Summary - Hillview, Old Wickford Road CM3 5QS
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Chain-free two-bed with huge first-floor living space ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain free detached timber-framed cottage, circa 1920
A charming detached timber-framed cottage offered chain free in a peaceful South Woodham Ferrers street. The house combines period character with a notably large first-floor living space — a 25' open-plan lounge/diner that brings abundant natural light and flexible entertaining space. Two ground-floor bedrooms and a fitted kitchen make the layout especially accessible and practical for buyers wanting straightforward, single-level sleeping accommodation.
The property sits on a decent plot with a low-maintenance front garden and established planting. It benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and freehold tenure. Local amenities and highly rated primary schools are within easy reach, making this an appealing option for first-time buyers or those seeking a comfortable suburban base.
There are some practical limits to note: the home provides only one shower room, and the attic conversion has a low, sloping ceiling with restricted headroom, limiting its flexibility. Broadband speeds are average and crime levels are average for the area. The house is presented as requiring routine updating rather than a full refurbishment, offering potential to personalise over time.
Viewings are recommended to appreciate the unusually spacious first-floor living area and the cottage character. The property’s chain-free status and freehold tenure simplify the purchase process, while the compact, low-maintenance garden suits buyers wanting less exterior upkeep.
