The Masons plaque dates this extended Victorian Semi back to 1892, when it was built and named as 'Fairview Cottages'.
2025 finds it a very different property, with a huge double story extension built in the 1990's having enlarged it greatly to a now very family friendly 2200sq ft home, with three of the four bedrooms absolutely huge doubles and the 4th bedroom a still good size double which also boasts its own adjacent Annexe Room (perfect Dressing Room, private Study or for the kids, perhaps their own 'Den' to Game or relax in.
The whole house was rendered too, so it all looks in keeping and the cavernous integral 'Plus Size' Double Garage offers even more potential too - we were thinking Annexe, Home Business Premises (Beautician/Reflexology etc) the list is endless.
Inside the double height Hall looks up to a Galleried Landing (great first impression), with glazed double doors swinging open to a 23ft x 13ft Kitchen/Diner which has been re-fitted with Light Grey Gloss units topped with sleek low profile 'Calacatta' white marble worktops, the cosy original Lounge has also been extended but still retains its Fireplace and there are two further ground floor living rooms as well.
Off the Kitchen is a lobby accessing the ground floor WC and at the back of the Garage as a large 10ft x 7ft odd recess that would make a great Utility Room.
Upstairs is the spacious Galleried Landing, the well-proportioned bedrooms (the massive Master Bedroom also with an Ensuite Shower Room) and the main Family Bathroom - surprise surprise also big! (large enough both its double ended Jacuzzi Bath as well as Double Shower).
There's space for three cars on the Front Drive (so off road parking for five cars including two in the huge Garage) and the Rear Garden is nice and private too.
It also enjoys an oasis of a setting down a quite private lane just a two minute stroll from a Nisa Local Convenience Store and a popular local Butchers.
Brentwood Leisure Centre and Weald Country Park are both just short strolls away too and Larchwood Primary School (0.3 mile away) has a Good OFSTED rating as of Summer last year.
Hop in the car or on the bus for a quick ride up to Brentwood Town Centre for your main shopping, its packed historic High Street having many well-known high street names, mixed with smaller privately owned boutiques and a large Sainsburys Store to the north of the High Street.
As of 2022, Brentwood Railway Station is also on the Elizabeth Line and London Liverpool Street is just a short 44 minute journey time.
The Accommodation
ENTRANCE HALL 10ft 9" x 9ft (3.28m x 2.74m)
A great first impression as the eyes are drawn immediately upwards to the vaulted ceiling, soaring up nearly 17 ft (5.18m) over the Galleried Landing upstairs.
Large ceramic floor tiles extend through into the Kitchen/Diner and under the stairs is a handy storage cupboard.
EXTENDED LOUNGE 17ft1" x 13ft'3" (5.21m x 4.04m)
A spacious living room with bi-folding doors opening out to the garden and an additional window for even more natural sunlight.
The focal point is the original Fireplace with its cast iron fire and mahogany surround.
SNUG 11ft10" x 9ft (3.61m x 2.74m)
This versatile room could equally be used as a formal dining room or a playroom.
Sliding patio doors open out to the garden.
DINING ROOM 9ft 5" x 9ft 9" (2.87m x 2.97m)
Another adaptable rear room which could equally be the perfect home office, playroom, or both, as it is presently used.
KITCHEN/DINER 22ft 8" x 13ft (6.91m x 3.96m)
Refitted with an attractive range of Light Grey Gloss kitchen units with integrated handles and topped with low-profile white marble 'Calacatta' worktops.
There is a NEFF Induction Hob with a matching Extractor Hood above and a further matching built-in Double Oven/Grill.
Within the tall units is a large recess for a 3ft3" (1,000mm) wide American-style fridge/freezer.
Integrated within the units are a Dishwasher and a Washing Machine and there's a wine cooler too.
A large projecting peninsula unit provides a 3-Seater Breakfast Bar and in addition to the front-facing window, a skylight further bathes the kitchen area in natural light.
