You could almost set up a zip-wire to get to the centre of Billericay High Street - you really are that close. It is literally across the road from the rear car park of Waitrose!
Plus Billericay Mainline Railway Station is just a 5 minute stroll up Chapel Street and along the last stretch of the High Street.
Although in need of full redecoration throughout, this is more than outweighed by the flat's generous proportions (it's nearly 900sq ft!) and its ultra-convenient location.
Once through the main entrance door and up the stairs (it's on the second floor so great views) a private 'Front Door' leads through to a large initial Entrance Lobby and on into the separate main Hall - both with storage cupboards, the spaciousness and storage a nice first impression.
There's a big and bright dual-aspect Lounge/Diner and a surprisingly big Kitchen/Diner too - with Shaker-style kitchen units and lots of space for a full size dining table.
All the free-standing appliances are included, and the property benefits from a modern combination boiler too.
Both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles, each enjoying a sunny south-facing aspect. The family bathroom continues the generous theme, featuring both a full-size bath and separate shower cubicle.
Externally, the well-maintained communal grounds provide a pleasant outlook, while the property comes with the added advantage of a GARAGE and residents' parking.
Of note, the Lease was extended in 2006 to 157 years. So 139 years remain on the Lease, and it is a 'Peppercorn Ground Rent'.
Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the exceptional space and convenient location this property offers.
The Accommodation
Secure Main Entrance Door with Buzzer/Intercom through to all the apartments. The communal entrance is clean and well looked after, wide stairs rising up through the upper floors.
Up on the top floor landing, the personal 'front door' to this flat leads through to:
ENTRANCE LOBBY 5ft 8" x 4ft 1" (1.73m x 1.24m)
In this initial hall, the door ahead opens to reveal a wide built-in cupboard which houses the modern consumer unit, gas meter, shelving and hooks.
A further internal door leads through to:
MAIN HALL
A nice size L-shaped Hall with a built-in airing cupboard which incorporates a heating bar at the bottom.
LOUNGE 18ft 6" x 12ft 1"min (5.64m x 3.68m)
A super-size living room which is easily large enough to be used as a lounge/diner, more recently used as a lounge with a study area at the near end.
Being dual aspect, it tends to be bathed in light on sunny days.
KITCHEN/DINER 16ft 4" x 9ft 6" (4.98m x 2.90m)
A really good size kitchen, and the fact that it has plenty of room for a four-seater dining table as well, is quite a rarity for a flat.
The shaker style units are in very good shape considering their age, and we think simply new worktops and handles could give this kitchen a few more years yet.
The freestanding Stoves Gas Cooker will be remaining, as will the Hotpoint washing machine, integrated dishwasher and freestanding fridge/freezer.
Up on the wall is a Main 'Eco Elite' Gas Combination Boiler providing the hot water and central heating via radiators and there's plenty of light coming through the two windows.
MASTER BEDROOM 13ft 8" min x 11ft (4.17m x 3.35m)
The dated wardrobes need removing but once done, will reveal a huge bedroom with a very sunny aspect as the window is due south facing.
BEDROOM TWO 13ft 2" narrowing to 11ft 10" x 10ft 1" (4.01m > 3.61m x 3.07m)
Another really good size double bedroom, again with dated fitted wardrobes that once removed will increase the size even more.
Like the master bedroom adjacent, this also has a very sunny south-facing window for maximum light.
BATHROOM 10ft 6" x 7ft 2" (3.20m X 2.18m)
Continuing the theme of spacious rooms, the bathroom is also big, big enough to take both its full-size Bath and separate Double Shower (3ft 3" x 2ft 5" - 1m x 750mm), with a large side-facing window for plenty of natural light.
EXTERIOR
The lawns front and rear are well tendered and there is a Garage and Private Car Park behind.
