Description
Welcome to this spacious two bedroom detached bungalow on Bradfield Road in Wix, a charming village in North Essex connected to the A120(A12).
If you're looking for a peaceful retreat after retiring, or simply seeking a change of pace, this property might just be your perfect match. Let's take a stroll through and explore its wonderful features.
As you enter through the opaque glazed entrance door, you'll step into a welcoming porch that connects the outside world to the cozy interior. Wood laminate flooring guides you into the spacious entrance hall. This T-shaped hall offers brilliant storage, including a tall shelved storage cupboard, an airing cupboard with the gas-fired boiler, and a handy coat and shoe cupboard.
To your right at the front of the home, you'll find the well-proportioned living room (3.79m x 4.94m), bathed in natural light thanks to its large bay window. The central red brick fireplace houses a multi-fuel burner, creating a warm and inviting focal point to this superb room. Sliding glazed internal doors lead you into the dining space.
Originally two separate rooms, the dining room (4.82m x 3.10m) is now open-plan to the kitchen, offering an exceptional social space. Laminated white gloss units, an eye-level Neff double oven and grill, and full-height glazed French doors leading to the conservatory make this a delightful area for dining and entertaining.
The kitchen (3.04m x 3.06m) is fitted with soft-closing white laminate shaker-style cupboards and drawers beneath a square-edged granite work surface. A large island with storage beneath provides additional workspace, and a composite sink with a mixer tap overlooks the rear garden. The kitchen also features an integral dishwasher, retractable bin storage, and space for a free-standing fridge/freezer.
Now, let's step into the conservatory (or orangery), measuring a generous 6.15m x 4.22m. Converted into an orangery-style space four years ago, it features an insulated roof and two skylight windows. This bright and welcoming area is constructed with brick at the base and UPVC windows on two sides, offering lovely views of the rear garden. You'll also find a wood burner here, perfect for those cozy evenings, and a personal door to the side leads out beneath the extended pergola.
Heading to the bedrooms, the first double bedroom (3.03m x 3.56m) is located at the rear of the home, offering a tranquil view of the rear garden. Oak-style wood laminate flooring adds a touch of warmth to the room.
The second double bedroom (3.02m x 3.55m) is similarly spacious and is positioned at the front of the property. It boasts the same Oak-style laminate flooring and a large window to the front elevation.
For convenience, there's a separate cloakroom (0.73m x 1.67m) with a WC, vanity sink, and an extractor fan.
Now, prepare to be impressed by the spacious family bathroom (2.36m x 2.87m), fully clad in travertine tiles. It features a panel bath with a mixer tap, a WC, a vanity sink, a heated towel rail, an extractor fan, and a double-width fully tiled walk-in enclosed shower cubicle.
The garage (5.00m x 5.30m) is a practical addition with a double-width electric up-and-over door at the front, an opaque window on the side, and lighting with power connected.
Outside, the rear garden is a haven for sun lovers, facing west and bathing in sunlight from noon until sunset. The garden starts with a block-paved patio area and features artificial grass walkways, small trees, and shrub borders. At the rear of the plot, you'll discover various outbuildings, including a bin store, two sheds, two summerhouses, and a workshop. The workshop comes equipped with light and power and measures 3.5 meters deep by 3 meters wide. The octagonal summerhouse has a maximum dimension of 2.7 meters by 2.65 meters, and the second summerhouse even has a winter covering that can be removed during the warmer months, measuring 1.99 meters deep by 3 meters wide.
As for parking, you'll find off-road parking with a double-width block-paved driveway and a convenient turnaround area.
Finally, Wix offers a tranquil setting surrounded by stunning countryside. You're never far from a peaceful walk or bike ride, and larger towns like Colchester and Harwich are just a short drive away via the A120. Manningtree, with its direct rail connections to London, is only 55 minutes away, making this village a haven of rural charm with easy access to the conveniences of modern life.
