## Description

** CHAIN FREE ** Cowling & Payne are delighted to bring to the market, this large FOUR bedroom, detached family home.

Entering the property via the entrance hall, you will be delighted to find features such as ground floor wc, kitchen, separate utility room, and dining room. Depending on the work that you were looking to complete, then the wall separating the kitchen & dining room could benefit from being knocked down, creating a large & bright open planned area. Other benefits include a spacious living area leading through to a separate conservatory area. There is also an added bonus for additional living space, as the previous double garage has been converted into a large second reception room, so this could be utilized as a fifth bedroom, home office, or playroom for the children.

Moving upstairs onto the second floor you will then find FOUR spacious bedrooms, the master benefiting from en suite, & lastly a 3 piece bathroom.

Externally due to being positioned at the end of a cul de sac, the property has a large amount of off-street parking. The rear garden is secluded, consisting of a paved patio area, decked area & remainder lawn.

Location wise the property is positioned in a popular location on the Wick Meadows. Nearby to the property, you will find local amenities (Tesco's Parade, Silva Island Way, medical centre) which can be accessed within close proximity. Other benefits include being situated near local bus routes, along with Wickford High Street & Railway station (direct routes into London Liverpool Street & Stratford).
