Located to the more non-estate west end of Passingham Avenue, with Countryside literally little more than a stone's throw away, the owners here are on the move for the first time in a much enjoyed 40 years of living here.
With all the accommodation on one level, this three bedroom detached Property also showboats an 84ft x 55ft Garden with two sturdy log cabins in it. One even boasting a woodburning stove!
The front drive is also a decent size and will take three large cars with ease, potentially four, and certainly a long caravan as well (the caravan could go down the side of the property in front of the old garage).
Inside is centred around the very large 'family-friendly' Heart-of-the-Home Kitchen/Diner where the patio doors gaze out over the big Garden.
All three bedrooms will take double beds, and the Master Bedroom has both a Dressing Room and Ensuite Shower Room too.
Plus, there is a separate WC Room as well as the huge feature all-Travertine Bathroom, impressing with a very large walk-in Shower Area.
The property is in need of TLC in places, but we feel this is more than outweighed by its splendid Garden, the two big Log Cabins and its size 1100sq ft and that's excluding the Cabins.
The main accommodation briefly comprises Entrance Hall, Lounge with Woodburning Stove, Kitchen/Diner, the three double bedrooms, two bathrooms (the main bathroom and Ensuite to the Master Bedroom), a separate WC room and the attached Garage.
Of note, plans were passed in 2004 to go upwards as a chalet, which would have added another three bedrooms up there along with a bathroom. In the end this was never carried through as the present day accommodation was more than sufficient, but it is a possible option for those interested.
Passingham Avenue borders White Post Farm via Kennel Lane at the end of the road, thus offering nearby countryside access.
Local amenities include Grange Road shops (7 mins walk), two good pub/restaurants both under 10 mins away, and nearby schools - South Green (0.3 mile) and St Peters (0.6 mile).
Billericay High Street with its central Waitrose Store and the Station at the other end (35 mins to London) is 1 mile away, with good bus links too. The A127 is 5 minute drive.
