<p>A smart Victorian home where the fundamentals have already been taken care of, leaving a well-balanced space that’s easy to step into and shape over time.</p><p>Set behind a neatly presented frontage, the house immediately gives a sense of care and attention. The brickwork has been recently repointed and the roof renewed in recent years, with a guarantee running through to 2033, offering reassurance that bigger-ticket items are already behind you. A private driveway runs alongside the home, leading to a garage at the rear, a combination not often found with homes of this era.<br/></p><p>Step inside and the layout unfolds in a traditional sequence. The front reception room is a comfortable place to settle, centred around a wood burning stove with built-in shelving framing the chimney breast. A wide opening leads through to the dining room, positioned centrally and working as the natural link between spaces, allowing light to pass through while still retaining a sense of separation.</p><p>To the rear, the kitchen opens up with a vaulted ceiling and glazed panels that draw in light from above, alongside a wide window overlooking the garden. Fitted with shaker-style units and solid work surfaces, there’s a practical arrangement for everyday use, complemented by a central island-style unit. A rear lobby connects through to a cloakroom and provides direct access outside, making the space work well day to day.<br/></p><p>Upstairs, the layout remains straightforward and efficient. Two bedrooms sit off the landing, with the principal room positioned to the front and offering a comfortable double with built-in storage and retained character features. The second room is flexible, easily serving as a guest bedroom, workspace or nursery depending on requirements. <br/><br/>The bathroom has been thoughtfully finished, combining a panelled bath with shower over, contemporary fittings and useful shelving, alongside an airing cupboard for additional storage.<br/></p><p>Outside, the garden extends beyond the rear of the house with a clear sense of depth (approximately 90’). A patio area sits closest to the property and then the lawn stretches beyond, bordered by established planting, with a more productive section towards the rear incorporating raised beds, a greenhouse and a pergola. It’s a space that feels both established and adaptable, whether used for relaxing, entertaining or growing.<br/><br/></p><p>Altogether, this is a home that combines period character with sensible improvements and a layout that simply works, offering a beautiful place to live now in a sought after North Essex village.</p><br/>EPC Rating: D
