4 bedroom house for sale

Originally constructed in 1927, "The Laurels" has been the subject of two major remodelling & renovation projects in the last 10 years. The low-maintenance family home with its handsome bay facade, perfectly blends period features with modern, high-end installations. Situated within a very short walk of Shenfield train station, St Mary's primary school (Ofsted - outstanding) and the wide open space of Courages playing fields; this is the perfect period home for the city commuter family. The gardens are low maintenance with a brick driveway for 3 cars and a broad terrace and astro-turf entertaining area to the rear.
Presented to the market in excellent condition, this unique and deceptively spacious home extends to 4 bedrooms, 2 large reception rooms, 2 modern bathrooms, a spacious open-plan kitchen with adjoining utility room, cloakroom and an enclosed lean-to provides much storage.
