Set in the sought-after village of West Hanningfield, this chain-free semi-detached house offers practical family living with flexible additional accommodation. The ground floor features an impressive entrance hall, a well-proportioned lounge and a modern kitchen/diner with French doors onto a sizeable rear garden and patio — ideal for children and outdoor entertaining. A ground-floor shower room and separate WC plus a versatile bedroom/reception room deliver adaptable space for home working or guests.
Upstairs are three further bedrooms arranged off the landing, providing private family sleeping zones. A detached annex with its own kitchen and shower room delivers genuine ancillary use — useful as a guest suite, long-stay visitor space, or potential rental income subject to permissions. Driveway parking to the front adds convenience for multiple vehicles.
Practical considerations: the property is an older build (pre-1900) with solid brick walls where insulation details are unknown, and the main heating is an oil-fired boiler (not on a community supply). Buyers should note this may mean higher running costs and that energy-efficiency improvements could be beneficial. Services, measurements and some finish details should be verified by purchasers and their advisors.
Location is a strong selling point for families who value countryside character with transport links: field views and a quiet hamlet setting combine with direct access to the A12 for commuting. There is excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for remote working; local primary and secondary schools are within reach, and village amenities are close by.
