Pound Lane North, Noak Bridge, Laindon, Essex, SS15 4ES

An elegant fronted, Georgian style 4 Bedroom Detached House boasting a fabulous Outdoor Kitchen/Bar Building in the landscaped Garden, 6-Car Drive, Double Garage, and a Cabin offering Business Premises potential.

It's situated just off the Noak Hill Road, so little more than a couple of minutes in the car and you're flying along the A127 to London or Southend, or en-route to Laindon Railway Station - a 6 to 7 minute drive, the trains whizzing up to London Fenchurch Street in just 35 minutes.

Providing nearly 2,0000 sq. Ft of stylish and contemporary accommodation, the Main House is in immaculate and pristine condition, offering luxury living over two floors briefly comprising Hall, ground floor WC, long and wide Lounger with a feature wood burner, big open plan Kitchen/Diner with a large Central Island, Study/Playroom, separate Utility Room and four generous 'all-doubles' upstairs bedrooms served by two Ensuites and the Main Bathroom.

The split level Landscaped Garden is beautiful. It comes with a hugely impressive All-Year-Round Outdoor Kitchen/Bar with spaces for the owner's 'wow' Whistler Barbecue Grill & Pizza Oven (poss available by sep negotiation). The 'sides' comes off for its Summer 'open plan' look - back on for Winter warmth.

The Front Summerhouse Cabin was perfect as the kids 'Den' and we think it would make a splendid Business Premises too (beautician, Home Tutor, Therapist, (Satellite) Office, etc).

Between the Cabin and the big Double Garage has been 'filled in' as a wedge shaped Aladdin's Cave of a Store Area.

Last and not least, there is Planning Permission Passed for the Double Garage and Cabin to be replaced with a 657sq ft (61sq m) Building arranged as Garage/Workshop, Gymnasium and Changing/Shower Room. (657sq ft is around the size of a typical 2 Bedroom Annexe).


The Accommodation

The Front Garden Area is nicely enclosed with a Courtyard style theme and gives a really pleasant first impression when you walk up to knock on the door.

It has been block paved and the waist-high brick wall with its grey painted palisade fencing above and several 'Red Robins', give a degree of seclusion as well as providing a lovely feature.


LARGE OPEN PORCH

Enhancing the front elevation, the practical and aesthetically pleasing Open Porch has a pitched tiled roof.


Front Door through to:

HALL 10ft 4' x 7ft 3' (3.15m x 2.2m)

Beautiful, polished Marble effect Porcelain tiles extend through into the Kitchen/Diner and the ground floor Cloakroom.

The window here and in most of the other rooms too, is fitted with a custom made Plantation Shutter - the adjustable blades allowing a balance of light, privacy, and a measure of security.

The stairs rise up to the first floor and there's a handy understairs cupboard too.


GROUND FLOOR WC ROOM 6ft x 2ft 9' (1.8m x 0.84m)

The gorgeous floor tiles run up the walls here too and compliment the White Gloss 'Cloakroom suite' comprising a full-size Vanity unit and back-to-wall WC with concealed cistern.

There's a window for natural light and finishing touches include a white Quartz countertop counter top over the loo and a tall Chrome Towel Radiator.


LOUNGE 16ft 9' narrowing to 15ft 4' x 15ft 2' (5.1m > 4.7m x 4.6m)

Wider than average which gives it a more spacious feel and the focal point is the Stovax Woodburning Stove within the Fireplace.

The eyes will also be drawn to the wide rear glazing incorporating a set of Double Doors with sidelight windows, opening out to the beautiful, landscaped Garden.


STUDY/PLAY ROOM 8ft 10' x 7ft 5' (2.7m x 2.3m)

A fine size Home Office or Playroom with a BT socket under the front facing sash style front window.


KITCHEN/DINER 24ft 6' x 14ft 4' narrowing to 11ft 5' (7.5m x 4.4m > 3.5m)

Stunning.

Fitted with a gorgeous range of 'Dove Grey' Shaker style units topped with 'Italian Calacatta Marble' look Quartz worktops and featuring a large Central Island and a host of built- in and integrated appliances.

The Island incorporates a 2-Seater Breakfast Bar, NEFF Integrated Dishwasher, Integrated Bosch 'EcoSilence Drive' Washing Machine, a trio of nifty pull-out Drawers, a smart 'Slimline' Wine Cooler and the 1.5 bowl under-mounted sink comes with a 'Hot Tap' providing instant boiling water on demand.

A 'bank' of full height units incorporate twin pull-out 'Larders' and a central 'space tower' with four drawers and shelving.

The sleek, black NEFF 5-Zone 'touch control' Induction Hob sits below a stylish Angled Extractor Hood - its 'tilted 'design giving a very modern look.

Below are two deep pan drawers, a recycling bin and undercounter pull-out Larder. To the left is a full height pull-out larder unit and another tall, shelved unit.

To the right of the Hob is a feature NEFF Slide&Hide ® Multi-function Oven/Grill next to a NEFF Multi-function Oven/Grill/Microwave with a nifty matching Warming Drawer below.

To the right is a recess for a large American style Fridge/Freezer, and to the right again, another full height door opening to reveal the BAXI Solo Gas Boiler.

Further features and specification includes a recess and provision for a wall mounted TV, twin feature column radiators and plenty of room in the modern extension for a large s6-Seater Dining Table - this area well-lit by a large Skylight window and the wide Double Doors opening out to the garden.


UTILITY ROOM 5ft 1' x 4ft 8' (1.55m x 1.4m)

Fitted with 'White Gloss' units topped with a nice Grey Granite effect worktop.

Below the worktop is a large recess for the tumble dryer and a rear facing obscure glass window provides natural light.

Looking up we noticed a full width hanging rail - handy for the washing.


