Thynne Road, Billericay

A CHARACTERFUL DETACHED BUNGALOW WITH A HUGE GARDEN, SUPERB CABIN & PLENTY OF POTENTIAL!
If you've been looking for a detached bungalow with a little more about it than the usual, this could be right up your street! Dating back to around 1922 and tucked away in this sought-after, established non-estate road, this surprisingly spacious three-bedroom home combines plenty of character with some wonderfully versatile accommodation and there's certainly no shortage of outside space either.
One of the real surprises is the garden, stretching to approximately 80ft and enjoying excellent side access from both sides of the property. There's a raised deck for entertaining, a paved patio, lawned area and, right at the bottom, an impressive 13ft x 11ft Log Cabin, currently used as a home office but equally suited to a gym, studio, bar or creative space. There's also a large adjoining shed, making this a particularly useful garden for those needing workspace, storage or somewhere to escape!
Inside, the accommodation includes a cosy Lounge, separate Dining Room, light-filled Sun Lounge and a particularly impressive Kitchen/Breakfast Room with a vaulted ceiling rising to almost 13ft. The master bedroom benefits from its own separate Dressing Room and Ensuite Shower Room, while Bedroom Two sits alongside the surprisingly large main Bathroom, complete with both a full-size bath and separate shower.
There's also a versatile study/optional third bedroom, giving the accommodation plenty of flexibility.
And the location? Sunnymede Primary School is literally a two minute walk around the corner, while the local convenience store is around a four-minute walk and Tesco Express a little further away at seven minutes.
Mill Meadows is approximately eight minutes on foot, with both the High Street and Station around 0.8 mile away (20 minute walks a-piece), the latter reachable using the handy Daines Road/Crown Road shortcut.
There's also exciting potential for the future, with scope to enlarge the existing property and planning having previously been granted in 2020 for a replacement four-bedroom detached house. A very interesting bungalow in a very handy location!

LOUNGE 11ft 8' x 11ft 2' (3.56m x 3.40m)
A cosy sitting room with feature media wall incorporating provision for an electric fire and a 5ft 7' wide opening leading through to the Dining Room.

A lovely light-filled space, courtesy of the large, glazed roof, with double doors and adjacent side-light windows overlooking the garden.
Open plan to the kitchen via a generous 6ft 7' wide opening.
KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM 12ft 5' x 11ft 4' (3.78m x 3.45m)
The eye is immediately drawn upwards to the impressive, vaulted ceiling, soaring up to almost 13ft!

The keen cook will appreciate the impressive eight-gas-burner range cooker with two ovens and grill. There is also an integrated dishwasher, integrated washing machine and space for an American-style fridge/freezer.
UPVC French doors, accompanied by side windows, lead out onto the raised deck overlooking the garden.
MASTER BEDROOM 10ft 7' x 10ft 1' (3.23m x 3.07m)
The high ceiling, rising to approximately 8ft 7' adds to the feeling of space.
There is also an interesting, angled wall where we believe the original fireplace may have been. A little further investigation suggests it has simply been lightly bricked up, so there may be potential to reinstate this as a lovely character feature, subject of course to the usual checks.
