With NO ONWARD CHAIN, this attractive and unique 'Cottage' forms part of the luxury conversion and extending of 'The Rising Sun', which has proudly stood for over 200 years in this prominent position on the southern boundary of Billericay High Street.

The property enjoys a west facing aspect and sits behind wrought iron railings, looking out over the historic and now protected green space of 'Sun Corner' - recently renamed 'Queen Elizabeth II Field'.

There's a nice size Hall with a large cupboard beneath the stairs on the left as you enter, with the Grey Oak laminate flooring flowing into the open plan Living/Dining/Kitchen Room adjacent.

The Living room boasts twin front facing feature Sash windows, further enhancing the buildings appearance and in keeping within the character of the conservation area.

White Gloss Kitchen units are topped with beautiful white Quartz worktops and incorporate a host of integrated appliances, plus a huge walk-in Store Room is a lovely surprise providing a superb storage facility.

The luxury Bathroom serves the Double Bedroom which also features a Sash window, and like the ones downstairs in the living room, also enjoys a pleasant outlook over the open green space of Sun Corner, granted Queen Elizabeth II (QE2) status against future development.

The allocated Parking Bay is immediately behind, which has enabled the current owner to install a premium Anderson 'intelligent' Electric Car Charging Point - potentially available by separate negotiation.

Garland Court is a superior new development within Billericay High Streets' Conservation area, seeing the converting and extending of the original building, opened as a Public House in 1810 and replacing an older house that stood there since 1593, and the building of a brand-new Georgian style red brick building with behind the two, landscaped grounds and a secure, private Car Park.

Each apartment has both its own parking bay (plus there's an additional 3 spaces for visitors) as well as covered secure cycle parking for each flat.

During the day, the packed historic high street outside, with its many well-known high street names mixed with smaller privately owned boutiques and a central Waitrose, provide more than the daily essentials and the numerous intermingled restaurants, bars and pubs will hopefully be back open soon, once more giving the High Street a real buzz of an evening, particularly Friday and Saturday nights.

Plus, for the City worker, the commute into the Capital is short. A brisk half mile walk through the High Street and you're at the Mainline Railway Station, London Liverpool Street just a 35-minute ride away.

The Accommodation

Combining style with security, the black on the outside, white on the inside, 'woodgrain' effect composite front door leads through to:

HALL

Making a great first impression, the attractive 'Grey Oak' effect wood flooring extends into the main living space and blends perfectly with the grey carpet running up the staircase, itself with its Oak balustrades.

A surprisingly large understairs cupboard, smart and contemporary internal doors and a neat chrome and sparkling quartz radiator shelf provides the finishing specification.

OPEN PLAN LIVING/DINING/KITCHEN ROOM 19ft 6' x 12ft 10' narrowing to 11ft 4' (5.9m x 3.9m > 3.5m)

This modern open plan living space has been well planned with the Kitchen area to the far wall, Lounge area by the twin front facing Sash windows and Dining area between the two.

The white walls, light Grey Oak flooring and White Gloss kitchen units topped with sparkling Quartz worktops give an even greater impression of light and space.

The sleek handleless kitchen units incorporate a undercounter 1.5 bowl sink, built-in Gas Hob with matching stainless steel Chimney style Extractor Hood above and a Multi-function Oven below, integrated Dishwasher, integrated Zanussi large capacity Washer/Dryer and an integrated Fridge/Freezer.

Hidden within one of the matching eyelevel units is the Potterton Promax Combination Boiler serving the gas central heating via radiators and hot water.

A further internal door opens to reveal a huge walk-in Store Room which also houses the modern consumer unit.

BATHROOM 7ft x 5ft 6' (2.1m x 1.7m)

A beautifully appointed, fully fitted bathroom with a semi-recessed basin, back to wall WC and the shower bath, with its extra wide showering area, boasts a stylish Rainhead Shower head and a separate handset too for extra flexibility.

Gorgeous grey tiling to the walls and floor, coupled with a chrome towel radiator and bathroom cabinet, completes a very stylish look.

Stairs from Hall rising to:

1st FLOOR LANDING

A skylight over the stairwell throws light across the stairs and onto the landing which has a large built-in wardrobe. Further internal door through to:

BEDROOM 10ft x 9ft 6' (3m x 2.9m)

The eyes are naturally drawn to the feature front facing double glazed Sash window, which enjoys a very pleasant view across 'Sun Corner' opposite.

Beautiful wallpaper behind the bed gives designer appeal and a bespoke hand-built cupboard with feature glass doors extending to a bedside cabinet, has been neatly fitted into a large niche in the wall.

EXTERIOR

The Grounds have been landscaped in keeping with the character of the development, with between the two buildings, a tall set of iron gates providing privacy and security swing open to access the private Car Park behind.

The Car Park is block paved with each apartment allocated a space plus, there are three visitors' spaces too.
