An extended and very large Three Bedroom Detached Bungalow boasting an 84ft x 55ft Garden with two big Cabins in it (one even with a wood burning stove in it), and situated at the non-estate 'west' end of Passingham Avenue, with Countryside literally little more than a stone's throw away, The owners here are relocating to Suffolk, to be near the grandchildren, after loving life here for the past 40 years. The Accommodation briefly comprises an Entrance Hall, Lounge with Fireplace with a wood burning Stove, very large 'Hub-of-the-Home' Kitchen/Dining/Family Room, three double bedrooms, an Ensuite Shower Room accessed via a Walk-through Dressing Room off the Master Bedroom, a very big Main Bathroom and a further separate guest WC Room. The attached Garage also provides great additional storage. The property is in need of TLC in places, but we feel this is more than outweighed by its splendid Garden and its two big Log Cabins and the sheer size of the Bungalow - 1100sq ft odd. Of note, plans were passed in 2004 to go upwards as a chalet, which would have added another three bedrooms up there, along with a bathroom. In the end this was never carried through, as the present day accommodation was more than sufficient, but it is a possible option for those interested. Passingham Avenue borders White Post Farm via Kennel Lane at the end of the road, thus offering nearby countryside access. Local amenities include Grange Road shops (7 mins walk), two good pub/restaurants both under 10 mins away, and nearby schools - South Green (0.3 mile) and St Peters (0.6 mile). Billericay High Street with its central Waitrose Store and the Station at the other end (35 mins to London) is 1 mile away, with good bus links too. The A127 is 5 minute drive.
