John Thresh Way, Langford

SELLERS INSIGHT

We had been living in Danbury for a number of years to be near our children's school, but our house was less than ideal in terms of its busy location, a general lack of space, and a small overlooked garden; so I was keen to find a new family home with a contemporary feel, more space for the family as the children got older, and a quieter setting.

We started our search and soon came across a small enclave of newly built houses on the outskirts of Maldon. The initial attraction was the feeling of space and light as we walked in the front door into the large entrance hall, and this continued as we made our way through the house into the south facing kitchen and family room with views across the garden. We could immediately see the potential in the house; scope to extend into the loft (which we completed two years later); an open plan ground floor designed for entertaining; and the large private garden we had been looking for.

The final selling point was the location. Set in a quiet spot, with countryside footpaths straight from the house, it's amazingly peaceful with the added benefit of a small wood at the end of the garden, which acts as a beautiful backdrop, attracting all manner of wildlife, including muntjacs and pheasants. The wood and the surrounding land are owned by the local waterworks company and are therefore guaranteed never to be developed. We feel as if we're living in a rural setting but with all the amenities of Maldon right on our doorstep.

This has proved to be a fantastic home for all our family. We've hosted many family events and entertained friends, both inside and outside; and the location with its good transport links has been ideal for the children to get to school independently either by bus or by train. The proximity to Maldon itself has been invaluable, enabling them to walk or cycle into town to meet up with friends without needing the Mum taxi service!

We've finally decided to downsize, now the children have left home, and I know we'll find it hard to replicate the same sense of space and light in another house. We also have fabulous neighbours whom we will miss very much but we do love this area so we're hoping our next move won't be too far away.
