4 bedroom detached house

This is a captivating and completely unique home, it is deceptively spacious and is situated on a private road, set well back on its mature plot of 1/4 of an acre. Belying the property's early 19th century appearance, this beautiful home was actually built in 1995 from original materials which are believed to have been reclaimed from the much earlier cottage which once stood there. The property is of brick construction under a mansard roof of handmade clay tiles, with rendered elevations relieved by aluminium double glazed windows set in timber mullion frames. Set back on its plot some 90 feet from the lane, the house enjoys high ceilings, bright and spacious rooms and there is much character and a wealth of period features throughout. The house and gardens directly border Thorndon Country Park and is within comfortable walking distance of acclaimed public houses. Herongate is a very sought after village with a thriving community and its convenience store and cricket green. Park Lane is in catchment of St Martins School and is close to Brentwood (3 miles), Billericay (4 miles), West Horndon train station (Fenchurch St) & Shenfield (Liverpool St), as well as the A127 and M25.
