Stapleford Tawney, RM4

The Old Thatch is a detached character property which offers privacy and tranquility within a countryside setting, a home full of beautiful attention to detail and ideal for both rest and relaxation or entertaining. The house is accessible via an ummade road through woodlands of approx. 117 acres which is a designated SSI site (site of special scientific interest), an area of outstanding natural beauty.

No expense has been spared by the current owners in creating a unique and inviting environment, from the original thoughtfully restored features through to the modern twists of an undercover bar and fully equipped annexe.

On entering the property via the electronic gates, you will find the single storey property surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens, various seating areas amongst the mature shrubs and lawns and the main feature, a natural lake (complete with bridge!) The self-contained annexe is tucked discreetly away from the main house and offers ideal versatile space for guests, a home office, hobby room, gym........the possibilities are endless.

The entrance porch leads directly into the hub of the house, the vaulted farmhouse style kitchen complete with centre island and direct access into the double glazed conservatory which overlooks the lake and gardens, quite a wow factor! Moving on from the kitchen, the lounge, complete with feature fireplace and woodburner, offers a great space to relax or entertain. With vaulted ceiling and full length bi-fold doors overlooking the rear garden, plenty of light floods into the room. The fully equipped bar is just outside so there is plenty of room for summer parties or Christmas gatherings and celebrations. All communal areas have the benefit of durable Amtico flooring so can withstand plenty of wear and tear from pets and children!

The internal lobby also offers plenty of light with doors leading directly to the gardens and plenty of storage space, no house can ever have too much storage!

The main building has three double bedrooms, two of which also offer direct access to the gardens and have the luxury of fresh air on demand! The main bedroom has the benefit of a part vaulted ceiling plus modern wet room and separate wc and once again offers ample overhead storage. There is a generous family bathroom/wc with natural light and double shower cubicle too.

The self contained annexe is presented to the same exacting standards as the main dwelling, lovely period features with a modern twist. There is a generous lounge/home office with extensive views over the gardens together with a bedroom/gym, shower plus wc and small kitchen/utility area.

There are three other outbuildings on site; a carport to the right of the entrance gates, an aviary/kennel with storage and a further log store. All of these could be changed to suit requirements subject to usual planning consents of course.

Overall a beautiful unique character home offering the best of both worlds; peace and quiet in an outstanding natural environment yet still accessible to local towns and villages. Theydon Bois (with Central Line links) Ongar town centre and of course Romford town centre and mainline station not to mention the easy access to M25/M11 /A406 if required are all nearby.
