Ideally situated in the lovely village of South Woodham Ferrers, this impressive five bedroom property offers an ideal balance of countryside living with easy access to local essential amenities. The property is within walking distance to the train station, village's local school, public open spaces and recreational and leisure facilities. It is also just a short drive away from the bustling Chelmsford City Centre with all its shopping and entertainment options and it's excellent transport links to London and surrounding areas.

Approached via a sizeable, well-maintained driveway that provides ample parking for multiple vehicles, the property is beautifully presented with a full weatherboard exterior, contributing to its character and curb appeal. The double-glazed front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, a convenient downstairs cloakroom, as well as a spacious under-stairs storage area, ideal for keeping household items out of sight. There is a bright and airy lounge with a media wall and feature fireplace, and a French door that opens directly to the rear garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living, an impressive contemporary and functional kitchen diner, fully equipped with modern integrated appliances, a double width range cooker, quartz worktops and plenty of storage cupboards. The ground floor is also thoughtfully extended with the current space being a versatile addition and can serve as another reception area or a formal dining room.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises a contemporary family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, WC, handwash basin with storage beneath, and a chrome heated towel rail. There are three good-sized bedrooms, with the master bedroom benefiting from a shower ensuite for added convenience and privacy. The loft has been converted to provide two further well-proportioned bedrooms with Velux windows, offering plenty of natural light and ample storage space.

Externally, the property is complemented by a low-maintenance rear garden, featuring a small lawned area, composite decking, and a patio, ideal for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining. The double garage has been cleverly converted into additional living space, currently being used as a home yoga studio and extra storage. Adjacent to the studio, there is also a separate WC, further enhancing the practicality of this wonderful family home.

With high demand in this area, Palmer and Partners would encourage early internal viewings to avoid any disappointment.
