Property description
Built around 1922 this ex-farm workers cottage built as part of the Fremnells Estate offers real seclusion and will make you feel that you are a million miles away from all the hustle and bustle. As you approach and pass the pleasant spectical that is Hanningfield Reservoir you will pull up and park your car and feel immediately proud of the home that awaits you. Return home during the summer and you will be relaxing with your feet up in the garden, unoverlooked and enjoying the peace and quiet.
During the winter months you will be enjoying dinner with the log burner on the go before relaxing in the lounge. Venture up to the main bedroom and the first thing you will notice is those fabulous views across the garden and beyond and this dual aspect bedroom really does let in plenty of natural light where another original style fireplace enhances the traditional feel.
With Wickford, Billericay and Ingatestone railway stations within a 10-15 drive and good train services to Liverpool Street, commuting to London is perfectly possible from this location and something the current vendors did themselves for a number of years.
The property enjoys a much coveted westerly facing garden so you can enjoy those last rays of sunshine in the evening and with so much space to the side the property offers exceptional scope to extend (subject to planning consent).
What the Owner says:
We bought the property around 2003 because of its position and its style.
We have obviously made improvements in those years including to the kitchen and bathroom, as well as sanding the floors and decorating and we have always done our best to keep the character of the home.
If you enjoy the outdoors, this is a wonderful place to live with a reservoir and the visitors centre just a short stroll up the road. If you own a dog and are feeling energetic, why not cross the road to walk across Crowsheath and out to Ramsden Heath. We are only a 10-15 minutes drive from Billericay town centre but you really do feel a world away living in such a nice position.
