Chipping Hill, Witham, Essex, CM8

Part of our Signature collection, this attractive Grade II Listed home is set in the delightful area of Chipping Hill. Formerly three cottages and a shop, the property has been sympathetically converted into a beautiful home which is filled with charm and character.

Thought to date back to the 15th century, this spacious house offers generous accommodation, occupying a wonderful position with views of Chipping Hill Church.



The front door opens into a light and airy entrance hall with an impressive staircase rising to the first floor, window to the rear and doors leading to all ground floor accommodation. There is also a useful study which is located on the lower ground floor with windows providing a dual aspect.

Retaining a wealth of period features, the sitting room has beautiful exposed timbers and a red brick inglenook fireplace with inset log burner. There is also a secondary staircase providing easy access to two of the bedrooms.

There are a few steps down into the kitchen/breakfast room, which is well-equipped with a butler sink inset to a roll edge work top, a range of stylish units and a kitchen island with seating. There is space for a range cooker and plumbing for a dishwasher, with a window and door to the rear.

Beyond the kitchen is a good size dining room which in turn leads into the sun room, with wonderful views of the picturesque rear garden. To the right of the hallway is a further reception room with a large bay window, which would originally have been the shop. This leads to the utility room which has a window to the rear and there is also a handy downstairs shower room and wc.

The main staircase leads to the first floor galleried landing, with a window to the front and access to three of the bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom has an striking vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and a dual aspect, which allows an abundance of light. There are two further bedrooms on this side of the property, along with a separate wc and the family bathroom which has a roll top claw foot bath and sizeable walk-in shower.

The other two bedrooms can either be accessed via bedroom one or from the secondary staircase, both of which benefit from a dual aspect and one with an attractive vaulted ceiling.

Outside
The property has off-road parking for four vehicles and a double garage with timber hung doors.

Access to the side leads to the beautifully landscaped rear garden which has a raised patio with various seating areas, mature shrubs and trees and an area of lawn. With several places to sit and relax in the garden, there is surely no finer place to soak up the sun or enjoy alfresco dining with friends and family.
