Crome Cottage is a substantial detached period home set in roughly 0.25 acres of mature, well-planted gardens in a quiet village setting. The house retains character features such as exposed timbers and redbrick fireplaces, and offers generous living space across multiple reception rooms, a conservatory, and a long kitchen/breakfast room — ideal for family life and entertaining.
The ground floor layout includes two principal reception rooms, dining room, utility and cloakroom, while upstairs provides four bedrooms including a principal with en-suite and built-in wardrobes. Practical benefits include a double-width driveway, an exceptionally large 46' garage/workshop and off-street parking — useful for hobbyists, storage or home business needs.
Important considerations: the property requires renovation and modernisation throughout. Construction is timber-frame with no assumed wall insulation, double-glazing install dates are unknown, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors will affect running costs and the scope of works required.
Sold with no onward chain and occupying an attractive village location within easy reach of Billericay High Street and the station, this house suits buyers seeking character, space and a large private garden who are prepared to invest in upgrading and insulating the building.
