DESCRIPTION

Located within the heart of this favourable North Essex village. The property has been improved greatly by the current owners during their occupation, resulting in a very light and modern configuration of family living space over two floors, sympathetic to the period features including beautiful sash windows throughout and lovely wooden floors. There is also further external access into two cellars, located on either end of the house, one of which is used as a storeroom/workshop and the other which houses the oil-fired boiler and is used as a useful utility room. To the front of the property are the two formal receptions. The sitting room benefits from recently fitted media units, solid wood flooring and open fireplace. The adjacent dining room also benefits from an open fireplace and sash windows onto the front. The generous entrance hall looks straight through the house onto the rear garden. It boasts original wooden floor boards and leads past the front receptions and ground floor cloakroom, to the south facing family room and kitchen breakfast room which are open to each other. Both benefit from delightful views of the lower terrace, formal grounds and countryside. The family room enjoys engineered oak flooring and another beautiful fireplace with inset wood burning stove above a Fired Earth tiled hearth. This beautiful reception also offers a wonderful, glazed feature display of the original lath studwork. The kitchen breakfast room is recently fitted and meticulous in design, providing in frame quality units above and below quartz worktops with double butler sink, Neff oven and hob, bin drawer, pantry, and delightful handmade fitted table with bench seating.

To the first floor a generous landing offers a picture window to the front of the house, affording a lovely roof top view over the village and access into the four double bedrooms (bed four is a small double) and generous family bathroom with his and hers sinks and double length shower with raised ceiling providing a rainwater shower head. Bedroom three looks onto the front with the three remaining bedrooms benefitting from far reaching views of the countryside and rear gardens. The master bedroom benefits from fully fitted furniture including wardrobe, chest of drawers and padded seat cupboard.

EXTERNALLY

The property is approached via a driveway providing parking and access to the adjoining garage which has an electric roller door. There are attractive raised brick planters to the front elevation of the property between which is a wrought iron gate giving access to the front door. Rear access is afforded on both sides of the property via a gated path to the right and pedestrian door to the rear of the garage.

The rear gardens are an absolute delight with well-considered landscaping benefitting from a southerly aspect. There are steps leading from the kitchen breakfast room to a large terrace which is flanked by planters and screening to provide privacy. Beyond this area are extensive expanses of lawn with densely stocked herbaceous borders and provide year-round interest. There are a number of impressive specimen trees that include a magnolia, cherry, plum and walnut. A pretty arbour distinctly segregates the garden beyond which offers further expanses of lawn and a variety of fruit trees including apple and pear. There are a number of raised beds providing a lovely kitchen garden offering the opportunity to grow home grown vegetables. Established soft fruit bushes including raspberry, blackcurrants and other berries. These wonderful mixed grounds are protected to the rear boundary by far reaching open countryside which is indeed within a conservation area.
