Bakers Farm Lane, Blackmore End, Braintree, Essex, CM7

Recently converted, contemporary barn in an idyllic rural setting.

Description

Stag Hall Barn sits in an idyllic rural setting, at the end of a private country lane, forming part of a small development of just two other converted barns. The property is located in the semi-rural hamlet of Blackmore End, some 6 miles from Braintree train station and 7 miles from Felsted School.

Recently converted, it is the largest of the three sympathetically restored Essex barns, offering approximately 3,200sq ft of contemporary living space blended beautifully with period character and far-reaching countryside views from many of the rooms.

The property is being sold with no onward chain and enjoys a comfortable wrap-around garden and nearby access to a network of footpaths over miles of Essex countryside.

The barn is exceptionally bright, defined by vast open, vaulted living spaces that balance high end contemporary finishes with the character of the original structure. Exposed brickwork and impressive timber framing give warmth and authenticity throughout.

The first floor galleried landing leads to a luxurious principal suite occupying the entire south west wing. This private retreat offers sweeping views over the grounds and countryside, a large walk through dressing room, and an elegant en suite featuring a contemporary roll top bath, double shower, and double length sink. The remaining three bedrooms are generous doubles: bedrooms three and four share a family shower room, while bedroom two - set in the east wing - has its own en suite. All bedrooms enjoy beautiful outlooks.

On the ground floor, a spectacular vaulted kitchen/family room forms the heart of the home, showcasing exposed original brickwork, a central island, and dual aspect light. It opens directly onto the rear patio, as does the adjoining dining room. A substantial utility/boot room, cloakroom, and a secondary entrance lobby from the driveway serve this area.

The drawing room is equally impressive - part vaulted, dual-aspect, and flooded with natural light through floor to ceiling glazing, with double doors opening to both the front and rear gardens. A solid oak and glass turning staircase rises to the galleried landing above, overlooking both main reception spaces. A second ground floor cloakroom completes the accommodation.
