Broxted Drive, Wickford

Built by the highly regarded developers 'Carter & Ward', this large 4 Bedroom Detached Executive House enjoys a pleasant, elevated setting on the sought after Wick Meadows Estate, with far reaching views from the upstairs and a pleasant front outlook over a greensward.

Its traditional kerbside appeal is contrasted with a very stylish and contemporary interior, the fabulous L-shaped open plan Kitchen/Dining/Living Room the style Hub-of-the-Home and the good size Conservatory opens out to the landscaped 40ft square South Facing Rear Garden which extends around to the side where we thought there's plenty of room for Hot-Tub or Man Cave.

The substantial internal accommodation briefly comprises a big, long L-shaped Entrance Hall (with plenty of room below the stairs for the children's two chair desk and storage unit adjacent) leading round to a ground floor WC Room, the aforementioned L-shaped 32ft max x 26ft max Kitchen/Dining/Living Room, good size Conservatory, separate Utility Room, spacious Landing with storage gallery and the four bedrooms (all doubles), served by an Ensuite Shower Room and large Main Bathroom with both a Bath and a separate Shower Room.

Further features include attractive wood flooring in the Hall, beautiful White Porcelain flooring and Light Grey kitchen units complimented by 'Matt Grey Stone' effect worktops in the Kitchen/Dining/Living Room, a gorgeous Slate Patio and the 16ft x 15ft Garage provides great storage and offers potential for additional living space.

Wickford High Street is an easy 0.8 mile stroll with the Mainline Railway Station only a little further at 0.9 mile, and the local primary Schools, Oakfield and Abacus both have a good OFSTED report and are also close by at 0.4 mile and 0.7 mile respectively. Plus, using the network of local footpaths, the local neighbourhood shopping centre, which includes a Tesco Express, is only a 9 minute walk.

The 'Wick' as the estate is more commonly known, was once a combination of a large natural park and farmland, with the estate designed to retain as much open space and greenery as possible, hence there are a number of pretty walks throughout the Wick, with several enclosed woodland copses peppered about too.
In addition, to the south-east of the estate is The Wick Country Park, 50 acres of former agricultural land which has been landscaped to provide over 2Km of easy access trails, a 5-acre lake, ponds, and woodland.
