Set on over a quarter of an acre (stls) on Rettendon Common, this four-bedroom detached house offers generous space across about 2,007 sq ft and clear countryside views. The ground floor is focused around a bright, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with a striking log burner, integrated appliances and underfloor heating — designed for entertaining and everyday family life. A separate formal lounge gives a quieter retreat.
The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an en-suite, and all three additional bedrooms also have fitted wardrobes. Practical touches include a dedicated utility room, ground-floor cloakroom, plentiful built-in storage and a garage with a large driveway. Comfort and technology are evident: underfloor heating to the ground floor, air conditioning in the main living space and master bedroom, sound systems indoors and to the patio, plus extensive exterior lighting.
Notable negatives are factual and local: broadband speeds are only average and the wider area ranks as deprived, which may affect some services and resale dynamics. The nearest secondary school is rated as requiring improvement. The house is in good condition with modern fixtures, but buyers wanting stronger digital connectivity or higher-rated local schooling should factor these points into their decision.
This property will suit buyers seeking a high-spec rural family home with generous outdoor space and easy access to village amenities and scenic views. It combines modern comforts with scope for landscaping or personalization of the extensive garden and patio areas to maximise outdoor living.
