" Situated in the village of Crays Hill, itself midway between the towns of Billericay and Wickford ? both with mainline railway stations on the Liverpool Street line, this three bedroom semi-detached house is set well back from the main road giving an abundance of parking and boasts garden 110 feet in length, enjoying country views beyond.

Fully refurbished and extended, this is now a very stylish and contemporary affair both inside and out, with behind the bright red front door, beautifully presented accommodation including a 23 feet long Quartz topped ?Navy and White Gloss` fully fitted KitchenBreakfast Room featuring a huge 2.5m x 1.2m Island Unit with a rather swish `Combination` Induction Hob featuring an integrated downdraft Extractor and a 4-Seater Breakfast Bar, a large adjacent Utility Room with a door through to the attached Garage (which has a radiator), gorgeous ground floor Shower room and across the back, the Lounge is bathed in light by two big sets of patio doors enjoying the country views and featuring a woodburning Stove.

Downstairs also has a very versatile 16ft second reception room which could`ve course make a fourth bedroom.

Upstairs are the three double bedrooms and the bathroom ? currently fitted out as a luxury shower room.

At the end of the garden is a full width concrete area housing a large 19 feet long Cabin, incorporating electrics and a ?hot and cold` Air-conditioner.
The concrete area is perfectly flat so you can pave straight over or deck, as the fancy takes you.

Although in a rural village surrounded by countryside, there is full mains drainage and gas - with up in the loft (which has been re-felted) the new Combination Boiler.

The property is very conveniently located in the village, with bus stops for either direction a couple of doors up and across the road, the Shepherd and dog pubrestaurant is a handy one minute stroll up the road (has a great reputation and serves locally sourced classic dishes and afternoon tea, as well as a good pint), and heading in the other direction and again, just a few minutes` walk away, is the village Convenience Store and Post Office.

Billericay town is a quick three-minute drive and has a quaint but well stocked High Street with a central Waitrose Store and plenty of great eating places intermingled with popular bars and pubs.

An external double power socket is installed on the back wall of the house and to the left as you go out, is an open woodstore for the stove, which will be remaining.

Steps lead down to the main lawn which has sleeper retained beds on the left, and a characterful Silver Birch tree on the right.

The paved path winds down to a concreted area at the end, approx 24ft deep and the full width. Here we have the large, detached CABIN with a shed tucked behind to the right.
The concreted area is very flat and perfect to be paved or decked straight over.


CABIN 18ft 9&quote; x 9ft 1&quote; (5.72m x 2.77m)

The perfect Home Bar. The four windows and the set of central double doors are all double glazed, and there is also a wall mounted Samsung `hot and cold` Air-Conditioning unit for all year-round use.

The party bar has already been installed, just awaiting stocking with your drinks.

Solar powered lights under the projecting front overhang give evening illumination, which along with the zigzagging garden festoon lighting (to remain), and the five outside lights, makes for a garden designed for entertaining at all times of day.

FYI, the SHED measures approximately 6ft x 5ft (1.83m x 1.52m).
