Church Lane, Abridge, Essex

Located in the scenic village of Abridge, Essex, this beautifully maintained four-bedroom semi-detached house offers both modern luxuries alongside original character features.

Upon arrival at the property, you are greeted by the sounds of birds and the stunning views of the countryside. The front garden also comprises ample parking, double garage with electric charging point and established flower beds filled with roses and a selection of perennial's setting the tone of what this countryside house has to offer.

As you step inside you are met with a bright and welcoming hallway that leads to the charming lounge that is bursting with character. The lounge features both original exposed beams and wooden flooring alongside a stunning brick built open fireplace making this the perfect place to gather round and relax with friends and family in the colder months.

Leading on from the lounge you are greeted with the spacious traditional cottage style kitchen featuring granite worktops, double butler sink and top-of-the-line appliances. Bi-fold doors allow the kitchen to become the perfect space for hosting in the summer months, bring the outdoors in with the breath-taking views of country fields to the rear often featuring visits from the local wildlife such as deer and barn owls. Additionally on the ground floor there's a utility room with a Victorian laundry hanger and cloakroom.

Upstairs you will find four generous double bedrooms each capturing panoramic views of the countryside. Two of the bedrooms contain en-suite shower rooms, of one which is a wet room, and the bathroom features both a freestanding Victorian roll-top bath and a rain fall shower.

Lastly, the house offers two separate brick-built office/workshops fitted with power creating the most fantastic space to work from home. The generous garden is a real retreat to sit and enjoy the sun set over the fields on the decking surrounded by an array of established shrubbery filled with colour from the hydrangeas and roses.

What the Owner says:

It has been a dream living here, it is a peaceful, tranquil and cosy house with all the mod cons that you could need. It is one of only six houses, which were all part of a small private hamlet, with a Norman church and ancient trees that are over 800 years old.

The area is a wildlife haven, having worked for the RSPB and Essex Wildlife Trust I have been amazed at the amount of wildlife in the back garden and surrounding ancient bluebell and oak woodland. Fallow & Roe deer in the fields and woods, rare birds, turtle doves & barn owls, ancient, protected bluebell woods within 5min walk from the house. The sun sets over the field behind the house all year round and the surrounding fields are protected as agricultural land and will not be built on.

Our daughter grew up here from a baby and had a freedom that these days is rare, as we have no through traffic and very caring little community. We have a WhatsApp group between all the neighbours which is really nice. All our neighbours have been here longer than us and love and care for this little hamlet.

The house itself has a beautiful view from every window and aspect. It's hard to decide if the fire in the lounge or the kitchen are the heart of this home as both bring different ambience. We have had many a lovely evening get together on the deck watching the sun go down and the deer emerge with a glass of wine.
