Set on a generous plot in one of South Woodham Ferrers’ quieter streets, this detached four-bedroom house is offered with no upward chain — ready for immediate occupation or targeted improvement. The ground floor layout suits family life: a lounge linking to a large conservatory, separate dining room, study and a refitted medium-oak kitchen with integrated appliances. The conservatory and sliding doors overlook an approximately 80 ft southerly-facing rear garden that receives plenty of sun and offers privacy.
Upstairs the principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room; three further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor. Practical features include PVCu double glazing throughout, gas-fired central heating by boiler and a detached two-car garage with driveway parking for several vehicles. Tenure is freehold and the property sits in Council Tax Band F.
The house has been maintained with a number of refitted white sanitary suites and a modern kitchen, but many of the decorative finishes (carpets, wallpaper and some fittings) are dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating if you want a contemporary finish. The EPC rating is D and broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow — factors to consider if energy efficiency or high-speed home working are priorities.
This home will appeal to families who value plot size, flexible reception space and off-street parking, and to buyers seeking a property with scope to add value by modernising finishes. It’s a strong proposition for those who want a ready-to-live-in house with clear potential to personalise over time.
