Summary - LAYLANDS COTTAGE SUDBURY ROAD DOWNHAM BILLERICAY CM11 1LA
4 bed 2 bath Bungalow
Versatile home with two annexes and triple garage close to Hanningfield Reservoir.
Private gated entrance and sweeping driveway
Set within a private gated entrance and sweeping driveway, this detached bungalow occupies an exceptional one-acre plot in a tranquil countryside setting. The main residence provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous master suite with walk-in wardrobe, large lounge, separate dining room and a modern family kitchen — arranged for comfortable family living and entertaining.
The grounds are the standout feature: extensive lawns and seating areas surround the property, and the plot includes a three-bedroom self-contained annex and an additional one-bedroom annex, offering clear scope for multi-generational living or rental income. A triple garage and ample driveway parking add practical convenience for several vehicles and storage.
Finished in a tasteful, contemporary style and constructed post-2012 with double glazing and gas central heating, the home is low-maintenance and ready to occupy. Its rural position near Hanningfield Reservoir combines countryside calm with easy access to Wickford, Billericay and Chelmsford for shops and rail links to central London.
Buyers should note practical constraints: broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and council tax is described as expensive. These factors will affect remote working and ongoing running costs and should be considered alongside the property’s strong space and income potential.
