Bakers Farm Lane, Blackmore End, Essex, CM7

A rare and exclusive development of just three stunning Essex Barn conversions set within the most idyllic of locations at the end of a private country lane, surrounded by far reaching countryside and wildlife. Finished to the highest of specifications by a respected local developer. Stag Hall is the larger of the three, offering more than 3,200 sq ft of modern family living space over two floors. Generous front and rear gardens backing onto farmland, picturesque pond & extensive parking. Grade II Listed. EPC Exempt.

DESCRIPTION

Accessed via a gated sweeping gravel driveway, Stag Hall benefits from an extensive frontage incorporating a delightful natural pond and formal lawns protected by a brick and flint wall. The rear garden is also generous, predominantly laid to lawn, looking across open countryside to the rear boundary and beautiful paddocks with grazing horses to the side.

Internally the accommodation is extremely light with vast open, vaulted living spaces to the ground floor, which although extremely modern and finished to a very high specification, remain sympathetic to the original barns, with exposed brickwork and stunning exposed timbers.
The first floor the galleried landing leads to a master suite which occupies the entire south west wing of the barn, boasting stunning views of the grounds and countryside, large walk through dressing room and ensuite bathroom with contemporary roll top bath, separate double shower and double length sink. The three remaining bedrooms are also good size doubles with bedrooms 3 & 4 sharing the family shower room. Bedroom two is located in the east wing with its own ensuite shower room. All of the bedrooms enjoy lovely views.

To the ground floor a most impressive, vaulted dual aspect kitchen/family room benefits from exposed original brickwork and central island. It opens onto the rear patio as does the adjoining dining room. This wonderful space is served by a generous utility/boot room with separate cloakroom and entrance lobby from the driveway.

A magnificent drawing room is also part vaulted, dual aspect with two sets of double doors to the front and rear gardens and flooded with light via the floor to ceiling glazing. A solid oak and glass framed turning stairwell rises to the first floor galleried landing which overlooks both receptions. A second ground floor cloakroom completes the internal living space.
