The Accommodation 

Enjoying a peaceful position within the picturesque North Essex village of Wicken Bonhunt, this appealing detached residence offers an excellent balance of generous family accommodation, mature gardens and an idyllic village setting.

Extending to approximately 2,025 sq ft, the house offers a wonderfully versatile arrangement of living spaces across two floors, with four generous bedrooms, a study, spacious reception room and an inviting kitchen/dining room at its heart. The accommodation is complemented by a light-filled conservatory, whilst the arrangement of bedrooms across both floors lends itself equally well to family life, visiting guests or multi-generational living. The house is approached through an entrance porch, opening into a welcoming central hallway from which the principal ground floor rooms are accessed. The sitting room is a particularly generous and inviting space, enjoying a pleasant outlook to the front of the property. A feature fireplace provides a natural focal point, whilst the room's excellent proportions offer ample space for comfortable seating, creating an elegant yet relaxed setting for family gatherings and quieter evenings.

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen/dining room, a wonderfully sociable space designed around the rhythms of everyday country living. Extending to over 21 feet, the room is fitted with a range of cabinetry and work surfaces, with space for a range-style cooker and a generous dining table. Glazed doors connect the kitchen with the adjoining conservatory, creating an appealing flow between the house and gardens. The conservatory is a charming addition, enjoying natural light from three aspects and providing a delightful vantage point from which to appreciate the changing seasons. French doors open directly outside, making this an inviting space for morning coffee or relaxed summer afternoons. A separate utility room offers valuable practical space, with additional storage, laundry facilities and access to the garden. 

The ground floor also accommodates two generous bedrooms, one extending to over 20 feet in length, offering excellent flexibility for family members or guests. A separate study provides a quiet and comfortable environment for home working, whilst a shower room and additional cloakroom complete the accommodation on this level.

A staircase rises to a central landing, providing access to two particularly spacious bedrooms, each enjoying the convenience of its own en-suite facilities.

The principal bedroom is a beautifully proportioned room, extending to approximately 21'8" x 15'3", with useful, fitted storage and an adjoining en-suite shower room. Its generous dimensions create a comfortable and private retreat. The second bedroom is equally appealing, measuring approximately 17'1" x 12'4", with built-in storage and an en-suite bathroom.

The thoughtful arrangement of accommodation across both floors lends the house considerable versatility, whether for established family life, accommodating guests or enjoying the convenience of bedrooms on the ground floor.

Outside 

The property occupies an attractive plot of approximately 0.22 acres, enjoying an elevated position and a particularly appealing southerly aspect.

An L-shaped gravel driveway provides generous parking for several vehicles and leads to the detached double garage, measuring approximately 18'7" x 18'7", complete with twin timber doors, power and lighting.

The gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's most appealing features, offering a delightful combination of generous lawns, established planting and a wonderful outlook towards the neighbouring woodland. A sandstone terrace immediately adjoining the house provides an inviting setting for summer dining and entertaining. The main garden offers sweeping lawns framed by mature shrubs and colourful borders, whilst an ornamental pond introduces a further element of charm and tranquillity. The established planting provides a pleasing sense of privacy, and the woodland backdrop lends the garden a distinctly rural atmosphere, creating a wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors throughout the changing seasons.
