Description

SOLD BY ASHTON WHITE!! Situated within this highly sought after turning, minutes walk of the High Street and Billericay Station, a beautifully presented four bedroom, extended semi-detached house which offers bright and highly appointed accommodation throughout. This stunning house has been adapted and upgraded considerably by the present owners and has to be viewed internally.

The 26' long entrance hall incorporates a modern ground floor cloakroom, large built-in cupboard and also features a return staircase to the first floor with vaulted 'atrium' drawing lots of natural lighting from the first floor. The impressive open-plan kitchen/ dining room extends to some 24' in length with a bespoke fitted range of cabinets, drawers and eye level units finished with 'frost green' high gloss doors and contrasting white quartz effect work surfaces. From the dining area, a pair of glazed double doors open into the comfortable 19' lounge to the rear of the house with tall feature window and double opening French doors overlooking and leading to the garden. The current owners have modified the attached garage into a study/utility room with fitted cupboards incorporating space for washing machine and single bowl sink. Further door to garden and door to storage room.

The generous master bedroom has the advantage of an en-suite shower and adjoins the fourth bedroom, now remodelled and incorporated into a dressing room. There are two further double bedrooms and a superb family bathroom with white suite, quality tiling and three display alcoves.
Outside, the property benefits from off-road parking for up to five cars on block paved driveway.
The attractive west-facing rear garden extends to 50' in length and commences with a wide, dark grey, raised composite deck with raised bench seating and steps down to a neat lawn flanked by a nice array of mature trees and shrubs including Maple, Fir and conifer providing seclusion.

Rent ratio 0.22%
Max investor price (0.8%) £176,250

  • Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
  • Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
  • Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
