Offering an abundance of living space (3,399 sq ft) and located in the charming semi-rural village of Downham, is this superb four double bedroom, three / four reception, detached family home. The property benefits from a 90ft south-facing garden, a huge open attic space (with potential for substantial development) and a detached garage which was previously used as a treatment room with W.C.
The property offers an incredible space, with generous room dimensions on both floors and, with the house set back peacefully from the road, there is a large 'in-and-out' driveway for up to ten vehicles, making it the perfect home for a large family and visitors.
The house opens into an impressive entrance hall from the secure lobby, with a spacious living room to the front, in excess of 22 ft, with an additional family room/ snug also offering plenty of room measuring 15ft x 13 ft. There is an office, downstairs cloakroom W.C and an expansive open plan kitchen / dining room to the rear, perfect for entertaining, with twin double doors to the garden. The kitchen is a timeless shaker-style, with granite and oakwood worktops and a Rangemaster cooker. The utility room offers ample room with lots of storage space, a Belfast sink and plumbing for washing machine / tumble dryer.
Upstairs, there is no compromise on the size, where there are four double bedrooms- the principal bedroom measuring an impressive 25' 6" x 12' 10" with a en-suite shower room. The family bathroom offers a grand freestanding bath and a separate walk-in shower. There is ample storage on the landing with one cupboard opening up to the loft space which has been completely boarded and a fully-functioning space, primed for further development.
Externally, the south-facing garden extends to almost 100 ft and is completely secluded and the original garage was previously converted into a 'Treatment Room', complete with a separate W.C. Additionally, the solar panels on the roof have made £2,200 for 2024 via the Feed-In-Tariff with E.on.
Attached to the particulars are the architect plans for potential extension into the loft for a master suite with en-suite bathroom and dressing area. Alongside this, are plans for an extension to the side with a connected double storey annex with bedroom, kitchen and bathroom and a further extension to the rear.
Downham Road is a sought-after location in the hugely popular village of Downham, within walking distance of Downham Hall - a boutique restaurant, perfect for Sunday roasts or afternoon tea - and a few highly recommended pubs including The White Horse in Ramsden Heath. The property is located across the road from the Tennis Club and Hanningfield Reservoir Nature Discovery Park is within easy reach. Billericay is a short drive away, with a bustling high street and train station for Greater Anglia links into London Liverpool Street in 31 minutes.
