THE ACCOMMODATION

HALLWAY

Upon entering, one immediately notices the chunky exposed timber posts and beamwork which typifies these beautiful Potton Homes and provides the eye catching character feature found throughout the home.

Wood effect flooring has been laid in-keeping, and the understairs cupboard has been cleverly adapted with the addition of a further door from the kitchen, to discreetly house the washing machine.

Latched matchwood internal doors lead off to:


GROUND FLOOR WC ROOM

Fully tiled and Fitted with a white two piece suite comprising a close coupled WC and a wall mounted basin.

A rear window gives natural light.


LOUNGE 19ft x 11ft 7` max (5.8m x 3.55m)

The focal point is the full height brick Fireplace with its inset real flame Gas Fire and curving brick hearth.

Plenty of light comes through the front facing window and rear set of French doors with their accompanying windows.

A chunky Post and its crossing top beam adds additional character.


DINING ROOM 17ft 7` x 10ft 4` min (5.4m x 3.15m)

This large reception room has been previously divided into two separate rooms: a still good size dining room and a separate Study too. Now it is back in its original arrangement, but the added timberwork was retained for very easy reinstatement if desired, especially with the increase in working from home.

Two front facing windows provide plenty of light and a hand built-in matching cupboard houses the electrical consumer unit and gas meter.


KITCHEN 10ft 7` x 8ft 1` (3.2m x 2.5m)

Fitted with a range of dated but very well maintained `Antique Oak` effect kitchen units incorporating a 5-ring Gas Hob below a canopied Extractor fan, a built-in Double OvenGrill, Integrated Fridge, Integrated Dishwasher, and the aforementioned matching door within the left wall which opens to reveal the understairs cupboard housing the hidden washing machine (available subject to negotiation).

The window enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden and an external UPVC door leads out to the conservatory.


CONSERVATORY 15ft 1` x 12ft 5` (4.6m x 3.8m)

A huge conservatory with three radiators allowing all-year-round use.

There is plenty of room for both a dining set and sofas, and the floor has a tiled finish.

Both a set of double doors and a further external door provides direct access to the rear garden and the vaulted roof features two remote-controlled electric opening skylights and twin fans too, each incorporating a trio of lights.


Return staircase from Hall, with window on the half landing, to:


1st FLOOR LANDING

Matching in with the matchwood internal doors, a loft hatch flips down to reveal access to Loft and a matching latched door opens to reveal the airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.


MASTER BEDROOM 19ft 1` x 12ft 3` narrowing to 8ft 6` (5.8m x 3.7m > 2.6m)

A handsomely proportioned bedroom and dual aspect, with windows at both ends.

Twin posts and beamwork give additional character.


ENSUITE BATHROOM 7ft 7` x 6ft 6` (2.3m x 2m)

A skylight window provides natural daylight.

Yet another good size bedroom with a front facing window and built-in wardrobecupboard.

EXTERIOR - FRONT

The Front Garden has been carefully planted to create added kerbside appeal.

A shingled Front Drive leads up to the Garage.


GARAGE 17ft 7` x 9ft 2` (5.4m x 2.8m)

Slightly wider than average and with a pitched roof giving additional storage up in the roof space, the garage features doors at both ends.

A remote controlled electric up and over door at the front is complimented by a remote controlled roller door at the end. Allowing through access for machinery or perhaps a motorbike.

There`s a couple of electric sockets and lighting too.


54ft REAR GARDEN

The French doors from the lounge open out to a herringbone design block paved patio which extends around the conservatory and up two steps to a further secondary patio behind the Garage.

A raised brick flower bed gives separation to the rear lawn, which is bordered by a wide variety of shrubs and trees including a small row of conifers to the rear - all helping to create a very private and secluded Garden.

Down one side of the house, discreetly tucked away, is a small shed and we also noticed a water butt plugged in to the conservatory downpipe for rain harvesting and an outside tap below the kitchen window. There is also gated pedestrian access between the garage and the main house.


`SHELSEY PARK`

Built by Potton Homes in the mid 1990`s, the estate was named after one of the oldest motor sport events in the World. The famous ?Shelsley Walsh Speed Hill Climb` in Worcestershire. As in the early decades of the 20th century Old Church Hill was also used for Motor Hill Climbing. The first race took place in 1906 not long after Shelsley Hills first race, the last in 1923 as in 1924 the hill was judged to be unsuitable for competition and the following year the RAC competitions committee refused to grant any further licenses for competitive motor sport on public roads.

The development consists of four roads, with all the properties, attractive mock Tudor homes built with character appeal and sitting on equally pretty streets.

It was built-in as a commuter estate to take advantage of its location just 0.7 mile from Laindon Mainline Railway Station and sits adjacent to part of Langdon Nature Reserve with Langdon Hills the location of the 400-acre Langdon Hills Country Park.

There are various local shops dotted about, the main ones at `The Triangle` on the High Road (4 minute walk) which includes a McColl Convenience Store and only 0.4 mile away is a very good ? Miller & Carter Steakhouse Restaurant.

The local Lincewood Primary School is also within walking distance - an 8 minute stroll - and has a Good OFSTED Report.

A 2 mile drive away is Basildon Town Centre. Its original design emphasising firmly on pedestrianised shopping and currently undergoing a regeneration which includes the addition of hundreds of new homes and new leisure facilities such as a new cinema and restaurants.
