Aspire Estate Agents Basildon are delighted to present this outstanding three/four-bedroom detached residence, set on an approx. ½ acre plot and available for the first time in over 20 years. The home enjoys a truly idyllic position nestled between Langdon Hills Country Park and Langdon Hills Nature Reserve, offering a rare combination of tranquillity and convenience.
Situated on a private road within the prestigious Westley Heights location, Aspire Estate Agents Basildon highlight that this property offers both privacy and prestige. Beyond its serene setting, the home boasts far-reaching and uninterrupted views stretching across the surrounding countryside, with the gardens perfectly framing the natural beauty beyond.
The property has been significantly extended and refurbished by the current owners, now offering over 2,000 sq ft of accommodation. Aspire Estate Agents Basildon emphasise the versatile layout, featuring spacious reception rooms, three/four generously sized bedrooms, and direct access to the gardens.
For commuters, Aspire Estate Agents Basildon note that the location is ideal, with Laindon Station just 1 mile away, offering C2C rail links directly into London in approximately 35 minutes. Despite the semi-rural setting, the property remains well-served by local schools, shops, and transport links.
A key feature of this home is the large outbuilding with annexe potential, currently fully insulated and soundproofed. Aspire Estate Agents Basildon point out that while it is presently used as a music room, this versatile space could serve as a self-contained annexe, games room, garden bar, gym, or children’s playroom. Its size and flexibility mean the options are endless.
Aspire Estate Agents Basildon also highlight the property’s modern connectivity, with CAT5e structured cabling to each room and full fibre internet offering speeds up to 1Gbit/s, making this home perfectly suited to today’s digital lifestyle.
