Occupying a bold corner plot, this Extended 4 Bedroom/3 Bathroom Detached House is a handsome property with a slice of character and boasting an In/Out shingled Drive, very sunny West facing Garden and a super, semi-rural setting, directly opposite open countryside.

Travertine style tiles in the Hall meander into the large rear facing 23ft x 14ft max L-shaped Kitchen/Breakfast Room, the big 20ft x 16ft Lounge has a feature Fireplace and double doors sweeping open to the Dining Room behind - itself with glazed double doors opening out to the Garden. There's another versatile 3rd Reception Room downstairs too (off the Hall) and the Utility Room off the Kitchen is a nice size with a handy ground floor WC Room at the end.

Upstairs, the Master Bedroom has a large built-in wardrobe and an Ensuite Shower Room, the second bedroom also enjoys its own private Ensuite, the third bedroom is also a double, the fourth can also squeeze in a double bed and the bathroom has a large double ended Bath.

There used to be a Drive on the return frontage, so the Garage still remains - now offering great potential for Bar/Home Office/Studio etc. The lovely Indian Sandstone Paving now offering dual use as another Patio or of course a rather smart Drive!

Although a rural village, the property has all the usual utilities including mains drainage and gas, this property also having gas central heating via radiators and double glazing too.

Stondon Massey itself enjoys a delightful country setting, despite only being a few miles from London and has an active community with an annual fete held on the village green opposite the great local pub - The Bricklayers Arms, which has been in the same family for the last 60 years. Various other events are also centred around the Village Hall and the local Church.

Just a 1.6 mile drive away, in the adjoining village of Doddinghurst, is a local Tesco Express Supermarket providing the daily essentials, with Ongar the nearest High Street at just over 3 miles. Brentwood Town Centre is only a couple of miles further at 5.6 miles and the City of Chelmsford is 10 miles. For the regular City Commuter, Shenfield Station with its Mainline link to London Liverpool Street (30 minute journey time) is within easy reach too - a quick 15 minute drive.

If education is a high priority, the village forms part of the Five Parishes (Stondon Massey, Blackmore, Kelvedon Hatch, Navestock and Doddinghurst) schools' admissions policy, helping prioritise placement for the children in the local schools.
