Set well back on a large, largely secluded plot in sought-after Writtle, this detached three-bedroom bungalow combines mid-20th-century character with a recent high-quality refurbishment. The vendor has carried out a full rewire, new doors, fresh interior and exterior paint, new carpets and a modern fitted kitchen — move-in ready for anyone seeking single-storey living. The property benefits from a wide driveway, garage with upgraded electrics and generous gardens that wrap to either side, offering private outdoor space for entertaining or gardening.
Practicalities are straightforward: oil-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing, and a single modern bathroom. The layout includes a slightly extended sitting room plus a separate dining/reception room, so there’s flexibility for a home office or additional living area. The bungalow’s footprint is average at about 819 sq ft, so it will suit downsizers, those wanting one-floor living, or small families wanting proximity to good local schools.
There is clear redevelopment potential subject to local planning, thanks to the large, triangular plot and the property’s position to the rear of the site. Buyers should note the home is heated by oil (not a community supply), has one bathroom and dates from the 1930s–1940s — while recently renovated, future buyers may choose to update systems or extend under permitted development or with formal planning. No onward chain makes for a quicker completion.
Internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the private plot, the recent works and the flexible accommodation. Local amenities, strong broadband, low crime and highly rated nearby secondary schools add to the village appeal for buyers prioritising lifestyle and convenience.
