Gilston Lane, Gilston, Hertfordshire, CM20

This exceptional four/six bedroom home is a masterclass in blending timeless charm with modern sophistication thoughtfully designed, immaculately maintained and finished to an exacting standard throughout.

The impression starts before you're through the door. An expansive driveway offers parking for multiple more cars, setting the tone for the scale of the property to follow. Step inside, and solid oak flooring, freshly painted walls and classic sash windows with white shutters create a warmth that runs through the entire home, even the cloakroom, with its automatic lighting and oak flooring, has been finished with genuine care.

To the right, the main reception room delivers real comfort and style: a working open fireplace, LED mood lighting and ceiling spotlights combine to create the perfect space to relax or entertain.

At the heart of the home is the true showpiece, a bespoke, handmade kitchen with white granite worktops, Siemens appliances and space for a large dining table. It's where family life happens. Sliding doors open onto the garden, flooding the space with light and blurring the line between indoors and out. A second reception room offers real flexibility, snug, playroom or home office, complete with bespoke storage and access to a fully fitted utility room.

Outside is where this home really sets itself apart. The landscaped garden has been designed purely for entertaining: a sun terrace, built in BBQ station with polished concrete worktops and a dedicated sink area for alfresco dining. Steps lead to a beautifully maintained lawn, with bespoke storage keeping everything effortlessly tidy.

Two detached outbuildings, each with independent heating and its own en-suite open up endless possibilities: guest suites, a home gym or a private office setup. At the far end of the garden, a stylish outdoor bar and brick fire pit create the perfect setting for evenings under the stars.

Back inside and upstairs, the standard doesn't drop. Each of the four bedrooms has been finished with genuine attention to detail, bespoke wardrobes, a mix of oak and plush carpet flooring and elegant touches throughout. The main bedroom is a retreat in its own right, with garden views and a luxurious Burlington en-suite featuring a freestanding copper bath, walk in shower and a double vanity unit. A beautifully tiled family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms in style.

From the handcrafted details to the considered layout, this is a home built for both everyday living and effortless entertaining where craftsmanship and character meet modern luxury at every turn.

All of this sits within Gilston, a village perfectly placed between Sawbridgeworth and Harlow, with easy access to the A414, M11, Stansted Airport and surrounded by countryside walks, local pubs, and a genuinely friendly community. The area continues to go from strength to strength, with a brand new 50,000 Sq. Ft. M&S flagship store, bringing both food and fashion set to open nearby on Edinburgh Way joining David Lloyd Leisure's recently opened club just a short drive away.
