House For Sale £765,000
As the A129 winds its way from Billericay to Wickford, it passes through the pretty village of Crays Hill (also known as Ramsden Crays), where this incredibly spacious 4-bedroom Detached House sits back from the main road, facing the open farmland opposite, the open countryside rolling up towards Ramsden Bellhouse.
As well as enjoying a lovely semi-rural front outlook, the property also boasts a huge 147ft Garden and superb living space - the centrepiece of the well presented accommodation a huge south facing Orangery across the back of the house, in addition to its large Hall with refitted Cloakroom, Lounge with a freestanding Faber Vico 'Log Burner' Gas Fire providing a super focal point, a very big Dining Room, large sociable Kitchen/Breakfast Room, lockable door off the Hall to the oversized integral Garage and four jumbo sized bedrooms served by an equally large Family Bathroom with both a Bath and a separate Double Shower.
The windows are double glazed and there is full Gas Central Heating via radiators.
A large 7-Car Drive (ideal for Motorhomes or Caravans) compliments the 13ft wide integral Garage, which of course offers conversion potential.
CRAYS HILL village itself has a handy 'Premier' convenience store supplying the daily essentials and, in the evenings, and weekends, why not stroll along to the great local pub/restaurant called The Shepherd and Dog, which has a beer garden and large patio - it does good food and quite a range of beers/ales. Bus Stops in the village give easy access to the neighbouring towns of Billericay & Wickford - both with Mainline Railway Stations (London Liverpool Street in 35 minutes from Billericay). Plus, just up the road is the Barleylands Farm Shop, which sells fresh fruit, vegetables, and a large selection of groceries.
The A127 is little more than a two-minute drive away giving access to Southend, London and the M25.
