King Street, High Ongar

This charming Jacobean home is set on a secluded plot of nearly one acre and is filled with period charm, including exposed beams, red brick walls, and inglenook fireplaces. Though in a semi-rural setting, Ongar High Street is just under a ten-minute drive for local amenities, while Ingatestone, about 15 minutes away, offers direct train services to London Liverpool Street.

The house is approached by a gravel carriage driveway with off street parking for multiple vehicles.

Through the original wooden front door, you are greeted by an impressive entrance hall featuring exposed beams, tiled floor and a fireplace with a decorative wood burner. The rear of the property hosts a kitchen/diner with shaker-style cabinets and granite worktops, extending into a large conservatory with double doors opening onto the garden. From here, there is integral access to one side of the garage, previously used as an additional bedroom. There is also a bathroom, making this space suitable for conversion into an annexe with some modifications. The main reception room, accessed via double doors at the end of the hallway, offers triple aspect and an exposed brick fireplace complete with wood-burner. The remainder of the downstairs accommodation includes a study, utility room and a downstairs wc.

The first floor is accessed via a beautiful staircase with glass balustrade leading on to a spacious hallway with all four bedrooms leading off it, three of which benefit from built in cupboards. There are two bathrooms.

Externally, the impressive plot backs farmland which is mainly laid to lawn surrounded by mature hedging. A separate garage block is double-length, offering potential for conversion into a further annexe, gym, games room or serving as extensive car garaging.

Services include mains gas and private drainage.
