Radwinter End, Radwinter, Nr Saffron Walden, Essex, CB10

GODFREYS FARM is a charming and well proportioned detached timber framed farmhouse, peacefully located towards the end of a quiet country lane in the hamlet of Radwinter End. The current owners have lived there for 17 years and in 2016, with the assistance of a local architect, added a stunning new kitchen extension, re-configuring the former kitchen into a study and separate utility room.

Accommodation comprises an entrance hallway with adjacent cloakroom and doors lead to a family room fitted with bookcases and a sitting room with triple aspect, brick fireplace with wood burning stove and oak flooring. A large dining room with a tiled floor features a wide inglenook open fireplace with brick hearth and a staircase leads to the first floor. An inner lobby area connects to the utility room which is fitted with a range of Goddards solid wood base units with butler sink and granite worktop. There is space for a fridge-freezer, and plumbing for a washing machine. A cupboard houses the water softener and a former under-stairs cupboard has been converted into a large walk-in pantry. The study has a twin aspect and exposed beams. The large kitchen/breakfast room is semi-vaulted with downlighting and French doors leading to the rear garden. It is beautifully fitted with a range of Goddards bespoke wall and base units with granite worktops and a twin butler sink. Appliances include an electric
Rangemaster with gas hob, an integrated fridge and a Bosch dishwasher. The kitchen also benefits from under-floor heating. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful boot room leading to the west facing terrace.

The first floor comprises a truly stunning master bedroom with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, triple aspect and fitted wardrobes. An oak staircase leads to an en suite bathroom situated on the second floor, which is fitted with a superb suite comprising a Villeroy & Boch bath with shower attachment, separate shower, twin sinks inset to a marble worktop with further low level storage cupboards and extractor fan. Adjacent is a well appointed shower room with heated towel rail and bedroom two, which is of a good size with a range of fitted wardrobes with a twin aspect overlooking the rear gardens. The property offers two further double bedrooms; one with fitted wardrobes and a fitted study/desk area. The end bedroom has a twin aspect, access to a loft area and an adjacent lobby with airing cupboard leading to a bathroom also with Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware to include a large enamel bath with Victorian style mixer taps and shower attachment, heated towel rail and wash basin inset to a vanity unit.

OUTSIDE, the farmhouse is approached via an expansive gravelled driveway and is fully enclosed by either post-and-rail fencing or mature trees and hedgerows. Adjacent
to the farmhouse is a detached barn which comprises a single open-bay cartlodge, L-shaped garage and workshop area and large cloakroom. Stairs lead to the upper two loft
rooms. Both loft rooms have electric heating.
To the immediate rear of the property, a good sized terrace and lawn area is enclosed by beech and hornbeam hedgerows with an L-shaped dining terrace surrounded by well stocked flowerbeds edged with lavender and mature shrubs. This charming, private terrace area is also accessed by three pedestrian gates.
The main acreage comprises large areas of mowed lawn interspersed with mature trees and shrubs with a raised mound. There is a separate three acre paddock and two areas of meadow.
To the north side of the property there is a large enclosed vegetable patch with greenhouse and a further vehicular access for oil tank purposes and also for the private sewage treatment (replaced in 2019). On approaching Godfreys Farm, a separate gated yard area leads to a spacious hardstanding and to the detached
former grain store (45’ x 28’ 7”) with lean-to stable (14’ 6” x 9’ 4”).
