2 bed semi-detached bungalow for sale

Perry Street, Billericay CM12

In need of tlc but offered with the benefit of no onward chain and boasting a fabulous and lovingly tendered 120ft long Garden, this extended Two Bedroom Semi-detached Bungalow was three bedrooms, the third bedroom now a large Dressing Room with an Ensuite, off the Master Bedroom.

Out Front there is a big In/Out Drive that will park 5 cars with ease and there's a Garage to the side too, although this more for storage now.

Another huge plus is its location in North Billericay close to Buttsbury and Mayflower Schools (Buttsbury Infants is a 3 minute walk - literally just up the road, with Buttsbury Junior School and Mayflower High School both just 4 and 5 minute strolls away too.

Local shops including a well stocked Co-op are a 6 minute walk, Lake Meadows Park is only half a mile away, and the High Street and Station are also within walking distance too. Plus, there is an excellent local bus service too.

Back inside the Bungalow, the accommodation comprises a Hall with a big walk-in cupboard at the end (apparently originally a WC room - some pipework still visible), a rear Lounge overlooking the Garden, lovely big Dining Room with double doors through to the all-year-round Conservatory (there's 2 radiators for winter heating), fitted Kitchen with door to big covered side area, the Bathroom (arranged as a Shower Room) and the two bedrooms - the Master with its big Dressing Room and Ensuite Shower Room.

Further key features to note is that the bungalow has a new roof, there's a modern boiler in the kitchen, Bedroom 2 may have been the original Lounge as it has a Fireplace, the Garage is nearly 20ft long - so great storage, and the Loft... Well now that was a surprise. The roof space is huge and part of it has been converted into a 'room', accessed by a fitted ladder, boarded out, with insulation behind, lighting, power sockets and even some carpet.

The Accommodation in more detail:
Hall


There is a large walk-in cupboard at the end of the hall measuring 5ft x 3ft 6" (1.52m x 1.07m), which we understand was originally a WC room. We can see a waste connection and capped-off water pipe and presume the waste might be under the carpet. Either way, it certainly makes a fabulous storage facility - currently shelved out.

Dining room 16ft x 11ft 2" (4.88m x 3.40m)

At the end of the hall, with a 5ft 9" (1.75m) wide arch on the left, going through to the Lounge and a set of French doors ahead leading through to the conservatory.

An additional side-facing window provides even more light.

Lounge 13ft 9" x 11ft 1" (4.19m x 3.38m)

A cosy sitting room with feature ornate Fireplace.

A part-glazed 'back door' and a large window provide easy access and a lovely outlook over the garden.

Conservatory 14ft 6" x 9ft 5" (4.42m x 2.87m)

An excellent size garden room with two radiators allowing all-year-round use, a 'Pilkington blue' glass roof and double-glazed windows enjoying the vista of the garden.

Kitchen/breakfast room 15ft 5" x 8ft 8" (4.70m x 2.64m)

Fitted with a range of Maple effect kitchen units and granite effect worktops.

There are spaces for a freestanding cooker, washing machine, slimline dishwasher and a tall fridge/freezer.

Two sets of windows and side part-glazed external door provide plenty of natural light, and there's also a two-seater breakfast bar at the near end.

Master bedroom 12t x 11ft 5" (3.66m x 3.48m)

A front-facing bedroom with the large window maximising light and a 4ft 8" (1.42m) wide arch leading through to what was bedroom three, now an ensuite dressing room along with a separate shower room.

Dressing room 9ft 8" x 7ft 6" (2.95m x 2.29m)

The measurements exclude a 2ft 10" x 2ft 7" (0.86m x 0.79m) recess that houses a Vanity with an inset sink and a separate light above.

Fitted along the left-hand wall are fitted wardrobes with sliding doors and along the back wall a matching unit incorporating central drawers with cupboards either side, twin lights either side of the fitted mirror and a handy 4ft (1.22m) high double power socket as well.

Ensuite shower room 6ft 7" x 2ft 6" (2.01m x 0.76m)

With a shower to the right with an electric shower, WC to the left and a high-level wall-mounted heater.

Bedroom two 12ft 3" x 12ft (3.73m x 3.66m)

Although recently a bedroom, this may well have been the front lounge in its early days as it still retains its original chimney breast and knocking on the wall where the fire opening would've been produces a hollow sound, indicating it is simply boarded up, and so potentially able to be opened up again.

To the right of the chimney breast, a door opens to reveal a cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.

Loft room 16ft 10" x 10ft 8" (5.13m x 3.25m)

The loft holds a bit of a surprise. Back in its day, this was used as a trophy room for the owner's car collection - in effect an upstairs, out-of-the-way man cave.

Walls and ceiling have been boarded with plasterboard and where visible we can see insulation as well. The floor is carpeted, there are two fluorescent strip lights worked by a pull cord and two power sockets.

A proper internal door unlocks and leads through to the balance of this huge attic roof space.

Lean-to 21ft 1" x 6ft 10" (6.43m x 2.08m)

Accessed from the side door in the kitchen, this covered link-to-style sideway behind the garage provides a large waterproof additional storage area.

There is a rear set of sliding patio doors to the garden and here one can access the garage through the rear garage courtesy door.

Garage 19ft 10" x 8ft (6.05m x 2.44m)

With a front up-and-over door, mains power and repurposed old kitchen units providing handy storage.
Exterior


The concrete In/Out Drive will take 5 cars.

The rear garden has been lovingly maintained over the years, commencing with a block paved drive.

Its layout and design has almost given it two areas, the top end very secluded and also housing two large sheds.

There are numerous beautifully kept trees and bushes including an impressive Apple tree and a beautiful huge Rose bush.
What we think


The bungalow is in need of updating but this has been reflected in the price and quite frankly this is more than outweighed by its fantastic garden and super potential (the huge Roof space offers easy Loft Conversion potential.

The cupboard at the end of the hall and the end part of the hall itself could easily be opened up with the Lounge and Dining Room to create an even bigger rear living area.

This is a really nice part of town and what many would describe as 'non-estate'.
