Salesbury Drive, Billericay, Essex

Enjoying far-reaching rear views across the Sunnymede Valley and being just a 10-minute walk from the 165-acre Norsey Woods Nature Reserve, this spacious 1,041 sq ft, Three Bedroom House combines an excellent location with great potential.

Commuters will appreciate the convenient footpath to Hillway giving easy access to Billericay Station - around a comfortable one-mile walk away, while Sunnymede Infant & Junior Schools, local shops (including a little convenience store) can all be reached on foot within 3 minutes using the nifty footpath 'through the houses', cutting out walking the length of the winding Salesbury Drive

Although there is no allocated parking, the current owners park two cars in the nearby residents' parking area, with unrestricted parking on Hillway just a minute's stroll away.



Inside, the well-planned accommodation includes a generous Lounge/Diner with an open Fireplace and great views, a versatile Family Room opening onto the garden, and a well-equipped kitchen that offers exciting scope to create a more contemporary open-plan layout with the lounge if desired.

Upstairs are three excellent bedrooms, two of them at the rear enjoying those lovely valley views, together with a spacious bathroom and separate WC that could easily be combined into one large family bathroom.

Outside, the 48ft West facing garden is a genuine sun trap, while the powered outbuilding provides useful storage or workshop space.



The Accommodation in more detail:


HALL 9ft x 5ft 3' (2.74m x 1.60m)

The measurements are of just the initial hall area, excluding the wide corridor that runs past the kitchen before opening up again by the stairs and the Family Room.

Plenty of light floods in through the large front-facing window and the part-glazed front door.

A hand-built double cupboard provides handy storage for shoes.



WALK-IN STORE CUPBOARD 5ft 10' x 4ft 5' (1.78m x 1.35m)

With a 5ft (1.52m) high door opening through to the large understairs cupboard, this is an excellent storage facility that we have also seen (in other houses) converted into utility rooms or even a small study.

Mounted on the right-hand wall are the electrical consumer unit, electricity meter and gas meter, and, as expected, there is both lighting and power.

An adaptable and versatile little room.



LOUNGE/DINER 18ft 2' x 10ft 10' (5.54m x 3.30m)

Still retaining its original open fireplace and with a large rear-facing bay window flooding the room with west-facing sunshine, while also enjoying those far-reaching views.



FAMILY ROOM 15ft 6' x 8ft 6' (4.72m x 2.59m)

Another very versatile room that would be equally at home as a dining room or perhaps a dual-purpose study/sitting room.

Being west-facing, it is bathed in natural light through the rear set of double doors with adjacent sidelights, together with the Perspex roof.



KITCHEN 10ft 10' x 10ft 4' (3.30m x 3.15m)

Fitted with a range of light blue 'tongue-and-groove' effect kitchen units, complemented by attractive white oak-effect textured worktops and incorporating a five-ring Range Cooker, which will be remaining.

There are also spaces for the usual appliances (washing machine, tumble dryer and full-height fridge/freezer)

Hidden within one of the high-level units is the Worcester boiler serving the gas central heating and hot water.

Between the kitchen and the lounge is a large 5ft 10' x 3ft 2' (1.78m x 0.97m) serving hatch, with the wall below believed to be a simple plasterboard partition, making it relatively straightforward to remove, should you wish to create a more open-plan layout.



Stairs from Hall too:

1st FLOOR LANDING

With a pull-down loft hatch providing access to the roof space.



MASTER BEDROOM 14ft 10' x 11ft (4.52m x 3.35m)

A generously sized rear-facing double bedroom enjoying an exceptional view across the Sunnymede Valley, with the treeline of Norsey Woods to the right, Mill Meadows to the left, and the top of Hillside Road together with the buildings on Chapel Street clearly visible on the distant horizon.



BEDROOM TWO 10ft 6' x 10ft 5' (3.20m x 3.18m)

A fine size front-facing double bedroom.



BEDROOM THREE 9ft 1' x 7ft 6' (2.77m x 2.29m)

A rear-facing bedroom that is large enough to accommodate a double bed.

Again, being rear-facing, it enjoys the same exceptional views as the Master Bedroom.



BATHROOM 7ft 8' x 7ft (2.34m x 2.13m)

A good size bathroom with ample space for a double-ended bath as well as a large wall-mounted basin.

The wide front-facing window provides plenty of natural light, and there is also a tall chrome towel radiator.

Note: Although there is a separate WC Room, there is clearly enough room to install a WC here as well.



SEPARATE WC ROOM 5ft 1' x 2ft 5' (1.55m x 0.74m)

Fitted with a close-coupled WC and a rear-facing window providing natural light.

Note: The basin in the adjoining BATHROOM is literally on the opposite side of the right-hand wall, making it relatively easy to extend the plumbing and install a small hand basin in this room, just to the right as you enter.

Alternatively, it would be fairly straightforward to combine both rooms into one larger bathroom measuring approximately 9ft 8' x 7ft 8' (2.95m x 2.34m) - a superb-sized bathroom with ample room for both a bath and a separate shower.



GARDEN

Almost perfectly west-facing, the garden enjoys sunshine throughout the afternoon and well into the evening — perfect for watching the sun set in the distance.

A real sun trap, the garden features an initial patio and lawn, with steps leading down to a lower area covered in bark, ideal as a children's play area and currently home to the owners' shed.



SHED 9ft x 7ft 6' (2.74m x 2.29m)

With its own separate consumer unit, a couple of double power sockets and two strip lights.

It should be noted that the garden is elevated above the surrounding Sunnymede Valley and, were the tall ash tree and mature shrubs behind the shed to be removed, it would enjoy a glorious uninterrupted view across the valley.
