House For Sale £950,000
Enjoying a very pleasant setting on a pretty 'no through' country lane within the ever sought after village of Ramsden Heath, this 5 Bedroom Detached House offers boasts nearly 2,200sq ft of family friendly living space, along with a Double Length Garage and a beautiful, manicured West facing Garden that reaches 97ft at its furthest point.
Passing traffic is typically only residents, horse riders and dog walkers as the road ends up as a Public Footpath further along - the perfect blend of suburban location with added countryside.
A short 200m walk away is the Church of England Primary School and the village is surrounded by a network of footpaths and Bridleways.
The property itself has been thoughtfully extended over the years with the present day Ground Floor Accommodation briefly comprising a large initial Hall, further original main Hallway with a ground floor Shower Room, spacious 18ft x 14ft Lounge overlooking the Garden and with a feature wood burning Stove, large 15ft x 11ft front Dining Room with an equally nice view over the front Garden and country lane beyond, premium fitted Kitchen with a separate Utility Area and incorporating a range of Granite topped 'Oak' Shaker style Kitchen units, and an impressive Conservatory again showboating a fabulous Garden view with tall trees behind providing a splendid backdrop.
Upstairs are the five bedrooms, the 5th Bedroom/Nursery works perfectly as a Study, could so easily be converted to an Ensuite for the adjoining Master Bedroom, to compliment the existing Family Bathroom.
Features a-plenty include fitted wardrobes for storage in the Hall, attractive wood flooring in the Halls, Lounge, Dining Room and Conservatory, a big understairs cupboard, Gas Central Heating via radiators and double glazed windows,
Note: The House does not presently have any Ensuites as the current Owners prefer good size bedrooms, not compromised by Ensuites etc, but it would be exceedingly straightforward to convert Bedroom Five/Study into one.
In addition, the Owners purposefully designed the previous extension to allow for easy expansion over the rear Living Room, to allow for an additional bedroom and the creation of two Ensuites.
Outside, the house is set well back from the road giving a larger than average Drive as well as a very neat front Lawn and the Garden is a delight, the woodland behind giving the perfect sylvan backdrop.
The Village itself has an active community and a selection of amenities including three very good pubs - the White Horse (twice voted ‘Best Family Pub in East Anglia), the Nags Head (traditional village pub much used by the locals) and the Fox and Hounds (92% rating on trip advisor). There is also an excellent privately-owned Coffee shop serving great food, a Hairdressers, an air-conditioned village hall available for hiring and even a flood lit Tennis Club.
For families, the close by local Downham Primary School has a 'Good' ofsted rating and, Ramsden Pre-School has been awarded 'Outstanding' by ofsted.
School buses take the older children to the 'outstanding' rated Mayflower High School in the adjacent town of Billericay - Billericay itself is an affluent commuter town with a fast and frequent train service (35 minutes) to London Liverpool Street with peak time nibs buses providing a frequent ride to and from the village and train station.
