3 bed detached house for sale

London Road, Ramsden Crays, Billericay CM11

As the road winds its way from Billericay to Wickford, it passes through the village of Crays Hill and on towards Ramsden Crays, and it is here. Set back from the main road and facing open farmland, this three bedroom chalet home looks onto the countryside up to Ramsden Bellhouse.

As well as enjoying a lovely semi-rural front outlook, the property is nicely appointed throughout and boasts a south-facing rear extension spanning the full width of the house. This popular addition provides a stunning 23ft x 20ft open-plan kitchen, diner and family room, complete with a large central island and wide aluminium bi-folding doors, this has truly become the hub of this home.

Elsewhere on the ground floor you have a 23ft lounge with an open fire, a study/home office that doubles as a fourth bedroom, a utility room and a ground floor WC room, the latter fitted with a smart toilet with bidet wash function, no less.

On the first floor, two bathrooms serve the three bedrooms, the principal of which enjoys glorious countryside views and a recently refitted en-suite shower room also featuring a smart toilet.

The windows are uPVC double glazed throughout and gas central heating is provided via radiators. Outside, a large in-and-out block-paved driveway with an electric gate, gives security for a motorhome or caravan and leads to an immaculate attached garage with white-painted walls and a tiled floor.

The south-facing rear garden measures an impressive 133ft in depth and includes a newly installed storage shed and a rear gate leading to a vegetable garden area.

Crays Hill village itself has a handy Premier convenience store for daily essentials, and The Shepherd and Dog, a well-regarded local pub and restaurant with a beer garden and large patio, is just a stroll away.

Bus stops in the village provide access to both Billericay and Wickford, each with mainline railway stations offering London Liverpool Street in just 30 minutes from Billericay. Barleylands Farm Shop is just up the road for fresh produce, and the A127 is a mere two-minute drive away giving swift access to Southend, London and the M25.
