Large detached house on a third-acre plot backing onto fields, ideal for families.
Five double bedrooms and three bathrooms plus ground-floor cloakroom
Set on a private road in highly sought-after East Hanningfield, this substantial detached family home occupies almost 0.30 acres with a southerly rear aspect backing onto open fields. The extended layout delivers nearly 3,000 sq ft of living space including five double bedrooms, three bathrooms, and five well-proportioned reception rooms — ideal for a growing family wanting separate areas for work, study and entertaining.
The house offers practical family features: a 19ft kitchen/breakfast room with oak units, separate utility room, ground-floor cloakroom, gas central heating and double glazing. An in-and-out driveway provides extensive parking and access to a double garage, with room to store a caravan, boat or motorhome.
Buyers should note the property reflects its 1980s origins and would benefit from updating to suit contemporary tastes and energy-efficiency expectations. A minor rear wall hairline crack was recorded in 2018; the neighbouring tree was removed, repairs carried out and a Certificate of Structural Adequacy issued in September 2019. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
This village location offers a peaceful countryside lifestyle with good local amenities — pub, shop, primary school and regular buses to Chelmsford, which has fast rail links to London. The plot size, flexible internal layout and private setting will appeal to families seeking space and scope to modernise and personalise.
