Property Description

Being set back from the road and approached by a walled and electric gated entrance, this substantial family home features a 1.316 acre plot with swimming pool and provides a sense of privacy.

Whilst the owner tells us of the kitchen/breakfast room and conservatory being areas that form the heart and hub of the home, there’s another favourite space that has provided the family with many enjoyable times. It’s the bar/party room, a 32’11 x 18’1 space for entertaining and over the years it’s hosted many a party, family celebration and family gatherings at Christmas with memories that the family can take with them.

For those buyers that have the need to work from home from time to time the study caters for those times, with fitted desk unit and storage units, alternatively it’s ideal for the children to do their homework in away from distractions within the home.

The sitting room is another generously sized room, again with an emphasis on entertaining, where guests can easily mingle between this room and the bar/party room. Otherwise it’s an ideal space for family to get together and relax, watch that favourite program or simply chat about the day’s events.

The owners explain, “You get the best of both worlds here, it’s a semi-rural position yet by car we have Brentwood and Romford within 6 miles of the home. A tube station at Grange Hill is only 4.8 miles away as is a rail station at Harold Wood, there’s also a good primary school, a golf course and The Royal Oak pub, which is renowned for its food.”

What the Owner says:
“We just knew immediately that when we viewed this property that this would make the perfect home for us. We could see the potential to alter the accommodation to our needs, when we stepped outside, the garden had a wow factor for us.

We have enjoyed living here for in excess of 18 years now, during which time we have converted two bedrooms in order to create the kitchen/breakfast room, the original kitchen is now the dining area off the sitting area. We have added the conservatory, gym/sauna and the walled frontage, whilst also installing electric gates, the alarm system and CCTV cameras.

This has been an excellent home in which to bring up our family, from the spaciousness of the accommodation to the sense of space and privacy provided by the garden. We recall many summers where our three boys spent endless hours in the pool whilst us adults would relax on the patio with a glass of wine.

Our favourite space within the home has been the kitchen/breakfast room and the conservatory. The bi-fold doors open to combine these two areas to create the heart and hub of the home, where family and friends can come together for cooking, eating and relaxation, we tend to spend most of our time between these two areas.”
