Fron Cottage, Alexander Lane, Shenfield, Brentwood, CM15

'Fron Cottage' enjoys an elevated position within Shenfield, backing onto Alexander Lane playing fields, with planing permission granted to alter and improve the facade & elevations, and convert the loft space adding 2 more bedrooms and a bathroom. The home is immaculate and very stylish internally, with an open plan ground floor layout designed for family entertaining. To the first floor are 4 double bedrooms supported by 2 modern bathrooms. The rear garden is quite stunning and of good proportions, having been professionally & brilliantly landscaped, and there is something here for all ages. The planning approval (18/01084/FUL), although lapsed and to be reinstated, would improve this already superb home significantly, providing a modern facelift & more living space and would certainly increase value & appeal. Fron Cottage is situated within Shenfield Park, ideally located for the train station and in catchment of the excellent schools.
