Sitting on the outskirts of Billericay within the respected village of Downham, this substantial home resides on an impressively wide, yet secluded plot of approximately 1.3 acres behind electric gates. This property provides a unique blend of accommodation, all of which has been refurbished, with the majority being just 18 months old.
The internal styling boasts a tasteful modern theme, where well-chosen fittings and finishes exude a high level of quality and comfort. The ground floor footprint alone is approximately 2000 sq. ft. (approx. 186 sq. m.), creating a light and airy spacious feel. Generously sized living areas, including an orangery with sandstone floor tiles and a lantern roof, and a kitchen with Siemens appliances, Quooker hot tap and bifold doors opening onto the rear terrace with a swimming pool, give you an entertainment space to be proud of.
The bedroom areas within this property occupy the four corners of this home and are best described as being their own individual suites.
The main bedroom is on the ground floor and features a separate dressing room and a luxuriously fitted four-piece bathroom with a walk-in shower and a freestanding bath. In addition to an extra ground floor bedroom, there are three more bedrooms on the first floor, all with walk-in wardrobes that connect, plus dressing rooms and studio/study areas, instantly creating cozy child spaces.
Outside, the garden benefits from a southwest direction and established surroundings, featuring formal lawns and an extensive patio.
Gates to the side of the house and a gravel drive enable vehicles to access the rear of the garden, where there is a stable block and an additional garden area that was once a floodlit menage.
Sitting just behind the double garage is a duplex one-bedroom annex, which includes a kitchen and shower room but would require some decoration before habitation.
All in all, this is a home that offers great family spaces, big areas for entertainment and secluded rooms for private living.

The adjoining village of Ramsden Heath has an active community and plenty of amenities including three very good pubs - the White Horse (twice voted ‘Best Family Pub in East Anglia and with a built-in shop selling the daily essentials), the Nags Head (traditional village pub much used by the locals) and the Fox and Hounds (92% rating on trip advisor), a very popular family-owned butchers, Coffee shop, beauticians, Hairdressers, recently built air-conditioned village hall and even a Tennis Club which is literally only a 'Serve' away from this house.
The local Downham Primary School has a 'Good' OFSTED rating, with school buses taking the older children to the 'OUTSTANDING' rated Mayflower High School in the adjacent town of Billericay.
