Bond Residential are pleased to offer this three bedroom semi-detached home, occupying a generous plot in the sought-after village of Writtle.

The property offers approximately 909 sq ft of accommodation, complemented by a gated driveway to the front, established gardens and a useful outbuilding. The entrance hall includes built-in storage and provides access to the principal ground-floor rooms. Positioned at the front of the property, the living room is a well-proportioned reception space featuring a fireplace with an inset log burner and a timber mantel. To the rear is the spacious kitchen/dining room, fitted with a range of light-coloured units, contrasting work surfaces, an integrated double oven with hob above. Windows and glazed doors overlook and open onto the rear garden, while an adjoining pantry provides valuable additional storage. A separate utility room offers space and plumbing for appliances, houses the boiler and provides direct access to the garden. On the first floor, the landing leads to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom and second bedroom are both good-sized doubles, with both bedrooms benefiting from offering a built-in wardrobe. The third bedroom would make an ideal child’s room, nursery or home office. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath, wash basin and WC.

Outside, the property is approached through gates onto a gravelled driveway providing off-road parking, with a lawn and established hedging creating an attractive and private frontage. The generous rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a paved seating area, mature planting and an outbuilding offering useful storage or potential for a workshop.

In our opinion the property offers excellent potential to be extended and further parking could be added by converting some of the front garden or having access directly from Lordship Road installed, the neighbouring semi detached home has recently obtained planning permission for a proposed two storey side and single storey front and rear extensions as well as provision of a new vehicular access and associated vehicle parking.
