St Johns Road, Billericay, Essex

One of Billericay's best-kept secrets, St John's Road is an exclusive private road of just thirteen individually designed homes, quietly hidden away yet perfectly positioned just a seven-minute walk from both Billericay Railway Station (with London Liverpool Street only 35 minutes away) and the bustling High Street.

St John's Independent School sits directly opposite the turning, whilst the 40 acres of Lake Meadows Park are also around seven minutes on foot.

Better still, a little-known footpath at the top of the road leads through to Norsey Road and off this Deerbank Road, with its footpath going straight into the ancient woodland of Norsey Woods - front door to the woods in little more than a minute!

Built by the owners in the early 1960's and offered to the open market for the very first time, this much-loved detached family home has been thoughtfully enlarged over the years to create approximately 1,660 sq ft of bright, versatile accommodation.

The dual-aspect living spaces enjoy a sunny due south orientation, whilst upstairs are three generous double bedrooms, including a spacious principal Master Suite with an Ensuite Bath and Shower room.



Outside, the garden has been cleverly arranged into several distinct areas, from sun-soaked patios to a delightful woodland garden, complemented by a substantial outbuilding, a Garage and an additional store.



Homes in St John's Road are exceptionally rare to the market. Combining a peaceful tucked-away setting with one of the town's most convenient locations, this is a genuinely unique opportunity to acquire a property that has remained within the same family for over sixty years - a good advert in itself.

NOTE

In the interests of complete transparency, prospective purchasers should note that the property was professionally underpinned following the exceptional drought of 1976.

The works were completed many years ago and the property has since provided well over four decades of trouble-free occupation.


The exceptional location, first-class accessibility and rarity of homes becoming available on this road mean we expect to attract strong interest.
