with ample space within the road itself for guest parking — a very practical and well-considered frontage.


GARAGE 5.51m x 2.47m (18'1 x 8'1)

Fronted by a smart black Henderson up-and-over door, the garage has power and light connected and currently serves the owners as a useful overflow space housing a second fridge, freezer and tumble dryer.


REAR GARDEN

Blessed with a much-favoured southerly aspect, this garden is a genuine sun trap that also brings added warmth to the house during the winter months, a benefit easy to underestimate until experienced firsthand.

Starting with a patio area complete with an outside tap, the garden flows through to a central lawn before finishing with a second paved seating area to the rear, perfectly positioned to capture the last of the evening sun.
