Set on a large plot in quiet South Woodham Ferrers, this six-bedroom detached home suits a growing or multi-generational family needing flexible space. The house offers clearly designated reception rooms, a practical kitchen with utility, and a double garage with ample off-street parking for several vehicles.
Accommodation is arranged over three storeys following a 29-year-old roof-raise and conversion to create two top-floor bedrooms. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite; a family bathroom serves the first floor and there is a cloakroom/WC on the second floor. Gas central heating, double glazing and mains services are all in place, and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Strengths include the large, private plot, multiple reception rooms, and generous parking and garage facilities. The property is freehold, sits in a very low-crime, affluent suburb and benefits from good local schools and straightforward road and rail links into Chelmsford and London.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the overall internal footprint is modest for six bedrooms (approx. 1,464 sq ft), the conversion and some fixtures date from around 29 years ago and may not meet contemporary standards, and the property falls in an expensive council tax band. Double glazing is present but install dates are not recorded. These are factual considerations for buyers planning modernisation or long-term running costs.
