3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Raven Cresent, Billericay CM12

Two thoughtful extensions have truly transformed the space available at this impressive semi-detached home. Situated within the popular Brightside area of Billericay, appealing for its excellent local schools, proximity to Queens Park shops and an approximate 0.8-mile walk to the train station with the High Street just beyond this is a home that will comfortably accommodate a growing family.

The first extension adds a practical utility room and a handy lobby area, perfect for muddy boots and wet coats. The second extension has doubled the size of the lounge which, with full-width patio doors enjoying the garden's south westerly aspect, is now a wonderfully light-filled and versatile living space.

In addition to the generous hallway these houses are renowned for, this property also benefits from a ground floor wet room to accompany the first floor family bathroom, which serves three double bedrooms.

The main bedroom in particular is noted for its surprisingly generous proportions and on many occasions we have seen similar rooms in these properties enhanced further with the addition of an en-suite shower room.

Further points of note include a generously sized rear garden, a detached garage, a recently installed Glow-worm boiler and perhaps most importantly for many buyers, no onward chain.
Accommodation as follows

hallway


These houses are widely regarded for their generous hallways, and this one is no exception.

With doors leading to each reception room, stairs rising to the first floor with useful under-stair storage, and a door to the ground floor wet room, there is plenty of space to welcome guests and move freely throughout the home.

Kitchen/breakfast room 4.36m x 2.71m (14'3 x 8'10)

A good, functional kitchen with a range of wood-fronted oak units providing spaces for a cooker and fridge, with the remainder given over to further storage and a breakfast area.

There is a one-and-a-half bowl sink unit and, to one end, glazed storage cabinets alongside built-in storage which also houses the recently installed Glow-worm boiler.

A side door opens into the utility room/side lobby extension, one of two improvements that have made such a difference to this home.

Utility room/side lobby 2.02m x 1.22m (6'7 x 4')

With space for a fridge freezer and washing machine, this practical utility room also has a handy side door to the outside.

It will very quickly become the preferred entrance after muddy walks and the school run, a genuinely invaluable addition to family life.
Ground floor wet room


Another invaluable addition. Recently fitted and finished to a clean, modern standard, this walk-in wet room features a sealed floor, stylish PVC wall panels, a push-button WC and a wall-mounted hand basin.

Living room 5.79m x 5.69m (19' x 18'8)

This extended living room has been genuinely transformative for the property.

Large and square in design, it lends itself perfectly to creating distinct zones within the space and as currently arranged, there is a dining area, a study space and, of course, a generous lounging area.

With a side window and full-width patio doors spanning the rear, this room takes full advantage of the south-westerly aspect, making it bright and inviting for much of the day.
Landing


A spacious and well-proportioned landing with an airing cupboard and doors leading to each of the three double bedrooms.

Bedroom one 5.75 x 3.31m (18'10 x 10'10)

Exceptionally large and positioned to the rear of the house, this main bedroom benefits from two rear-facing windows that bring in a great deal of natural light.

It also adjoins the family bathroom, and as mentioned, we have seen many of these generous rooms enhanced with an en-suite shower fitted neatly into one corner.

Simply put, you will not find a larger main bedroom in any other style of property at this price point.

Bedroom two 2.9m x 2.72m (9'6 x 8'11)

Positioned to the front of the house, this second bedroom accommodates a double bed and offers a pleasant outlook.

Bedroom three 2.87m x 2.44m (9'5 x 8')

Currently set up with two single beds, this bedroom illustrates its versatility and size very well.
Bathroom


A modern and well-presented family bathroom with wood-style laminate flooring, complementary tiled walls and a clean white suite.

The suite comprises a panel-enclosed bath with mixer taps and a separate shower unit over, a push-button WC and a wash basin.

A wall-mounted cabinet, radiator and side window providing good natural light completes this well-appointed room.
Outside

front


A shared driveway leads down to the garage, whilst a path flanked by garden areas guides you to the front door.

Should additional parking be required, the front garden area could potentially be converted (stpc) to provide further off-street parking.
Garage


Accessed via an up-and-over door, the garage also benefits from a side door opening to the rear garden.
Rear garden


The rear garden measures approximately 50' in depth and enjoys a lovely south westerly aspect, catching the afternoon and evening sun beautifully.

A raised paved patio with a few steps lead down to the remainder which is principally lawn with shrub beds.

A door provides access into the garage, and behind this sits a shed.
