Loveday Close, Chrishall, Essex, SG8

1 LOVEDAY CLOSE is a stylish detached modern family home forming part of this exclusive development of just 5 properties, in a tucked away cul-de-sac placed within a short distance of this highly sought after village centre. The property provides nicely balanced and well proportioned living accommodation which does benefit from extensions and alterations carried out during the current owners’ time of occupation.

The front door leads into an entrance hall where stairs rise to the first floor and a ground floor cloakroom sits off to one side. There are three reception areas which could serve a variety of purposes; a study which would provide ideal space for those working from home with a bay window looking out to the front, a family room also with a bay window looking out to the front and a really well proportioned sitting room which features a brick built fireplace with integrated log burning stove and glazed double doors with full height windows either side opening to and looking out on the rear garden. The kitchen/dining room is a particularly impressive feature of the property benefiting from a rear extension which incorporates a high vaulted ceiling, sliding patio doors along its rear wall opening to the garden with further glazing above extending into the room’s apex and additional window to the side all drawing in natural light. The kitchen is well appointed with a range of storage cupboards in a light wood finish complemented by quartz work surfaces which incorporate a breakfast bar and there are a range of integrated appliances including dishwasher, microwave, double oven, induction hob and an American style fridge-freezer. From the entrance hall is a large and useful storage cupboard which, in turn, leads through to the utility room at the side incorporating further storage cupboards, worktops and space for washing machine and tumble-dryer.

Upstairs, a central landing leads to 4 good sized bedrooms; the master and guest bedroom 2 both featuring en suite bathrooms which is in addition to the family bathroom which serves bedrooms 3 & 4.

OUTSIDE, to the front, the property sits behind a block paved garden area bordered by trimmed hedgerow, alongside which is a driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles and gives access to the adjoining double garage. The gardens to the rear are nicely enclosed and well established laid out predominantly to lawn with a paved patio adjoining the rear of the property and a range of mature plants, shrubs and trees set to its border.
