Description

An opulent detached residence situated amongst 8.5 acres of stunning parkland in an exclusive gated development

What We Say at the Zoe Napier Group

Being the only detached property on this exclusive, highly sought after development means this genuinely is one of a kind! The luxurious, high specification accommodation combined with the recently landscaped, low maintenance garden makes it the perfect home in a safe and secure environment or as an ideal lock up and leave. This home would suit those downsizing, whilst having a railway station a short drive away and a bus stop at the end of the private drive will appeal to discerning commuters that require a seamless commute into London.

What the owners say

This really has been a special home for us, being surrounded by the fabulously manicured 8.5 acre grounds with private access into Danbury Country Park has allowed us to immerse ourselves with nature whilst enjoying many a long dog walk and there really is nothing better than relaxing in the garden with a glass of wine watching the sun set. We have decided to relocate and are in the process of purchasing a new build home, so for ease for the incoming buyer will offer the property for sale with no onward chain.

History & Background

The property is believed to have been constructed in 2017 as part of the re-development of Danbury Palace, with the ground floor accommodation including cloakroom, spacious sitting and dining rooms and stunning high specification kitchen, whilst on the first floor there are three double bedrooms with en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom and a family bathroom.

Externally the garden is a particular feature of the property, having been recently beautifully landscaped to a fantastic standard with the icing on the cake being the fabulous outdoor bar/kitchen, offering the perfect space for entertaining family and friends during the Spring and Summer.

Setting & Location

The magnificent grounds of Danbury Palace extend to 8.5 acres and offer a rich blend of historical significance and natural beauty, encompasses ornamental gardens, serene lakes, ancient woodlands, and wildflower meadows, perfect for nature lovers. Originally established as a medieval deer park, the estate was acquired by Sir Walter Mildmay in 1589, who constructed the original Danbury Palace. The current red-brick mansion, designed in the Tudor Gothic style, was completed in 1832 and later served as the residence for the Bishop of Rochester, earning it the name Danbury Palace.

The grounds surrounding the palace are thoughtfully designed, featuring formal lawns, mature specimen conifers, and a series of compartments enclosed by clipped yew hedges and topiary. These compartments include a rose garden and a tennis court, reflecting the mid-19th-century landscaping style.

Danbury village itself is only a short distance away, and offers a plethora of local amenities, including supermarket, and various restaurants. There are a number of clubs and sports facilities and Danbury park school (currently rated as outstanding by Ofsted) is a short walk away. Nature enthusiasts will enjoy Danbury Country Park as part of the National Trust the nearby Blackwarden Nature reserve and RHS Hyde Hall.

Secondary schooling can be found at Sandon School and Great Baddow High School with private and grammar schooling found nearby. Chelmsford or Ingatestone Train Stations provide easy access into London Liverpool Street, whilst we understand that a new station is scheduled to open at Beaulieu Park in October 2025.
