Witham Road, LANGFORD

Location
Melita is situated along Witham Road in the conservation hamlet of Langford. It is approximately 3.7 miles from Hatfield Peverel which has a train station, a direct line to London Liverpool Street, and great access to the A12. Schools and shops are readily available in the nearby town of Maldon, which offers both national and local independent retailers. Maldon is a market town, at the head of a tidal estuary, steeped in maritime history, and is popular with families because of facilities like the Hythe Quay (pubs, Thames Barges, and sailing) and Promenade Park (lake, playing fields etc).

Overview
Melita is an individual detached property, built by the owner and his late wife, that has been extended over time from a three-bedroom bungalow by the addition of a conservatory and games room, and more recently an atrium and annex with a studio/office above, to create vast and unique accommodation of about 2200 sqft floor area. The property sits on an overall plot that measures about 0.79 acres, isn't over-looked, faces southeast, and includes a single garage, a driveway for multiple cars, and vehicle access to the meadow at the rear where there is a large barn, a big summerhouse and a vegetable plot with greenhouse. With the various extensions and grounds, it is fair to say that the property is very versatile and has huge potential for a large family, multi-generation living, or working at home.

Accommodation
