Old Mead Lane, Henham

A substantial, moden and beautifully presented family home, with large south facing gardens, in a peaceful semi-rural location, close to excellent transport links.

Overall Description - This substantial detached house, built in the 1960's and extended over the years, sits in an elevated, private and peaceful position, surrounded by beautiful Essex countryside. The property has been much improved by the current owners, including remodeling downstairs to create a large open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, fitting all new double-glazed windows and doors, a new bathroom, new Karndean flooring downstairs, new internal doors throughout, quality fitted bedroom furniture upstairs, new office furniture downstairs and removing the old dated garage and replacing with a state-of-the-art oak-framed double garage with EV charging point, electric roller doors and large fully boarded storage space in the loft. The end result is a spacious, light, modern and very well appointed family home sitting in an elevated position, with pretty views across its gardens to the fields beyond. The gardens are a real feature of this property: south facing with a sunny patio area, large areas of lawn, mature trees and hedge borders providing privacy. As well as the new garage, there is ample parking and turning space on the long gravel driveway leading up to the house. In summary, if you are looking for a large family home in a pretty rural location, yet easily accessible from local transport links and other amenities, then please book in for the Open House from 10am to 12 noon on Saturday the 20th of June.

Location - This superb family home sits in an exclusive hamlet, down a private road, a short walk across the open fields that surround it to the picturesque village of Henham. Henham has a pretty village green, St Mary the Virgin church, village shop and Post Office (run by the local community), village hall and excellent village pub/restaurant, the Cock Inn. The house is in an especially beautiful corner of Essex but has the advantage of having excellent transport links, with Elsenham railway station being less than a ten minute walk away (on the West Anglia Main line with regular trains to London Liverpool Street) and around a 10 minutes drive from the M11, A120 and Stansted Airport. There are local shops in Elsenham and further facilities in Stansted Mountfitchet, around 4 miles away. There are good schools in the local area including the Henham and Ugley Primary School (in the village), the Elsenham CofE Primary School, the Forest Hall School in Stansted Mountfitchet and The Hertfordshire and Essex High School in Bishops Stortford. It is the ideal location for active families looking to live a rural lifesyle as part of a local village community, but with easy access to good local schools and transport links.
