Deerbank Road, Billericay, Essex, CM11

Welcome to 'Deerbank' - an utterly exquisite custom built family home on the private and highly desirable
Deerbank Road, Billericay.

Suggested to have initially acted as a defensive formation during the Battle of Norsey Woods in 1381 and later as a bank protecting deer and cattle from the woodland behind, Deerbank Road today is home to just fourteen beautiful properties backing on to 400 acres of heritage woodland.

Our clients commissioned the design and build of 'Deerbank' with meticulous detail a little under ten years ago and have enjoyed using it as their main family residence for the past eight.

Completed to an impeccable standard and offered with no onward chain, 'Deerbank' is an elegant six-bedroom, six bathroom home, standing proudly on one third of an acre. We have no doubt it will continue to act as a sensational family home for the next owners, who will inherit only exemplary workmanship, quality and design.

Let's explore...

Upon arriving home, step through the impressive double doorway to a spacious and bright entrance hall. The imposing oak staircase adds regal symmetry to the space, whilst drawing your eye to the magnificent galleried landing above and inviting reception rooms beyond...

THE HEART OF THE HOME

Let's begin by exploring the exceptional open-plan kitchen and living area, which forms the heart of this incredible home. The bespoke Armstrong Jordan kitchen is a masterpiece in its own right, with striking contrasting cabinetry, the luxurious feel of Silestone work surfaces, and a suite of state-of-the-art appliances by Sub-Zero and Gaggenau, making it a true chef's kitchen. No expense nor attention to detail has been spared in ensuring this space not only looks beautiful but is also seamlessly functional for everyday living, seasonal entertaining, or professional hosting.

The kitchen leads through to a thoughtfully designed utilities area that connects the triple garage, a pantry, a utility room, and a WC. This practical setup ensures the kitchen and living areas remain clutter-free, with ample storage for day-to-day living, secure access into the garages (the ideal home for any supercar aficionado's collection), and access into the garden - helpful following soggy dog walks or for guests needing to use the bathroom (or to grab another bottle of something fizzy) mid-garden party.

The kitchen opens up seamlessly into a spacious living area that offers panoramic views of the expansive garden and the serene Norsey Woods beyond, creating a calming backdrop perfect for unwinding at the end of a long day, entertaining guests, or spending time with family.

The kitchen and living space are flooded with natural light, courtesy of two sets of bifold doors that open directly onto the garden, offering easy access to outdoor entertaining spaces in the warmer months. These doors are not just a practical addition; they transform the space, blurring the lines perfectly between inside and out.

A SOPHISTICATED RETREAT

Moving on from the kitchen, but remaining at the back of the property, is Deerbank's formal living room. A calming and elegant space, it has been finished in a warm Farrow & Ball-eqsue palette.

With views of the garden through the bi-fold doors, underfloor heating and a charming wood burner, this room offers a wonderfully cosy atmosphere for quiet relaxation or entertaining guests, making it the perfect peaceful retreat.

A SPACE FOR WORK AND PLAY

The dining room - perfect for hosting family gatherings, seasonal celebrations, or dinner parties with friends - is located at the front of the house and has been thoughtfully designed to create an elegant atmosphere for entertaining. There is ample room for a large dining table, allowing for memorable meals and cherished moments.

Across from the dining room, the study is equipped with custom joinery, making it the ideal space for those who work from home. Sunny and south-facing, whether you need a peaceful environment to focus or a stylish setting to host meetings, the study is energising, functional and sophisticated. It's the ideal balance of productivity and comfort.

FITNESS FIRST

If you have a passion for fitness or enjoy staying active at home, the home gym is another of Deerbank's impressive features.

Currently poised and ready for visits from the personal trainer, it could alternatively make a brilliant children's playroom, music room or a teenager's hideaway, offering versatility for a growing family.

Additionally, a second WC is conveniently located on the ground floor, making this space even more practical for busy families.

AND SO TO BED...

Heading upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is located to the rear of the property on the first floor and it's a total gem. This exquisite space is nothing short of a sanctuary, finished with calming teal accent tones, spacious his-and-hers dressing rooms, air conditioning, underfloor heating, a French balcony, layered lighting, and a gorgeous ensuite bathroom.

The beautifully crafted bathroom is completed with Calacatta marble, Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware, a freestanding bath, a double shower and views overlooking the stunning garden, creating a tranquil and peaceful environment to start or end your day.

A TASTE OF NEW YORK

The second bedroom is also nothing short of a masterpiece. Designed to the brief of 'New York loft,' this sensational bedroom is every shopaholic's dream.

Stepping down into the room past the walk-in wardrobe, this bedroom is cleverly sectioned by a brick slip-finished divisional wall and is sunny, spacious and trendy - ideal for teenagers or guests alike.

A concealed pamper area is ideally placed between the main bedroom and ensuite, which is fitted with both a shower and a bathtub with a fitted television.

BE OUR GUEST...

he first floor features a further three exceptional guest bedrooms. Each has been individually designed by an interior designer, ensuring each bedroom has a distinct theme and feel.

All three rooms come complete with their own en-suite bathrooms - one with the benefit of a walk-in wardrobe, too - offering comfort and privacy for family or guests.

Whether you are hosting friends, accommodating relatives, or providing a personalised and welcoming space for the children, these rooms offer the flexibility to suit your needs.

MOVING ON UP

The second floor is home to arguably the most flexible accommodation of all. With three rooms, a bathroom and three large storage rooms, it could easily be a self-contained apartment-style floor for guests, multigenerational living or family help such as a night nurse or live-in nanny.

Currently set up as a guest bedroom - and a very handsome one at that - the sixth bedroom is large, bright and welcoming. It has two sizeable storage rooms - one big enough to act as a study, reading room, crib room or a fully-fitted dressing room.

Opposite, you'll find Deerbank's very own bar and cinema... ready and waiting for the next teenage birthday party, graduation celebration or Christmas gathering.

There is also a family bathroom on this level, with a large shower and four Velux windows.

THE GROUNDS

Meticulously landscaped gardens. Huge investment has been afforded to create a beautiful yet practical space, ready for use by the whole family.

The three sets of ground floor bi-folds lead seamlessly onto a paved terrace, perfect for summer entertaining. Composite decking runs from the terrace to the glass-enclosed sun deck which is completed with a carefully placed hot tub - the ideal spot to lap up the last rays of sunshine each day.

Beneath the sun deck is a bonus room, excavated by the current owners in recent years. Perfect for use as a gym, garden bar, art studio, children's den or, of course, as additional accommodation if needs be.

Tiered landscaping not only leads you down to the bonus room, but also to Deerbank's private entrance to Norsey Woods - accessed via a secure gate at the bottom of the garden.
