Langham Crescent, Billericay

Convert the brick Garden Outbuilding into a studio to work from home and enjoy lazy afternoons with friends and family in the 84ft long Garden, of this 2 Bedroom Ground Floor Maisonette, which comes with its own Front Drive and is just an easy 15 minute stroll from Billericay High Street with its central Waitrose Store.

Local shops providing the daily essentials and including a handy Tesco Express are a 5 minute walk away, as are the local Infants & Primary Schools. and open countryside is little more than a stone's throw away 'around the corner'.

Inside sees the long Hall leading off to all rooms, comprising a Lounge with Fireplace (currently boarded up but in theory easily able to be opened up again), fitted Kitchen with a built-in Oven & Hob, the two double bedrooms (both with built-in storage) and the modern white Bathroom.

It is important to note that the current owner first moved in with two daughters and so they decided to use the Master Bedroom as the Lounge, and the Lounge as the Master Bedroom. The arrangement worked perfectly, and it was never changed back, hence the photos might throw you for a second!

As mentioned, the Garden comes with a useful brick outbuilding 8ft 7' x 8ft, which has a double glazed door, high level rear window and has been plastered to the ceiling and walls - a blank canvas.


HALL

A long Hall accessing all the rooms and with a built-in airing cupboard housing the modern Ideal 'Instinct 30' Gas boiler serving the central heating via radiators and hot water, along with the gas meter and a modern electrical consumer unit.


LOUNGE 13ft 5' x 12ft 1' (4.1m x 3.7m)

(Presently used as the master bedroom)

The tall and wide front facing window floods in lots of light and hidden behind the seller's furniture is the Fireplace, which we understand has been simply boarded up, and so in theory could be opened up again.


KITCHEN 10ft 6' x 9ft (3.2m x 2.7m)

Cream units topped with Slate effect worktops incorporate a built in Electric Hob with a Multifunction Oven below and Extractor Hood above.

There are spaces for a washing machine and freestanding fridge/freezer and the 4ft x 1ft 6' (1.2m x 0.5m) built-in Pantry provides a further useful storage facility.

Plenty of light sweeps through the rear facing window with its adjacent external door opening out to the rear garden.


BEDROOM ONE 15ft 5' x 8ft 4' (4.7m x 2.5m)

Presently used as the lounge, this front facing double bedroom comes with a very large understairs storage cupboard.


BEDROOM TWO 12ft 2' x 8ft 6' (3.7m x 2.6m)

Another fine size double bedroom, this one to the rear and also with a 4ft 2' x 2ft 9' (1.3m x 0.8m) built-in Wardrobe.


BATHROOM 6ft 2' x 5ft 5' (1.9m x 1.65m)

A modern bathroom featuring a Showerbath with an extra wide shower area.


EXTERIOR - FRONT

A front drive provides parking for a large car and as well as the back door from the kitchen, there is also access to the garden through a side gate.

A central path leads down to front door with lawn on the left.


EXTERIOR - REAR

A lovely big 84ft Garden featuring a brick garden Outbuilding.


OUTBUILDING 8ft 7' x 8ft (2.6m x 2.4m)

A sturdy brick built affair with a double glazed external door, window and the walls and ceilings neatly plastered.

We think with electricity run in here it would make a super work-from-home Office or Studio.

ABOUT THE AREA - SOUTH GREEN

The ancient village of South Green was first recorded as 'Southwood Greene' in 1593, becoming the more recognised South Green in 1777.

Towards the top of Bell Hill, Gatwick House, a Grade II listed building from 1767, now secluded from the road by trees, presides over the area which heads down towards the village green on the right.

A great parade of shops on Grange Road overlooks the ancient 'Green' (originally much bigger) and together, they form the heart of the area.

The shops include a Tesco Express Supermarket, Post Office, Chemist, Greengrocer and a pretty good fish and chip shop.

The local South Green Infants & Junior Schools both have 'Good' OFSTED Reports and the area falls within catchment for Billericay Secondary School, also benefiting from a 'Good' OFSTED rating.

Built in 1956 the local village hall serves the community well and on the opposite side of the road a bit further up, 'Main Road Garage' provides petrol and the usual garage services.

The bulk of the residential development has been London Borough estates, built in the 1950's and 1960's to cater for London overspill. That said, there is a number of old properties in the area, particularly around the Green, providing character appeal.

Finally, public transport. There are bus stops a-plenty in the area taking you to Billericay High Street and Mainline Railway Station in minutes and the surrounding towns in little more.
