A well-located detached bungalow offering an exciting opportunity to increase the existing footprint to 2600 sq ft

What We Think at the Zoe Napier Group

It is extremely rare for bungalows of this nature to become available and with passed planning consent to increase the existing footprint to an impressive 2600 square feet, it really does offer a fantastic opportunity for the incoming buyer to put their own stamp on the property and tailor it to their needs and specification.  The grounds are the icing on the cake, incredibly secluded and South facing, allow you to enjoy the sun all day in total privacy!

What the owner says

We have loved living here, it’s incredibly peaceful and we will dearly miss the fantastic country dog walks amongst the surrounding countryside.  It’s been hugely convenient having the train station so close that offers and relatively painless commute into London but we have decided to move on and for convenience will offer the property chain free.

History & Background

This superb two-bedroom detached bungalow is situated in a semi-rural location along a delightful country lane on the outskirts of the highly sought after village of Bicknacre.

Internally the accommodation includes a good size entrance hall, sitting room, generous kitchen/ dining room with adjoining conservatory, principal bedroom with en suite shower room, further bedroom and a luxury family bathroom.

Externally the property comes to life and enjoys wonderfully, secluded South facing grounds of 0.2 acres and is surrounded by sumptuous, undulating countryside.

Setting & Location

The property is set back from Leighams Road on the fringes of Bicknacre, a popular village with a favoured primary school and convenience store, conveniently located in-between Chelmsford and South Woodham Ferrers, both of which offer regular train services into London Liverpool Street.

The highly regarded village of Danbury is located a short drive away and boasts a variety of eateries, shops and sports facilities, whilst Danbury Park School (currently rated as outstanding by Ofsted) offers additional schooling. Nature enthusiasts will enjoy Danbury Country Park as part of the National Trust the nearby Backwarden Nature reserve and RHS Hyde Hall.

Secondary schooling can be found at Sandon School and Great Baddow High School with private schooling found in the village for Elm Green (Little Baddow) and Heathcote with New Hall and Felsted schools within the daily school run.

South Woodham Ferrers Station - 4 miles, Chelmsford Station 8.1 miles, Maldon 6.5 miles, Hatfield Peverel 10.7 miles, Brentwood 16.6 miles, Stansted Airport 24.7 miles, M11 Junction 8 24.9 miles

Accommodation

A half-glazed entrance door provides access to the generous, elongated entrance hall, that enjoys an array of replacement solid oak doors and leads to the sitting room, boasting timber flooring and attractive centre piece fireplace housing cast iron log burner, the perfect space to snuggle up during those long, cold Winter months! Situated in the rear elevation is the kitchen/ dining room, an impressive, bright room with splendid views out over the rear grounds and adjoins the conservatory.

The principal bedroom resides in the West elevation of the property, a good size double room that has the added benefit of it’s own en suite shower room, whilst the second bedroom is again a double room that is ably serviced by the luxury, high specification family bathroom.

Please note ; The existing passed planning consent is to extend the rear elevation of the property and converted the loft into further accommodation, creating a four bedroom, two bathroom 2600 square foot family home (plans are available on request).

The Grounds

The property is approached via a five-bar gate, flanked by two red brick pillars and seamlessly flows into the generous shingle driveway that offers plenty of off-street parking and single garage with up and over door, power and light connected. Side access leads to the rear grounds that are mostly laid to lawn with mature flower and shrub borders, beautifully screened and secluded by a plethora of mature hedging, facing South they offer the ultimate sanctuary to entertain family and friends whilst bathing in the sun all day!
