House For Sale £800,000
Shanklin Avenue, Billericay CM12


Description
Wake up to fabulous far reaching views towards London through the large rear windows of this 4 Bedroom Detached House, which enjoys an ever so convenient setting, as the second house in on this delightful private shingled road, a scenic, historic Billericay avenue, on the edge of Billericay Town Centre.

This property will also appeal to the City Commuter, as it is just an easy half mile stroll to the Station (London Liverpool Street in 35 minutes) and if education is a high priority, families may be interested to know that it falls within the catchment area of the outstanding Quilters Infants & Junior Schools (0.7 mile).

The High Street is also so close by, a 4-5 minute walk via the footpath at the top of the road through to Wakefield Avenue/Lion Lane and the green space of 'Sun Corner' is not much further at 0.4 mile.

Built in the early 1970's and extended in 1979, this property has been a much loved family house for decades and is now looking for the next family to make it their Forever Home.

Its present accommodation comprises a side Entrance Door to the L-shaped Hall with a modern ground floor WC, Lounge and separate Dining Room - both identical lengths (23ft+) post the extension and very bright as they are South West facing too, Front Kitchen (pleasant outlook over this lovely road), Utility Room with door to Integral Garage (with remote controlled electric up and over door), nice size Landing, the four excellent size bedrooms (three of them huge!) and two Bathrooms (Ensuite Shower Room and the Main Bathroom).

The 52ft Garden is also elevated and so also benefits from the far reaching views and being South-West facing means it's a real Sun Trap - the remote controlled Awning over the Patio a real boon during the warm summer months.

The Accommodation:

Double glazed entrance door through to:
Hall


Notably well lit courtesy of a large window on the half landing, flooding light over the stairwell and down into the Hall.

A full height cloaks cupboard provides useful storage.
Ground floor WC room


Fitted with a modern 'Cloakroom' suite of a Light Oak effect Vanity unit and matching 'back-to-wall' WC unit.

With ceramic floor tiling, a mirrored bathroom cabinet and a side facing obscure glass window.

Extended lounge 23ft 6' x 11ft 8' (7.2m x 3.6m)

Essentially two rooms in one, the 8ft 6' wide arch dividing the room into two areas - lending itself perhaps as a Lounge area at one end and a Family Area the other etc.

A wide set of bifold indoors bathes this room in light, with further light coming through a feature circular, front facing window.

A further focal point is the wall hung contemporary electric fire, which will be remaining.

Nb: It is important to note that the property enjoys an elevated setting and with some of the taller plants and trees in the garden trimmed down, one could enjoy a splendid view from both the Lounge and Dining Room, as well as the upstairs bedrooms.

Extended dining room 23ft 6' x 10ft (7.2m x 3m)

Identical in length and design to the lounge, this time with a 7ft 8' arch dividing the room into two areas.

Presently laid out with the Dining Area at the near end, a Sitting Area at the top end to enjoy that fabulous rear outlook.

Like the Lounge, a set of bifold doors flood this room with light, with a further side facing window bringing even more into the Dining Area.

A discreet low level door on the left as you enter, opens to reveal the understairs cupboard - a nifty tucked away storage facility.

Kitchen 12ft 1 x 9ft 2' 3.7m x 2.8m)

Fitted with a dated yet very functional range of White Gloss Kitchen units, incorporating a built-in cda Gas Hob with an integrated Extractor Hood above, Bosch Multi-Function Oven, built-in Microwave and spaces for a Dishwasher and a Fridge/Freezer.

Upon the wall is a Vaillant ecoTEC plus 424 Gas Boiler serving the Gas Central Heating via radiators and Hot Water and plenty of light flows in through the front facing Bay window and the fully glazed external side door.

Utility room 8ft 6' x 6ft 6' (2.6m x 2m)

Like the Kitchen, fitted with a range of dated but fully functional units, incorporating a single bowl, single drainer sink unit.

There's plenty of room along the opposite wall for the usual appliances, the side facing window gives natural light and on the near wall we noted a modern Electrical Consumer Unit.

Stairs from Hall to:

1st floor landing

The aforementioned large window on the half landing also throws light across the stairwell and onto the landing, where a surprisingly large airing cupboard houses the hot water tank.

The Loft hatch has a pull down ladder and the Loft is part boarded and has a light too.

Master bedroom 14ft 10' x 11ft 10' (4.5m x 3.6m)

Nearly 8ft feet wide, the rear facing window enjoys a superb panoramic view, with London visible in the very far distance on a clear day, its high rise buildings perforating the distant horizon.

The bedroom itself is very well-proportioned and comes with two sets of wide double wardrobes and its own private Ensuite Shower Room.

Ensuite shower room 6ft x 4ft 8; min (1.8m x 1.44m)

Fully tiled and fitted with a white suite incorporating a White Gloss Vanity Unit with a wide basin, close coupled WC, and a corner Shower.

Also with a backlit mirror, shaver socket, tall white towel radiator and a side facing window providing natural light.

Bedroom two 14ft 9' x 10ft (4.5m x 3m)

Another bedroom enjoying that fabulous far-reaching outlook through its almost full width window.

Like the master bedroom, this room is also incredibly spacious and comes with fitted wardrobes stretching along seven feet of the near wall.

Bedroom three 12ft 9' x 9ft 2' (3.9m x 2.8m)

Another excellent size double bedroom, this one enjoying a pleasant outlook over this quiet private road, the two houses of character opposite providing a pleasant backdrop.

A built in double wardrobe provides plenty of storage.

Bedroom four 9ft 4' x 8ft 6' (2.95m x 2.6m)

Another good size bedroom, presently a single room although we think that with the removal of the fitted wardrobes and shelving, it could also squeeze in a double bed.

As it is, it is a fine size front facing bedroom.

Bathroom 5ft 10' x 5ft 5' (1.8m x 1.7m)

Fully tiled and fitted with a white suite which includes a separate Electric Shower over the Bath.

Two side facing obscure glass windows provide plenty of natural light.
Exterior - front



The front block paved Drive will take two cars with ease, with the front lawn offering further potential for more parking if needed.

Garage 16ft 1' x 8ft 9' (4.9m x 2.7m)

With a Chamberlain Motorlift 2000 powering the remote controlled Up and Over Garage Door, an internal courtesy door from the Utility Room and a side facing obscure glass window providing natural light.

There is also a fluorescent strip light and a double power socket.
Exterior - rear garden



53ft long and a real Sun Trap as it is South-West facing.

Soak up the Sun and relax on the almost full width elevated Patio, which extends out nearly nine feet giving plenty of room for alfresco entertaining and dining during the warm summer months.

The bespoke Lewens Sonnenschutz Electric Awning glides out to protect the patio from the Sun at the push of a button.

Retained by iron railings, four steps lead down from the Terrace to the lower level Lawn, the eyes drawn to the central circular feature flowerbed with its encompassed paving slabs, which with a small amount of clearing and tidying, could certainly be brought back to its former glory.

The Garden is in need of a good trim, but the nucleus of a great Garden already there and it is also notably secluded from the rear.

The Shed provides useful storage for your garden tools and there is also Gated access on both sides, the left side with a rather good wall mounted retractable Hose, which will be remaining.
