Description:
A lovely detached family home conveniently located in the popular Quilters School area and is within easy walking distance of the High Street and station in this popular commuter town.
Our vendors have said:
“Tanglewood is a joy to own and live in”, but now we are selling for retirement to move to the Cotswold nearer to our girls who have “flown the nest”. During the 10 years Tanglewood has been our family home, it has been significantly extended and internally remodelled to ensure it perfectly matches the needs of a busy growing family.
Tanglewood has many great features developed over the 10 years. Its deceptively large living space ensured that with the five bedrooms and three bathrooms the kids had their own space and, in spite of the number of girls in the house, there were no “battles for the bathroom”. The new extension wing provided a very large master bedroom with a matching en-suite (definitely the house wow-factor), a purpose built mirrored personal training gymnasium (now used as a family/games/Wii room) and, for Dad, a large garage purpose built to “comfortably” take two large cars and “the Harley”. Its also worth highlighting that the large drive-in/drive-out gravel area at the front of the house can accommodate at least six cars without having to do the “car-shuffles” when all are at home or with visitors. Privacy at the front is assured by a row of mature conifer trees.
The large easily managed South-facing garden is bordered with a selection of mature trees ensuring complete privacy from adjacent houses. In addition, the cascading pond in a shady corner ensures cool tranquillity on even the hottest days of the year. The large raised terrace has been a favourite feature and is regularly used for large family events etc. A demonstration of just how sunny the garden is the “Tanglewood grape vine” which runs the full length of the house and pergola and can produce circa 100 lbs of wine-making grapes each year.
Its proximity to the mainline railway stations of Billericay (10 min walk) and Shenfield (5 min drive), two excellent schools (public and private), a doctors’ surgery, the Billericay Parks and, of course, the town centre (7 min walk) with all its restaurants and shops have ensured that cars are used only for trips well outside the Billericay area. No need for “school runs” or discussions on “whose turn to drive” when we go out for meals etc. The house will also be well positioned for access to the proposed London Crossrail link to Shenfield and the short rail trips to London and 2012 Olympics.
In summary, Tanglewood is a fantastic home, has its own cottage style personality and, in terms of location, location, location, is perfectly positioned for an active family.
