This attractive three-bedroom detached family home sits a few minutes’ walk from Halstead High Street and offers generous, well-proportioned living arranged over two floors. The ground floor provides a separate living room with bay window and log burner (not currently in use), a dining room with character fireplace, a kitchen with pantry and integral appliances, plus a conservatory opening onto a deep southwest-facing rear garden. Fitted storage is included throughout and there is off-street parking to the front.
The rear plot is a standout feature: about 100–120ft, southwest-facing and largely unoverlooked, with two patio areas, pergola, summerhouse and mature borders. The garden backs onto a historic water tower, giving a private, distinctive backdrop. Upstairs are three double bedrooms—bedroom one is dual aspect with built-in wardrobes—and a modern four-piece family bathroom. The partially boarded loft offers scope for a conversion (subject to planning permission).
Practical points are clear and straightforward. The property is freehold, not in a flood-risk area, and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Commuters have Kelvedon station approximately 10 miles away for services to London; the A12 and M11 are within reasonable driving distance. Council tax is moderate.
Notable drawbacks: the living room fireplace is not currently in use and would need work to be reconnected; any loft conversion or ground-floor extension requires planning consent (STPP). The area records above-average crime statistics, which prospective buyers should consider. The front garden could be adapted to create additional parking if required but will need alteration works.
