Church Street, Billericay, Essex, CM11

Privately situated, energy efficient, unlisted barn with indoor pool and about 0.7 acres.

Description

Tucked away, off a private lane and set within its own grounds, this unlisted Essex barn provides versatile living with 21st century features, including an indoor pool, solar heating and fantastic al fresco entertaining space.

The property has accommodation over three floors. A central reception hall, the former mid-stray to the original barn, extends the full depth of the property and provides a great deal of natural light. A staircase separates the reception hall from a dining area and boot room. The east wing has a study and an indoor pool with two sets of French doors opening out to a sheltered south-facing terrace; in addition, there is a shower room. The west wing includes a cloakroom and home cinema. The room is hardwired for sound and a projector, and the floor has a split-level, designed for visual enhancement. Beyond is a highly appointed kitchen fitted with bespoke Shaker-style units finished with 'on-trend' colours, wrapped around a substantial island. A slate floor contrasts with the units and continues into a light-filled family room, with full-height glazing to three aspects and four skylights. The area adjoins the outside terrace, making a great indoor/outdoor entertaining space. From the kitchen is a utility room.

The first-floor galleried landing overlooks the hall and provides access to the bedrooms and first floor sitting room - an impressive room featuring a high vaulted timbered ceiling and including a log burner, two sets of glazed, south-facing doors and a retained glass balustrade. At the opposite end of the barn, the principal bedroom suite has a high vaulted part-timbered ceiling and two tall, glazed windows. The room has an en suite dressing room and bathroom. There are three further bedrooms (one en suite) and a family bathroom on this floor.

On the second floor is a guest bedroom suite with en suite shower room and dressing area.

Outside
Privacy is a key feature for this family home. A discreet lane off Church Street serves a small collection of period homes. The barn is approached through its own electric-gated entrance, over a substantial resin bond drive to a huge parking area in front of the barn and double garage. The gardens lie predominantly to the west. A large terrace includes two under-cover seating areas, a hot tub and BBQ areas, and adjacent is a detached games room with power and light. Behind the property is a secluded terrace and gravelled 'dry' garden area.