Staircase from Hall to:


1st FLOOR LANDING

A large airing cupboard (3ft 4' x 2ft 3' (1.52m x 0.7m) houses the hot water cylinder and shower pump, and a ceiling hatch provides access to the large Loft which has a light.


MASTER BEDROOM 12ft 10' x 11ft (3.9m x 3.35m)

It's soaring 9ft 5' (2.9m) high ceiling enhances a feeling of light and space and the Plantation shutters have been bespoke made to fit around the feature window that incorporates a central Arch - a nice touch.

Along the far wall, full height fitted wardrobes incorporate a bespoke fitted storage system incorporating twin 'White Gloss' Drawer sets, hanging space and shelving, along with space for a hidden television, all hidden behind modern Light Grey quadruple sliding wardrobe doors.


ENSUITE 7ft x 6ft 1' (2.1m x 1.85m)

Beautifully appointed. Fully tiled with gorgeous sand coloured marble effect ceramic tiles and featuring a 1600mm x 700mm Walk-in Shower with a fixed Showerhead and a separate handset too.

BEDROOM TWO 11ft 9' x 11ft 6' (3.6m x 3.5m)

SECOND ENSUITE SHOWER ROOM 9ft 1' x 3ft 2' (2.8m x 0.97m)

The Shower features a rather swish 'Panel Column Tower' with massage body jets, in addition to its fixed Rain shower head.

The white sanitaryware complements the Travertine effect ceramic tiling and there's also a shaver socket, large mirror fronted Bathroom Cabinet and a side facing window.


BEDROOM THREE 14ft x 7ft 7' (4.3m x 2.3m)

Sparkling wallpaper between the two double wardrobes and below the bridging cupboards above will catch your eye and again, this front facing bedroom also has the notable soft carpet.


BEDROOM FOUR 10ft 2' x 7ft 6' (3.1m x 2.3m)

Yet another well decorated bedroom, this one also to the front and with an internal door opening to reveal a surprisingly large walk-in Wardrobe with two hanging rails and an automatic light.


FAMILY BATHROOM 7ft 3' x 5ft 6' (2.2m x 1.7m)

This designer style Bathroom features a Double Ended Bath and matching 'Roca' sanitaryware - the attractive Freestanding Vanity Unit with chrome feet and a dark 'Plum' cabinet.

EXTERIOR - REAR GARDEN

The rear garden has been beautifully landscaped.

A lovely split level affair with a large lower 'Granite' paved Terrace retained by grey sleepers and with corner steps leading up to the Upper Terrace which houses a HUGELY IMPRESSIVE 'OUTDOOR KITCHEN/GARDEN BAR'.

In front of the Kitchen/Bar is a very neat artificial lawn and the whole garden is encircled by variety of plants and flowers giving depth and character.


OUTDOOR KITCHEN - GARDEN BAR 15ft 6' x 10ft 3' (4.7m x 3.1m)

You could quite happily spend every evening out here, all year round. As presently stored in the garage, are slatted folding doors for the two large openings and the open window - which easily fix to the posts for Winter Use.

The Kitchen Area is plenty big enough for milling around and dancing too, and incorporates a sink with a professional Spray Tap, solid wood 'Butchers Block' worktops, plenty of storage and a Granite topped 'corner' to support a Pizza Oven or similar above and with an open store below for wood and a gas canister.

The twin Beer Fridges and Whistler Kitchen Barbecue are possibly available by separate negotiation.

Around the sink area is an L-shaped 4 Seater Granite Bar and Grey Slate effect Porcelain floor tiles blend perfectly with the Black Granite Bar and corner unit, the black and grey cabinetry and the natural wood of the worktops, upright support posts and the timber clad ceiling.

We also noted it has its own electrical Consumer Unit, inset downlighting, twin Levante 'Over Door Air Curtain Heaters' and plenty of power sockets.


EXTERIOR - FRONT

A 6 - Car Drive runs up to the Detached Double Garage, with a big Cabin to the left and a Store built between the two.


DOUBLE GARAGE 17ft 10' x 17ft 10' (5.4m x 5.4m)

Perfectly square with twin Up & Over Doors, a rear UPVC double glazed Courtesy Door to the Garden, lighting, lots of power sockets and a pitched tiled roof providing lots more storage up in the rafters.


SUMMERHOUSE CABIN 14ft 6' x 14ft 6' (4.4m x 4.4m)

Another perfect square building and with a vaulted roof giving an even greater impression of size.

The glazed double doors, their side lights, and the twin windows either side, provide plenty of natural light, plus there are also two sets of spotlights for the evenings.

We noted an Openreach BT socket, several power sockets, and an Expel Air Vent.

The Vendors explained how it made the perfect 'Den' for the kids and their mates after school, and we thought this would make a superb business premises for those working from home, - Beauticians and the like.

In front of the Summerhouse is a large deck incorporating a purpose-made Bin Store. The Decking could so easily be fenced off to give a more defined business premises entrance.


STORE BETWEEN 20ft 11ft 2' max (6.1m x 3.4m)

Between the Cabin on the left and the Garage on the right, a very unassuming gate style door opens to reveal a TARDIS of a Store!

This wedge shaped Cavern has a main area of 20ft x 11ft 2' maximum - narrowing down to the width of the discreet door. These measurements EXCLUDE another area directly behind the Summerhouse, which was full up of bits and bobs, so inaccessible - but thought to be the width of the summerhouse by approximately 1 metre.

There's three strip lights and its own electricity supply.


NOTE:

The property backs on to a steep embankment, so you are at a much, much higher level then Noak Hill Road below - probably a good 30ft up, so you're not on the same level as Noak Hill Road. A good selling point as there is thus less road noise.
