Description

Nestled on a generous corner plot in the sought-after semi-rural village of Bicknacre, this spacious four-bedroom detached family home presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and enhancement. The expansive side garden offers the potential to significantly enlarge the existing rear garden, while the ample frontage provides scope for creating an in-and-out driveway, subject to necessary consents. This versatile property is ideal for a growing family, featuring a ground floor that includes a lounge with a wood-burning stove, a study, a cloakroom, and a conservatory. The substantial open-plan kitchen and dining area has recently undergone some reconfiguration, with the wall between the two spaces removed to create an impressive area that awaits finishing touches. The first floor accommodates four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom, alongside a family bathroom. Externally, the property boasts a garage with an electric door and driveway parking for two vehicles, complemented by a well-landscaped rear garden. The substantial corner side garden is particularly appealing, offering opportunities for further landscaping or the creation of a larger private outdoor space. Conveniently located within walking distance of local shops, a highly regarded primary school, and playing fields, with bus routes to Chelmsford and South Woodham Ferrers nearby, this home combines generous accommodation with a desirable village setting and significant potential for transformation.
