Skylark Close, Billericay, Essex, CM11 2YZ

Quite possibly one of the best designs of two-bedroom houses you will come across. With two bathrooms, including an ensuite shower, carport parking, and a full-width kitchen/diner across the back of the house, this property truly sets itself apart from others.

Both the front and back gardens have been beautifully landscaped, with the 40ft rear garden being west-facing, allowing for plenty of sunshine throughout the day.

The property has also seen significant improvements inside. The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance lobby, a good-sized lounge, and a kitchen/diner with under floor heating and an integrated appliances to include dishwasher. There are two double bedrooms and two bathrooms: the ensuite shower room has under floor heating and a stylish main bathroom has a free standing doubled ended bath.

Additional features include double-glazed windows, built-in wardrobes in both bedrooms, and gas central heating via radiators controlled by a NEST thermostat.

Pleasantly positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac within the modern Mill Grange Development, the property is conveniently located within walking distance of the station and High Street (0.9 miles via the Daines Road/Crown Road shortcut). The area is highly appealing due to its convenience.

Built in the 1990s, the Mill Grange development sits adjacent to the 90 acres of Mill Meadows Nature Reserve. There is also a local shopping parade, including a handy Tesco Express, just a few minutes' walk away. Both the local infant and junior schools have good OFSTED reports and are also within easy walking distance.
