3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Three Bed House, Ingatestone CM4

A wonderful opportunity for a first-time buyer, a growing family, a young couple or even an investor. Through over 50 years, under the current ownership, this family home has been just that, however, grandchildren have grown up and it’s time to downsize, hence bringing this three bedroom, semi-detached house to the market.

If we said this home had potential it would be an understatement... Subject to planning... You could develop up into the loft (which has already flooring, walls and a window) and/or out at the back to add a first floor to the existing extension. Adding more bedrooms, making bedrooms larger, create a bigger bathroom and more. Notwithstanding the potential, the home already boasts excellent living and sleeping spaces.

A compact entrance hallway provides access to the living room, with a large bay window, to the front of the house... To the downstairs cloakroom and into the dining room, which sits in the centre of the house. The dining room opens up into kitchen which hosts a plethora of over and under cabinets, work tops and room for white goods. Off the kitchen is a shower room with toilet. The conservatory to the rear is a space of light and serenity.

There are three double bedrooms (one a small double) upstairs and the first floor accommodation is completed by a two piece bathroom. From the landing there is loft access to the fully boarded area with storage. To the front of the house, the driveway is block-paved with room for two vehicles.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with well-maintained established shrubberies. At the bottom of the garden is a hidden shed and compost area. So what about the railway line at the back of the house? In a very short space of time you don’t really notice it’s there. Come and view the house, stand in the kitchen, sit in the conservatory and have a meander around the garden and make your own judgement!
