Old House Lane, Roydon, CM19

A large, detached and well-presented 1950's bungalow with glorious mature gardens in a quiet cul-de-sac just a short drive from Roydon Station and Marina.

Overall Description

This is a detached 1950's bungalow that was extended to add two more bedrooms in the 1960's and sits down a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of the Essex village of Halls Green. This well-presented property now has four double bedrooms (one currently used as a dining room), a family bathroom, entrance hall, sitting room, conservatory, modern kitchen and utility - so there is plenty of well laid out living accommodation making it ideal, either as a family home - or for couples looking for a spacious bungalow to retire to. The gardens are a particular feature of this property as they are large, mature and well-stocked, so if you love gardening, this property could be for you. The property is set back from the lane by an attractive front garden which has a good-sized private driveway with plenty of parking and turning space. If you are looking to live in a more peaceful, rural location yet still be close to excellent local amenities and transport links, then viewing is highly recommended, so please call to arrange a visit at your convenience.
