An attractive, modern farmhouse occupying a delightful semi-rural setting.

Description

Constructed in the late 1980s and recently the subject of an extensive programme of renovation, Gladen House is an exceptional four bedroom family home of approximately 3,000 sq ft, set in a semi-rural location between High Easter and Great Dunmow, within the hamlet of Bishops Green. The property occupies gardens and ground of about 1.2 acres with a detached triple-bay cart lodge.

The interior has been thoughtfully redesigned and beautifully maintained.

Further ground floor accommodation includes a generous sitting room with a feature fireplace and wood-burning stove, a snug/TV room positioned off the kitchen, a dedicated study, a utility room and a cloakroom, all arranged around a welcoming reception hall.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms and three stylish bath/shower rooms.
