Set well back on a tree-lined country lane in Doddinghurst, Widbrook Cottage is a substantial four-double-bedroom detached home arranged over two floors. The house offers bright principal rooms — including a large bay-fronted lounge and separate dining room with French doors — plus a sizeable utility and a double-length integral garage, providing excellent space for family living and parking for several vehicles. The garden is a standout: a mature, private rear plot of around 70ft with a paved patio and level lawn, ideal for children and outdoor entertaining.
The accommodation is spacious throughout (approx. 2,045 sq ft) with a master bedroom served by an en-suite, built-in wardrobes across the bedrooms and practical storage on the landing. The fitted kitchen with breakfast bar and the large utility room support everyday family routines and offer scope for layout changes or appliance space. Proximity to Doddinghurst village amenities, good local schools and easy road access to Brentwood and Shenfield stations add strong location appeal for commuters and families.
The property is offered freehold but does require updating in places; décor, some fittings and likely services date from earlier decades. Renovation potential is a genuine value driver for buyers prepared to modernise — improvements could materially increase comfort and value — but prospective purchasers should budget for works. Council tax is high and glazing install date is unknown. Overall this is a large, characterful family house with a substantial plot and clear scope for improvement.
