Set on a large corner plot in peaceful Blackmore End, Sandvik is a substantial four-bedroom detached home with generous reception space and a double garage. The house delivers flexible family living across three reception rooms, a study, utility and a lounge with French doors opening onto a secluded rear garden framed by mature trees and lawn. The plot size and driveway for four cars are strong practical benefits for families and those needing parking and outdoor space.
The property retains period character and practical upgrades such as double glazing and oil-fired central heating. The layout suits home working and family life, with ground-floor cloakroom, utility and study, and an en-suite to the principal bedroom. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and local crime levels very low, reinforcing the appeal for buyers seeking a calm rural lifestyle with good links to Braintree and nearby towns.
There are clear areas requiring attention: the family bathroom is in need of refurbishment and some reception areas show a dated finish and carpets that will need modernising. Construction details note a timber frame 'as built' with assumed lack of insulation—buyers should assume thermal and energy-efficiency upgrades will be needed. Services and appliances have not been tested; an independent survey is recommended.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful family house on a generous plot that combines rural tranquillity with practical transport links. It will suit buyers seeking space and privacy who are prepared to invest in updating heating efficiency and interior finishes to realise the property’s long-term potential.
