North Street

Description

Located in the heart of Southminster, close to the High Street and 0.3 mile from the station with direct rail links to London, this five/six-bedroom detached family home enjoys spacious internal accommodation of over 2,100 sq ft.

The property boasts a self-contained Annex comprising a double bedroom sleeping area with en-suite, partially divided from the living/kitchen area by a fitted wardrobe with overhead cupboards. Above the annex, accessed via a drop down 'Youngman' folding stair ladder is a fully boarded and clad 'Loft Room', which could have a staircase fitted, STPP.

The current vendors have made the property very energy efficient and Eco friendly with Swedish triple glazed draft sealed windows and doors. Hot water is provided from a 300L thermostore, located in study/bedroom 5, fed by solar thermal and thermodynamic heating, a Worcester Bosch gas central heating boiler, and a centrally located multifuel stove with back boiler rated at 5 kW. The latter is sufficient to heat the main living area, bedrooms 1, 2, and the airing cupboard, thereby providing back-up in case of a power cut. Bedroom 1 has air conditioning, and a heat recovery ventilator as has the conservatory. There are 20 solar panels for electricity generation, returning, according to the vendors, £1,500 to £2,000 per annum, via Eon Next.

Rainwater from all the gutters feeds a 4000L storage tank with submersible pump for a garden hose and irrigation zones, plus garden butts, overflows going to a wildlife pond.

.

Externally the front garden has two lawns, is planted with a range of mature trees and shrubs, with an adjacent driveway providing off street parking for several cars and access to the open car port measuring 25' x 14'2".
Through the car port double doors is a) a lobby area fitted with cupboards and a double sink and two large Velux windows in the roof, currently used for plant potting and Winter plant storage, and b) a previous garage, measuring 31' x 11'10", currently used as a workshop but sufficient to house a fully equipped gym.

At the rear, a paved patio area leads to the main garden, comprising a lawn surrounded by beds planted with a range of mature shrubs and trees. Further down the garden is a central tree island surrounded by a slate path also leading to a summer house with power and lighting and a fishpond with pumped waterfall.

The property is protected by a Verisure alarm system linked into an external support team costing about £33.00 per month, subject to small annual increases. Ref: NBC221636.
