This Two/Three Bedroom Semi-detached Chalet is situated on the ever sought after street of 'Tyelands', a typical development of the mid 1960's, where the houses were set well back from the road with good size front gardens, giving a wide and spacious open feeling, making the Tyelands of 2025 still a much sought after development.
Using the footpath at the top of West Ridge, a turning around the corner, the High Street is just 0.6 mile away on foot, with the Station at the other end, making this property well within walking distance of the Station for the commuter too.
If education is a high priority, you may be interested to know the property also falls within catchment of Quilters Infants & Juniors Schools, both showboating 'Outstanding' OFSTED Reports.
This particular chalet has the benefit of a rear Dormer extension making the Rear Bedroom and Bathroom much bigger and a partially converted Loft Room providing a useful Study area too.
Modern throughout, the property also comes with a new electrical consumer unit, fresh white decor and recently added carpets throughout. The current occupiers have replaced the boiler and fully renovated the bathroom during their tenure.
The present accommodation comprises a large Hall with attractive wood effect Karndean flooring, leading through to the Lounge across the back with deep pile carpet, a lovely Limestone Fire surround and a big rear facing window maximising light. The property also benefits from an extra ground floor reception room, currently used as a home gym (or 3rd Bedroom/Dining Room - which could also be knocked through with the adjacent kitchen to create a larger Kitchen/Diner) with gorgeous dark wood effect Karndean flooring and a Kitchen with Maple effect units.
The first floor provides a lovely sized dual aspect Master Bedroom with a premium range of matt white 'Sharpes' fitted bedroom furniture, a generous second bedroom (extended courtesy of the now bigger dormer), and an extended Bathroom which has both a Corner Bath and a separate Shower too.
The Front block paved Drive will take three cars in a row with side double gates opening to a side drive up to the garage at the bottom of the garden which has had the roof replaced.
The Accommodation:
HALL 18ft 1' x 5ft 9' (5.5m x 1.75m)
A great first impression, with rich, dark wood effect Karndean flooring and a surprisingly large understairs cupboard housing the new electrical consumer/fuse box and the gas meter.
LOUNGE 15ft 7' x 11ft 7' (4.75m x 3.55m)
Deep pile silvery beige carpet picks up perfectly with the sugar white walls, the large rear facing window additionally drenching the room in light.
The focal point of this room is the beautiful Limestone Fire Surround.
DINING ROOM/BEDROOM THREE 9ft 8' x 9ft 5' (2.95m x 2.9m)
A fresh white colour scheme makes for an exceptionally light and bright, extra ground floor reception room/bedroom. Presently used as a gym and featuring beautiful ebony wood effect Karndean flooring and a wide facing front facing window maximising daylight.
KITCHEN 9ft 8' x 9ft 4' (2.95m x 2.9m)
Fitted with a range of Maplewood effect, Shaker style kitchen units topped with Butter Rum Granite' effect laminate worktops and incorporating a stainless steel Gas Hob with a wide matching Chimney style Extractor Hood above and a Newworld TG0 70 Double Oven/Grill.

Plenty of light streams in through the side facing window and part glazed external back door', which opens out to the wide drive behind the double gates.
Straight staircase from Hall to:
1st FLOOR LANDING
An internal door opens to reveal what was previously a walk-in cupboard with a side facing obscure glass window - now with a wooden ladder providing direct access to the partially converted loft room.
MASTER BEDROOM 15ft 8' narrowing to 12ft 4' x 14ft 3' (4.8m > 3.8m x 4.3m)

A premium range of matt white fitted wardrobes by 'Sharpes Bedrooms' provide an abundance of tidy clothing storage with an original built-in storage cupboard offering even more.
BEDROOM TWO 11ft 6' x 7ft 10' (3.55m x 2.4m)
This rear facing double bedroom, like the master bedroom and lounge, has soft underfoot carpet, and benefits from the extended dormer..
BATHROOM 11ft 5' (into the shower) x 7ft 4' (3.5m x 2.2m)
A rear dormer enlargement has resulted in a larger bathroom than average for this design of chalet in Tyelands.
This has enabled both a corner bath and a separate shower to be installed.
Black slate effect Karndean flooring compliments the white suite and walls, with black slate tiling in the shower providing a nice contrast.
A built-in cupboard, previously the airing cupboard, is now a huge linen and towels store, with the obvious potential to open this up with the adjacent shower to create a huge walk-in shower area.
There is also a side facing obscure glass window, inset low voltage downlighting and an Xpelair extractor fan.
LOFT ROOM 15ft 6' x 8ft 3' (4.7m x 2.5m)

We noted a strip of inset downlighting, electric smoke detector and fitted carpet too.
Of note, the combination boiler has been fitted up here, a Glow Worm Flexicom 30cx which serves the central heating and hot water.
EXTERIOR - FRONT
As mentioned, the neat blocked paved Front Drive will take three cars in a row with ease.
A set of timber double gates to the side swing open to reveal a further secure Drive behind.
EXTERIOR - GARDEN
Coming out of the kitchen door, the block paved side area behind the double gates extends out some eight feet in width and leads onto a paved pathway that runs in front of the rear lounge window and around to the detached garage. Encompassed within is the very neat lawn with railway sleepers retaining raised borders with various plants and a small tree.
At the end of the garden is a raised 16ft x 13ft (5m x 4m) slate chipped area for a table and chair set, rattan garden set, loungers, etc.

