Extended detached home with 80ft garden and no onward chain, in central Ongar.
Extended four-bedroom detached house, 1,403 sq ft
Set on a quiet street in Ongar, this extended four-bedroom detached home offers 1,403 sq ft of adaptable living space and immediate possession with no onward chain. The property sits on a decent plot with an established rear garden of approximately 80ft, mature hedging and a flagged patio — a strong outdoors asset for families who value private outdoor space. Off-street parking and a single garage add everyday convenience.
Internally the house retains period character: a bay-windowed reception with hardwood floors and a mid-century brick fireplace, plus bright rooms with generous natural light. The layout is practical for family life but requires renovation to reach modern standards; finishes are dated and some updating to services and décor will be needed. Note there is a single bathroom for four bedrooms which may affect family layouts or renovation plans.
Practical details support long-term comfort: mains gas central heating, cavity-filled walls and double glazing (installation date unknown). Located in an affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, the home is near several well-rated primary and secondary schools — appealing to families. Council tax is above average and the property dates from the 1950s–1960s, so buyers should budget for refurbishment and potential modernisation of wiring, kitchen and bath areas.
For buyers seeking scope to personalise, the house presents clear enhancement potential — extend, reconfigure rooms or update finishes to add value. It will suit a growing family prepared to carry out renovation or an investor looking for a renovation project in a desirable, well-connected small-town setting.
