About this property
Looking for a shorter working day? With Billericay Railway Station just a 10-minute walk away via the footpath at the top of the road, and London Liverpool Street Station around 35 minutes by train, this three-bedroom semi-detached house could be just the ticket for the London commuter.
Gordon Close is something of a hidden gem a peaceful little spot, yet wonderfully convenient for everyday life. Sainsbury's Local is just a 3 4 minute stroll away, while 'The Inn on the Green' is even closer at around two minutes on foot. Lake Meadows Park, with its lake, café, tennis courts and extensive open spaces, is also only around six minutes away.
Queens Park Shopping Centre, with its newly opened Aldi, is approximately a 10-minute walk or two-minute drive, while Billericay High Street is around 0.7 mile away - roughly 15 minutes on foot - offering a great mix of independent and well-known shops, cafés, restaurants and Waitrose.
Inside, the accommodation offers three genuinely good-sized bedrooms, the two original reception rooms and a particularly useful rear extension creating a 15ft x 10ft Dining Room (4.7m x 3m), together with a surprisingly spacious 13ft x 10ft Loft Room (4m x 3.15m).
Plus there's the Hall with adjacent ground floor loo, 'Whie Oak' effect kitchen, and the Bathroom.
There is certainly scope to modernise, with the existing galley kitchen and adjoining reception space offering an obvious opportunity to create a much larger contemporary Kitchen/Diner.
Outside, the approximately 73ft garden (22.25m) adds another string to its bow, with two substantial powered outbuildings offering exciting potential for a home office, studio, gym, workshop, garden room or hobbies space.
In short, this is a home with plenty of scope to put your own stamp on it and some surprisingly useful space already waiting to be unlocked.
The Accommodation in more detail:
Hall
A welcoming entrance with a very handy cupboard and plenty of space for coats and shoes, together with a door leading through to the ground floor WC and another on to the lounge.
Ground floor WC 7ft 2' x 2ft 2' (2.18m x 0.66m)
Fitted with a two-piece 'cloakroom' suite and a small window providing natural light.
Lounge 17ft 7' maximum x 13ft 5' (5.36m x 4.09m)
A particularly generous main reception room with a wide front-facing window maximising natural light, together with a feature exposed-brick open fireplace.
A broad 6ft wide (1.83m) archway leads through to the family room.
Family room 11ft 1' x 10ft (3.38m x 3.05m)
Formerly the dining room, this is now a versatile central reception space with a doorway through to the kitchen and a further, almost 6ft (1.83m) wide archway leading through to the impressive rear extension.
Dining room 15ft 4' x 10ft (4.67m x 3.05m)
A really good-sized rear extension with its own loft above. The room is particularly well lit thanks to the rear-facing window and a set of fully glazed French doors opening directly onto the garden.
Kitchen 11ft 1' x 7ft 4' (3.38m x 2.24m)
Currently arranged as a galley-style kitchen with white oak-effect units, two windows providing plenty of natural light, a built-in double oven and grill, and space for a washing machine and under-counter fridge and freezer.
The adjoining family room provides an obvious opportunity for someone to create a much larger contemporary kitchen/dining space.
Stairs from Hall to 1st Floor Landing
first floor landing 8ft 6' x 6ft 5' maximum (2.59m x 1.96m)
A surprisingly spacious landing with a side-facing window bringing in plenty of natural light.
A pull-down loft hatch with ladder provides easy access to the converted loft room.
Loft space 13ft 4' x 10ft 4' (4.06m x 3.15m)
A very pleasant surprise!
Essentially a proper little room, albeit without windows and a low ceiling (6ft 6' -1.98m), but with lighting, power and full boarding throughout.
Looking at the panelling we suspect it probably dates back to the early 1970s and with some imagination, it could make a really useful day-time access home office, hobbies room or occasional guest space, and we have seen similar rooms fitted with sturdy folding wooden ladders to make the access even easier.
Master bedroom 11ft 2' x 10ft 10' (3.40m x 3.30m)
A lovely-sized rear double bedroom with full-height fitted storage running along one wall, providing excellent built-in storage.
Bedroom two 11ft 6' x 8ft (3.51m x 2.44m)
Another excellent-sized double bedroom, with the measurements excluding the door recess.
The Potterton 'Gold Combi he' Boiler is installed in a corner cupboard.
Bedroom three 9ft 3' x 8ft 5' (2.82m x 2.57m)
A very good size third bedroom which, despite being the smallest, is still a proper double room!
Bathroom 6ft 3' x 5ft 5' (1.91m x 1.65m)
Fitted with a modern bathroom suite incorporating a bath with Triton T80 electric shower over.
A sizeable rear-facing window provides plenty of natural light.
Garden 73ft (22.25m)
A notably good-sized rear garden offering a mixture of entertaining space, parking and useful outbuildings.
Immediately to the rear of the house is a herringbone-design block-paved patio, leading onto a large crazy-paved area which has been designed for dual use as an additional patio and parking area. Beyond this is a shingled area currently housing a polytunnel, which will be removed.
On the back wall of the house an external double power socket and under-soffit lighting are useful practical additions.
At the far end of the garden are two substantial outbuildings positioned at right angles to one another. Although currently separate, there is scope for them to be opened up to create one particularly impressive space.
Shed one 14ft x 8ft (4.27m x 2.44m)
Much more than your average garden shed!
This substantial timber-framed building has a proper flat roof and thus we thought it could potentially be insulated between the roof joists and wall uprights, then lined and finished to create an excellent home office, studio, gym or hobbies room. There is already lighting and power, together with plenty of natural light from twin windows and a part-glazed stable door.
Shed two 16ft x 8ft 9' maximum narrowing to 6ft (4.88m x 2.67m > 1.83m)
A substantial workshop/store with lighting and power already connected, including a garage-style consumer unit mounted high on the wall.
Together with Shed One, this provides an unusually versatile amount of additional space at the end of the garden.
