Description

A Charming & Exceptionally Efficient One-Bedroom Village House in Great Wakering

Discover a rare opportunity to acquire this gorgeous one-bedroom freehold house, a haven of peace and efficiency nestled within a lovely mews setting in the historic village of Great Wakering. Meticulously upgraded and wonderfully affordable to run, this home is a perfect retreat for the downsizer or first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle without compromise.

The current owner has thoughtfully enhanced the property, ensuring it is both beautiful and cost-effective. Recent investments include new double glazing (2023) for the lounge and bedroom and a new composite front door (2023), all under a 10-year guarantee.

Step inside to find a home designed for modern living:

  • A bright reception room, perfect for relaxing or working from home, featuring the new windows and practical understairs storage.

  • A high-quality kitchen, installed in 2018, is a highlight. It boasts an abundance of workspace, a Hotpoint electric oven with a Lamona induction hob, an integrated fridge-freezer, a wine cooler, and plumbing for a washer/dryer. With under-counter lighting, plenty of sockets, and space for a small table, it is both highly functional and a delight to use.

  • The first-floor landing is filled with natural light from a skylight, leading to the immaculate bathroom and bedroom.

  • The fully-tiled family bathroom features a full-size bath with a shower over, clever built-in storage, and its own skylight.

  • The impressively sized master bedroom is a true retreat, complete with built-in wardrobes, ample space for a king-size bed, and access to the part-boarded loft—offering excellent additional storage.

Outside & Location:
The property includes an allocated parking space and a small front patio—an ideal spot for a morning coffee. The location is unbeatable; the owner cherishes the peace and quiet and the convenience of having highly-regarded Chinese, Indian, and fish & chip shops, multiple convenience stores, and three lovely pubs all on the doorstep. For nature lovers, the beautiful countryside walks around Wakering Common and the boatyard are a major draw.

Proven Low Running Costs:
This isn't just a beautiful house; it's an affordable one. The current owner's bills are remarkably low, providing a clear picture of the cost of living:

  • Energy: Approximately £50 per month for combined gas and electricity.

  • Council Tax: Band B (approx. £108pm with a single person's discount).

  • Water/Sewage: Approximately £20 per month.

This is a genuine chance to secure a compact, yet perfectly formed and economically savvy home in a highly desirable village location. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the quality and lifestyle on offer.
