Norton Place, Billericay

Hugely impressive, this 3 Bedroom Semi-Detached Townhouse enjoys a very pleasant setting siding onto open countryside in the sought after village of Ramsden Heath, itself just outside Billericay - the Station and High Street just short 6-7 minute drives away.

To the left, behind tall remote controlled double gates, a 48ft long private Drive leads up to a Detached Garage which has been part converted - now a cosy rear Summer Lounge.

The property is situated on 'The Ridings' development, an attractive small estate built in 2006 and situated just of Dowsetts Lane.

Built to a Georgian Townhouse style, the accommodation flows over three floors with the accommodation to the Ground Floor comprising a long Hall with a built-in coat and shoe cupboard, ground floor WC, a dual aspect Dining Room with a side facing projecting Bay enjoying a pleasant rural outlook and a rear Kitchen/Breakfast Room featuring a central Island, Utility Area and a huge understairs Larder cupboard.

Up on the 1st Floor is a surprisingly wide Landing, a generous size dual aspect Lounge boasting fabulous country views and French Doors opening to reveal a Juliette Balcony, one of the three bedrooms (the third bedroom is a really good size and could double as another 1st floor living room) and the Main Bathroom.

Up on the top floor are the two principal bedrooms, both with Ensuites and the large airing cupboard. The Master bedroom is a lovely size with wardrobes running along the entire width and the Bedroom Two boasts a large full Ensuite Bathroom!

The Garden has been professionally landscaped, aiming directly at outside entertaining during the summer months. A long patio runs up to the courtesy door of the Garage, which now opens to reveal a cosy Summer Garden Lounge - the front of the Garage now a useful Store with a loft running over the top of the garden room.

Further features include double glazed mock sash windows, plantation shutters and chrome light switches/sockets in many of the rooms.

Typical of the traditional Georgian town house, the main Reception Room is up on the 1st floor. This one also boasts a lovely elevated outlook with the projecting Bay, like the dining room below, enjoying a pleasant rural outlook over the countryside adjacent to this modern development.

A striking feature is the Astoria Plum' woodblock effect laminate flooring which compliments the Dove Grey walls and the matte white of the plantation shutters.

Second staircase from 1st Floor Landing rising to:

2nd FLOOR LANDING

Another good size landing, certainly bigger than one normally sees up on the top floors of townhouses. We also noted that all the newel posts are topped with chrome a nice feature.

Up on this floor is the airing cupboard, which is a good size at 4 feet (1.2 m) x 2ft 5" (0.7 m) and houses hot water cylinder as well as having plenty of room around for linen storage and looking up, we note the flip down Loft Hatch here too.


MASTER BEDROOM 13ft 9" (4.2 m) x 11ft (3.4 m)

The eyes will be first drawn to the feature wallpaper behind the bed and then to the full width run of built-in wardrobes running along the far wall - with 2 sets of double bi-folding doors to each wardrobe.

Another fine size double bedroom, the measurements excluding a large 5ft 7" (1.7 m) wide built-in cupboard with twin bi fold doors.

Light, almost white, wood effect flooring and the sugar white walls enhances even more this already bright and airy room, which also has its own private Ensuite Shower Room.

LANDSCAPED GARDEN 35ft (10.7 m) x 22ft (6.7 m)

Delightfully quiet as this property of course sides onto Countryside.

Professionally landscaped with a 9 ft square initial deck from the back door, which steps down to a high-quality artificial lawn. This adjacent to a full length slate effect paved patio which provides plenty of room for the owner's hot tub, large 4-seater table and chair set and rattan sofa.

The rear courtesy door of the Garage opens to reveal a lovely Garden Room.


GARDEN ROOM 8ft 2" (2.5 m) x 9ft 8" (3.0 m)

Formed from the rear part of the Detached Garage.

Fully plasterboarded, this is a proper little room, the side facing window overlooking the countryside (once the adjacent hedge has been given a small haircut).

The same feature flooring as the Lounge is out here too, the walls finished in white.

This adaptable room would also of course make the perfect home office, home bar, or maybe even a treatment room. Presently a quiet and cosy Summer Garden Lounge.


A lockable iron gate from the garden leads out to the large Driveway.


DRIVEWAY 48ft 5" (14.8 m) x 11ft (3.4 m) at its narrowest point, widening to 14ft 9" (4.5 m) at its widest.
