Elmwood, Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, CM21

A wonderful opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully extended three-bedroom family home, situated in the heart of Sawbridgeworth and offered to the market for the first time in approximately 60 years. Having remained in the same family ownership since it was built, this much-loved home offers an abundance of character, spacious and versatile accommodation extending to approximately 1,262 sq ft, a beautiful tiered rear garden, driveway parking and the added benefit of no onward chain.

This charming property has been lovingly cared for by its current owners for over six decades, creating a genuine sense of warmth and family history throughout. Over the years, the house has been thoughtfully extended and improved to provide generous, well-balanced accommodation ideally suited to modern family living, whilst retaining the welcoming atmosphere of a traditional family home.

The ground floor offers an excellent degree of versatility, beginning with an entrance porch leading into a wonderfully spacious sitting room measuring approximately 21'5" x 12'6". This impressive reception room provides an inviting space for relaxing and entertaining, with ample room for a variety of furniture arrangements.

To the rear of the property is a beautifully appointed modern kitchen, thoughtfully designed to offer excellent storage and preparation space, together with a separate dining room providing the perfect setting for family meals and entertaining. Both the kitchen and dining room benefit from direct access to the rear garden, creating a wonderful connection between the internal accommodation and outdoor space.

A particularly attractive feature of the ground floor is the additional study, providing an ideal environment for those working from home, or alternatively offering the flexibility to be utilised as a playroom, hobby room or occasional guest accommodation. Further practical benefits include a ground floor cloakroom and a useful storage/workshop area.

The first floor continues to offer excellent family accommodation, comprising three generously proportioned double bedrooms with extensive fitted wardrobe storage. The bedrooms are served by a beautifully presented modern family bathroom, fitted with both a bath and separate shower, completing the well-planned first-floor accommodation.

Externally, the property continues to impress with its beautiful tiered rear garden, providing an attractive and established outdoor retreat. The different levels create distinct areas for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the garden throughout the seasons, offering a wonderful setting for family gatherings and outdoor dining.

To the front of the property, driveway parking provides further everyday convenience, particularly given the home's central location.
