House For Sale £1,000,000
Wake up to country views in this very large 4 Bedroom Detached House, which enjoys all the convenience of a suburban location with added countryside as Courtlands cul-de-sac sides onto open farmland yet is only a 0.7 mile stroll to Billericay High Street.
Properties rarely come onto the market in this quiet residential turning as it is the sort of spot that when you are fortunate enough to be able to purchase here, there would be little reason to move - hence why the current owners have been here 22 years and half of the neighbours even longer.
Ideal for families of all ages, the property itself boasts a 6-Car Drive and a 68ft max wide x 41ft deep Garden.
Are you looking for a Home Office, Gym, Studio or even your own Pub in the Garden? Then the 19ft Log Cabin with a large covered al fresco area (and Barrel Sauna - available by negotiation) may appeal.
Or perhaps you'll be attracted to the 'Swimspa' where at one end you can swim against the powerful counter current jets like a treadmill for swimmers, or relax at the other in the Jacuzzi Spa. The Swimspa itself is an all-year-round pleasure due to the Covana fully automated all-in-one roof and cover - up and down in seconds, insulated and strong enough you can stand on it.
Inside continues to deliver on family friendly living space with a hard wearing yet attractive Karndean flooring spreading throughout the 16ft Hall, two almost same size Living Rooms (the front one featuring a woodburning Stove and the rear one with bi-folding doors to the Garden), a huge Heart-of-the-Home Kitchen/Diner with bespoke handbuilt units centred around a large Island Unit and a walk-in shelved Pantry, a separate Utility Room and the good size ground floor WC Room refitted with stylish 'Art Deco' sanitaryware
Upstairs, all four bedrooms are doubles, the Master Bedroom features a separate Dressing Room/walk-in Wardrobe and a private Ensuite Bathroom and the main Bathroom has been refitted as a very on-trend luxury Shower Room.
The 17ft x 14ft Integral Garage is a great size (presently with heavy duty matting down and used as a gym) and has an almost full width remote controlled Roller Door.
Further benefits of this home is the Solar Panels and their accompany batteries - making the electric bills here very low indeed and in the Garage the Vaillant ecoTEC plus 938, a storage combination boiler designed especially for larger homes with a higher hot water demand, an efficiency of 94% and ErP A-rating for both heating and hot water. These along with plenty of loft insulation and double glazed windows helping the property to achieve a notably impressive B rating on the Energy Performance Certificate.

EXTERIOR - GARDEN 68ft x 41ft (21m x 12.5m)
Designed with entertaining and parties in mind - the large Log Cabin offering a multitude of uses and its large overhang providing a large, covered area for all year round use.
Yet this garden also comes with a nod to your well-being. as the amazing SwimSpa will remain.
SWIMSPA
The Roof is from 'Covana' - a Canadian company, which rises up and down at the turn of a key (so no buttons that can easily be pressed by little hands). The roof provides thick insulation allowing all year round use and there's even an 'escape hatch' in the middle just in case.
Under the roof is the Vitas Spas 'ZSP Swimspa' itself, which uses flowing jet streams of water for fitness or relaxation - there's a 16.5ft 'Swim Zone' plus a two seater spa (hot tub).
Powered by Three 7hp pumps the swim zone is plenty big enough for taller swimmers and there is also a built-in Bluetooth Stereo Music System with Sub-Woofer & Shell Speakers, underwater LED lighting and programmable topside controls.
A power swim in the morning - red wine in the spa end in the evening!
LOG CABIN
The other centrepiece is the large 2 year old Log Cabin which has a 13ft 8" x 10ft 2" (4.2m x 3.1m) Main Room plus there is also a large, covered area/overhang which measures 10ft 4" x 9ft (3.15m x 2.7m) - perfect for outside dining regardless of the weather.
Within the main cabin, three windows and sliding doors bring in lots of light, there is a central spotlight and power sockets too and the striking 'Barrel Sauna' may be available by separate negotiation.
We also like the discrete door at the back of the overhang which leads out to hidden storage area where the current owner keeps a plentiful stock of wood for the wood burner. This area approx. 10 m² (108 ft.²)
The balance of the Garden sees a central lawn, deep flowerbed across the back incorporating a raised fishpond with a pump and a 15ft 9" x 7ft 6" (4.8m x 2.3m) 2-Room Timber Outbuilding.
WORKSHOP & SHED
