Mulberry Hill, Shenfield, Brentwood

This substantial detached family home is available for sale for the first time since its construction in 1965, nestled within the desirable Mulberry Hill cul-de-sac in Old Shenfield. Having been in the same family ownership since new, this property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious original home in one of the area's most sought-after locations. Offering approximately 1,577 sq ft (147 sq m) of internal accommodation, excluding the detached double garage, the house is characterized by generously sized principal rooms. Although it has already been extended, there remains further potential for enlargement and reconfiguration, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. Originally designed to feature four bedrooms, the layout was modified upon request to create three bedrooms, including an exceptionally spacious principal bedroom. While the property has been well-maintained over the years, it would benefit from general modernization, allowing new owners to craft a contemporary family home tailored to their specifications. The location offers a blend of tranquility and convenience, with easy access to central Shenfield, including the mainline railway station and a variety of shops, cafés, and amenities within a short walk. Families will appreciate the proximity to highly regarded local schools such as St. Mary's School and Brentwood School. The entrance hall welcomes you with an Art-Deco style staircase that adds a distinctive sense of space. The impressive sitting room is a highlight, providing ample space for large furniture and featuring a stone fireplace as a focal point. Large windows and sliding patio doors flood the room with natural light and open to the garden. The adjoining dining room can be accessed through folding partition doors, allowing for flexible use of space—whether enjoyed separately or combined for larger gatherings. A substantial study addition offers great versatility, suitable for various uses such as a family room or home office, with good natural light from both front and rear windows. The kitchen/breakfast room is generously proportioned, featuring ample worktop and storage space while accommodating a breakfast table. Large windows provide views over the mature gardens, enhancing the bright and open feel of the room. Although functional, this kitchen presents an opportunity for updating or even an open-plan arrangement with the dining room, subject to consent. Completing the ground floor is a convenient WC. The staircase leads to the first-floor landing, which serves three bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC. Access to partially boarded loft storage adds practicality to this already appealing family home.