Off the kitchen is a small lobby accessing a built-in cupboard housing the Vaillant combination boiler and there's a further door opening to reveal:
GROUND FLOOR WC 5ft 3" x 5ft 10" (1.60m x 1.78m)
Nicely refitted with a smart white 'Cloakroom' suite comprising a freestanding White Gloss Vanity unit with 'integrated handle' drawers, a close-coupled WC, and next to the vanity unit, a tall, fitted kitchen cabinet providing extra storage.
There is a high-level window for natural light and a chrome towel radiator.
INTEGRAL GARAGE 30ft1' narrowing to 20ft 4" x 17ft (9.17m narrowing to 6.20m x 5.18m)
It's massive!
Bursting with potential yet as it is, providing an incredible storage facility capable of housing two cars, with clear potential for conversion to additional living space.
To the rear, a 9ft 10" x 6ft 9" (3.00m x 2.06m) recess (incorporated within the first measurements) has some of the old kitchen units installed for use as a utility area.
At the back of this 'utility area' is a glazed external door leading out to the garden.
The garage door itself is an almost full width, remote-controlled roller door.
Stairs from Hall to:
GALLERIED LANDING
A lovely feature of the property, gazing down over the Hall and giving an even greater impression of light and air, with the high-level front-facing window flooding light over the entire area.
Bi-folding doors open to reveal a surprisingly large airing cupboard.
MASTER BEDROOM 19ft 1" narrowing to 12ft 6" x 16ft 10" (5.82m narrowing to 3.81m x 5.13m)
This huge, sumptuous master bedroom overlooks the rear garden.
Within the measurements is a 7ft7" x 3ft6" (2.31m x 1.07m) recess with triple sliding doors, opening to reveal a large walk-in wardrobe.
ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM 6ft x 5ft 5" (1.83m x 1.65m)
Travertine-effect tiles on the walls are complemented by the white Twyford sanitary-ware (close-coupled WC and pedestal hand wash basin) and the large corner shower.
A side-facing window provides natural light, and there's a tall chrome towel radiator too.
BEDROOM TWO 17ft9" x 10ft 8" (5.41m x 3.3m )
Another glorious-sized double bedroom with full-width fitted wardrobes along the far wall with triple sliding wardrobe doors.
Looking out of the window, here we noticed the very tall hedge opposite, that in full leaf of summer will make the property exceedingly private and secluded during these warm months.
BEDROOM THREE 13f t3" x 11ft 5" (4.04m x 3.48m)
Yet another very large double bedroom.
Knocking on the chimney breast around the vent, we found the original fireplace has been simply boarded up. The brick chimney around it remains, so we presume it could potentially be opened up again as a feature fireplace...
BEDROOM FOUR 13ft x 11ft4" (3.96m x 3.45m)
Another lovely-sized double bedroom, this one front-facing and also with its own private annex room which offers a multitude of uses!
ANNEX ROOM/NURSERY 10ft 5" x 6' (3.18m x 1.83m)
A versatile space which could potentially be a large walk-in dressing room or maybe even a little Den/Gaming Room/Study.
FAMILY BATHROOM 9ft2" x 9ft (2.79m x 2.74m)
An excellent-sized bathroom, big enough for both its large double-ended Jacuzzi Bath and its 1400m x 800mm walk-in shower complete with a swish Shower column tower panel system with its revitalising rainfall shower.
A large pedestal basin and matching close-coupled WC complete the suite.
This room has also been fully tiled in travertine, and we noted a full-height built-in cupboard providing a fabulous storage facility.
EXTERIOR
To the front is a block-paved drive which will take three cars with ease, and this is excluding the huge DOUBLE INTEGRAL GARAGE.
Access on one side leads round to the garden.
REAR GARDEN
With a full-width block-paved patio, the balance laid to lawn.
Conifers (within your land) provide privacy screening to the left.