Billericay is a popular, historic market town just 30 miles from London.
The market at the top of Crown Road disappeared years ago and Billericay nowadays is more well-known as an excellent commuter town, with excellent rail links to the City (35 minutes by train), very good schools and a charming High Street, part of which is a conservation area.
It also has great access to the key main roads of the M25, A12 and A127.
The town lies on the edge of rural Essex, which makes it a very desirable place to live. This coupled with the City access goes some way to explain the high levels of Londoners we see looking to move here every year.
Since I moved here in 1973 and started as an estate agent in the mid 1990's, I have seen the town grow to where it is now, with some 14,000-15,000 homes and a population of over 40,000.
The Billericay you see today is economically and physically a thriving and attractive place to live and work. There are many open green spaces including the 40 acre Lake Meadows Park, a must in summer, and they throw a pretty impressive Fireworks Night too.
Norsey Woods is a great place for a walk or to exercise your dogs...or the kids! It dates back to the Bronze Age and covers about 165 acres with a visitor centre for the educational visits it has too.
I remember camping there as a cub scout back in the day and both Nick and myself have enjoyed many a afternoon there over the years with our families.
The High Street must be one of the prettiest in the county and dates back to Roman times. The shape we see now certainly hasn't changed much for over 500 years, our office itself is part of one of the 25 old coaching inns the town has seen over the years!
With well over 100 shops including some well known names and some boutique locally owned ones, the High Street also has some great pubs, bars and restaurants. The Chequers is probably the most popular, most people we know rate it as the best pub in town, with newer bars like Harrys Bar, Bar Zero and the Blue Boar, also very sought after, growing venues on friday and saturday nights.
There are too many great restaurants to name, suffice to say you don't need to travel out of Billericay to have a fantastic night out and there's a taxi rank by the station to get you home if you want to leave the car on the drive.
Waitrose is our local main supermarket with there also a very good Co-op over on Queens Park. Smaller supermarkets over in South Green, Sunnymede and along Stock Road also provide a super local service in their areas.
Billericay Christmas Market is a very popular annual event which sees the High Street completely shut to traffic for the day and then filled with stalls selling anything and everything Christmasy!
All the local schools, both Primary and Secondary have good OFSTED reports and there is a good choice of both State and Private. Please feel free to contact our office for more details although the OFSTED website is the ideal first port of call of course.
A BIT OF HISTORY
Billericay has an facinating history, much of which can be researched in our local museum, the Cater Museum on the High Street.
Billericay was first recorded as Byllerica in 1291 with notable events including a Peasants Revolt ending up in Norsey Woods in 1381 and some of Billericay residents, including Christopher Martin, the ship's victualler, sailing with the Pilgrim Fathers to the 'New World' of America on the Mayflower in 1620 - hence the many representartions of the Mayflower ship in numerous local businesses and the Mayflower High School.
In 1916 Billericay became famous as a result of a Zeppelin airship crashing in flames on the outskirts of the town, down what is now Greens Farm Lane.
A union workhouse was built in 1840 which later, together with additional later built buildings, became St. Andrew's Hospital in the 1930s. The regional plastic surgery and rehabilitation unit was opened here the same year I moved to Billericay, 1973. Many a local will still refer the estate there now to me, as 'one of the houses on the old Burns Unit', although it is in fact Stockfield Manor now.
Only the original workhouse building, including the chapel, and the main gatehouse, now survive, converted now into Grey Lady Place, a residential development of luxury apartments.
The railway came in 1889 and opened up opportunities for landowners to sell plots to Londoners looking to move out of 'The Smoke' into a cleaner rural environment. Both myself and Nick have sold many an old 'plot land' home over the years for redevelopment. A few still remain on the edge of Norsey Woods down Break Egg Hill.
With the housing shortage created by the war time bombing of London, pressure to build was great and the new town of Basildon was given the green light. The 'Green Belt' stopped expansion and the blurring of Basildon and Billericay, hence why lot of the Billericay housing estates were built on abandoned farmland around the town centre and Great Burstead/South Green, where permission was more easily granted.
