Set on desirable Berry Lane, this large four-bedroom detached house offers a substantial footprint and a strong opportunity to personalise in an affluent, settled neighbourhood. The property includes an in-and-out driveway, integral garage and a decent plot, making it well suited to a growing family seeking space and future extension potential.
Inside there are three double bedrooms and a generous single room ideal for a home office, plus a very large family bathroom and a convenient downstairs WC. The house is liveable now but requires renovation and updating to bring fixtures, finishes and energy performance up to modern standards — an advantage for buyers wanting to add value gradually. The property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has cavity walls with no known insulation, plus double glazing of unknown age.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators), fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and straightforward transport links: Laindon station and major routes (A127/A13/M25) are within easy reach. Local amenities, good primary schools and Langdon Hills Country Park are nearby, supporting family life and leisure.
Notable drawbacks are factual: the home needs renovation, cavity walls likely lack insulation, council tax is expensive, and the layout reflects its period construction. It is offered chain free, freehold, and presents a clear prospect for buyers who can carry improvement works to increase comfort and long-term value.
