Set on a very large plot in a quiet Wickford suburb, this four-bedroom detached house offers generous living across approximately 1,823 sq ft. The ground floor provides a versatile, open-plan kitchen/living area, separate family room, study and utility, plus a garage and long block-paved driveway. A substantial south-facing rear garden and an 18'8" x 12'3" cedar-clad outbuilding create excellent space for entertaining, play and home-working.
The first floor hosts four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite and a three-piece family bathroom. Practical strengths include mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — features that suit modern family life and remote working. Local schools nearby include two Outstanding-rated primaries and a highly rated secondary, making the location appealing to school-age families.
Known issues and maintenance points are set out plainly: the house dates from the late 1960s–1970s and the cavity walls are assumed to lack added insulation, so upgrading wall insulation and checking glazing dates could improve comfort and running costs. Council tax is in a higher band (expensive). Overall the property is freehold, in a low-crime, very affluent area, offering a roomy family layout with clear potential for contemporary improvements.
