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.
