Hoe Lane, Abridge, Essex, RM4

An exceptional country estate with panoramic views towards the London skyline

Description

Set within just over eight acres of exquisite private grounds, Clarks Wood is a distinguished country residence offering an extraordinary combination of space, privacy and accessibility.
Designed and built in 1992 by a prominent local family, this impressive unlisted property has been thoughtfully positioned to maximise the spectacular far-reaching views across its gardens and grounds towards the London skyline.

Approached through electric security gates, a sweeping driveway meanders through beautifully established gardens, creating a wonderful sense of arrival. The estate encompasses formal lawns, woodland walks, an orchard, wildflower areas and a magnificent terrace from which to enjoy the stunning outlook and peaceful surroundings.

The elegant accommodation has been designed with family living and entertaining in mind. Generous proportions, high ceilings and an abundance of natural light enhance the principal reception rooms, all carefully orientated to capture the remarkable views. The ground floor includes a welcoming entrance hall, a superb triple-aspect drawing room,
formal dining room, study, and an expansive open-plan kitchen/breakfast room flowing seamlessly into a family living room, both opening directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond.

A versatile two-bedroom annexe provides excellent additional
accommodation, featuring its own private entrance, kitchen and sitting room, whilst also offering internal access to the main house. Both bedrooms benefit from en-suite bathrooms, making the annexe ideal for guests, extended family or independent living.

On the first floor, six beautifully appointed bedrooms are all served by en-suite facilities. The luxurious principal suite enjoys a bespoke walk-in dressing room with handcrafted fitted wardrobes and an elegant en-suite bathroom with both bath and separate shower.

Further complementing the estate is an extensive garage complex incorporating a triple garage, additional single garage, office, kitchen and gardener’s WC, together with a substantial barn for storage. Clarks Wood enjoys a wonderfully secluded setting along a picturesque country lane to the south of Abridge village.
