Set behind imposing brick walls and secure gates, this impressive 1950s-built family residence occupies a generous plot in a well-established residential area of Billericay.
Offering a rare combination of period charm, substantial living space, and well maintained gardens, the property enjoys views over open land opposite that is not earmarked for development ensuring the surrounding green spaces and the much-loved sledging hill will remain untouched.
The home offers five generously proportioned double bedrooms, each accessed from a wide and airy landing lit by a large front-facing window. These bedrooms have use of the exceptionally spacious family bathroom, complete with a four-piece white suite and two additional modern shower rooms, making this a truly functional and versatile home for larger households.
On the ground floor, a centrally positioned entrance door, flanked by side panels in classic 1950s style, opens into an impressive reception hall laid with original parquet flooring.
A crafted wood staircase with cupboards under and turned balustrades adds a timeless elegance to this welcoming space. Off the hall is a private study ideal for working from home a useful downstairs cloakroom, and a bright, comfortable lounge also featuring parquet flooring, an open fireplace, and folding doors that connect to an expansive rear games room or additional sitting area. These combined spaces offer flexibility for both relaxed family living and large-scale entertaining.
The kitchen stretches from the front to the rear of the house and measures approx. 36' in length. It provides ample space for dining, casual seating, and future scope for modernisation or extension if desired. Just off the kitchen, a side lobby leads to a designated utility area and a series of practical storage spaces, along with access to the rear garden and the attached garage.
The rear garden is a remarkable feature of this property, extending to approximately 200' and offers a private, peaceful retreat for outdoor living. Framed by established borders and mature trees, the garden includes a central lawn, a once-thriving vegetable patch at the far end, and a playful zip line an adventurous touch that's provided endless fun over the years, though newcomers are advised to approach with caution!
Homes of this age and scale, set on such generous plots and with this degree of privacy and outlook, are increasingly rare in Billericay. This is a unique opportunity to secure a substantial family home with character, charm, and future potential in a special setting.
