Chestnut House, Ingatestone Road, Stock

Be prepared to be astounded… what you see from the front simply does not prepare you for what you behold from the back!

These new build homes are absolutely unique in their style and location. A contemporary and almost barn like design frontage, opens up into a truly magnificent open plan home boasting careful design accents and absolutely stunning views across beautiful Essex countryside. You could be forgiven for thinking you’re on holiday every day of the week, such are the glorious sunrises and sunsets here. Even when the heavens open and the wind is blowing a hoolie, you’ll be mesmerised by Mother Nature’s best and worst. Dragging yourself away from the windows will be a task you’ll have to work hard on!

With this stunning outlook, Chestnut House has been designed to enjoy the views as much as possible - three sets of huge, narrow frame fully opening patio doors run along the back of the house and the primary bedroom suite boasts a Juliet balcony along an entire wall of floor to ceiling windows - it even has a hotel inspired bathtub sitting right in the corner so you can bathe, relax, breathe in the air and take in the calm and tranquility of the surroundings.

Set over three floors, there’s nothing mundane about the design and build of these houses - carefully considered architecture pops up everywhere from the number of different window styles throughout to quirky doorway shapes on the top floor and a mini vaulted ceiling in the lounge.

The kitchen (and utility) with its gorgeous cabinetry and brassware detailing is stacked full with appliances, cupboards and drawers, a central island with breakfast bar and those patio doors opening to a lovely morning coffee spot. The open plan living or family space is vast and, again, opens fully to the rear patio and garden - as does the lounge. The whole ground floor is a beautiful light oak parquet, the doors throughout are panelled with classically styled brass wear and everything is painted in a neutral tone all ready for you to make your own interior design mark.

The main bedroom suite - along with its impressive bath tub - has its own ensuite with double size shower and twin sinks and also a spacious dressing room with four double wardrobes. Bedrooms two and three have ensuites, whilst gorgeous vaulted ceiling bedrooms four and five share a shower room on the second floor.

Set within a small exclusive development of five houses, you feel as if you are in the middle of the countryside. Pretty landscaping and accent lighting add to the elegant feel, Chestnut House has its own carport with a door directly into the utility where you can kick off your muddy boots after a walk and go straight inside.

So for some of the not so obvious features….Chestnut House is an energy efficient eco-house. It has heating controls/thermostats in each room. Underfloor heating throughout, tv and internet points in every reception and bedroom. Delicate brushed gold fittings, black heated towel rails, oversize showers and marble tiling adorn every bathroom and wc. It has a Klargester septic tank, which is extremely low maintenance and eco-efficient.
