Nestled in the peaceful surroundings of Cressing and just a 2-minute drive from Braintree’s A120 junction, this expansive five-bedroom, four-bathroom residence offers the perfect blend of countryside living and commuter convenience. Set on a generous plot and surrounded by fields, the home boasts breathtaking views from both the front and rear aspects.

Exterior & Approach
Approaching the property, you're immediately struck by the grand in-and-out driveway, capable of accommodating 10+ vehicles with ease. The large driveway leads around the entire home and provides access to a detached double garage—complete with an split-level self-contained annexe.

Ground Floor
Step through the front door into a welcoming porch, thoughtfully designed with oak flooring, bench seating, and ample space for coats and shoes. This sets the tone for the rest of the home, where quality and character abound.

The hallway leads to a peaceful office space overlooking the front fields, while a wealth of under-stairs storage adds practicality. To the left, the home opens into a stylish dining area, bathed in natural light from bifold doors that frame the south-west facing, landscaped garden. Adjacent is a cosy snug with a log-burning fireplace, oak surround, and charming views across the front.

Flowing through, the expansive main living room provides the ultimate family space. A striking oak-framed media wall acts as a centrepiece, while double-aspect views and further bifold doors invite in both light and scenery.

At the heart of the home lies a showstopping kitchen, complete with herringbone flooring, a skylight lantern, and premium integrated appliances including twin Siemens ovens with plate warmer, Siemens induction hob and extractor, wine cooler, two Siemens dishwashers, Samsung American fridge-freezer, and Monarch water softener and hot tap. A spacious utility room with garden access and a separate WC adds even more functionality. The hobbits induction and the ovens are high tech WiFi.

Upstairs, the oak and carpeted staircase leads to a spacious landing. Two double bedrooms sit to the right—each enjoying field views—one currently styled as a games room or additional office. To the left lies another generously sized double with full wall-to-wall wardrobes. Discreetly hidden behind the wardrobe doors is a private ensuite, featuring a walk-in shower and ample storage.

The family bathroom is equally impressive, with an oak-framed bathtub, walk-in shower, a toilet and a sink with peddle stall and stunning garden views framed by oak shutters.

At the far end of the landing, double doors unveil the luxurious principal suite. A private entrance hall leads to the bedroom with king-size proportions, dual-aspect views, and French doors opening onto a terraced balcony—perfect for your morning coffee or evening unwind. The suite also includes a bespoke ensuite with granite-topped vanity, a large walk-in shower, and a separate dressing room with yet more countryside views.
