Summary - 68 SWAN LANE WICKFORD SS11 7DD
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious four-bed period home with garden and parking close to Wickford station and schools.
Detached four-bedroom family house with character features and high ceilings
A substantial four-bedroom detached house on Swan Lane offering generous family space and convenient access to Wickford High Street and station. The home retains mid-20th-century character — high ceilings, feature fireplaces and a bay-windowed principal bedroom — and benefits from off-street parking and a secluded rear garden with a conservatory.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple floors with three reception rooms, a family kitchen, ground-floor WC and a single first-floor bathroom in a Victorian style. The top floor provides two further bedrooms and storage, plus elevated views. Total internal area is about 1,324 sq ft, suiting families seeking room to grow and flexible living space.
Practical considerations: the property has an EPC rating of D, solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation, and double glazing of unknown age, so energy-efficiency improvements may be needed. There is only one main bathroom for four bedrooms and some upkeep/modernisation is required to bring services and decor up to current standards. Council tax and local crime levels are above average.
The house sits in an area popular with older workers and retirees but close to several well-rated primary and secondary schools, making it viable for families. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support working from home. This house will suit buyers seeking character, space and scope to improve energy performance and finish.
