Beautifully converted, four bedroom barn, within a delightful semi-rural setting

Description

Minstrels Hall enjoys an idyllic rural position at the end of a private country lane, forming part of a small development of just two other beautifully converted barns.

The property offers peaceful countryside living, situated within approximately 6 miles from Braintree Station and approximately 7 miles from Felsted School.

Inside, the accommodation is exceptionally bright, with vaulted living spaces rising from the entrance hall to the galleried landing above. While finished to a high contemporary standard, the interior showcases exposed brickwork and striking original timbers.

The ground floor centres around an impressive vaulted reception hall that flows into a beautifully light dining/family room, opening through double doors onto the rear patio. Beyond the oak staircase, the generous sitting room enjoys a dual aspect to both the front and rear. The kitchen is elegantly fitted and includes a walk in pantry with fitted shelving. This area is supported by a substantial utility/boot room.

On the first floor, the Minstrel gallery leads to the principal suite, which occupies the entire west wing and enjoys wonderful views over the grounds and surrounding countryside, along with its own en suite shower room. The remaining three bedrooms are generous doubles. Bedrooms three and four share the family bathroom, while bedroom two sits in the east wing with its own en suite.
