Coombe Rise, Old Shenfield

Occupying a superb, secluded plot of approximately 0.4 acres in one of Old Shenfield's most prestigious residential roads, this attractive Arts and Crafts style home offers generous family accommodation with exceptional privacy in a prime location.

Approached through a double-gated carriage driveway, the property enjoys an impressive frontage, beautifully screened by established trees and mature planting. The grounds are undoubtedly one of the home's greatest attributes, providing a wonderful sense of space and seclusion in such a convenient location. A detached garage complements the extensive private parking, while an attractive gabled entrance porch creates a welcoming first impression.

Internally, the accommodation is both substantial and versatile, with three reception rooms. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to the principal lounge, an inviting room centred around a feature gas fireplace, with French doors opening onto the rear garden. Provision has been made for high-end audio equipment, complemented by integrated ceiling speakers, a feature continued throughout the principal rooms of the house. A separate, cosy sitting room leads in turn to a dedicated home office, thoughtfully appointed with fitted cabinetry.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully crafted, handmade kitchen, opening into a generous informal living and dining space overlooking the gardens. Granite work surfaces, a central island, breakfast bar and range oven define the space, while French doors provide access to the garden and rear terrace. An adjoining utility room offers valuable additional space and incorporates a distinctive feature in the form of a spiral, in-ground wine cellar, ideal for the keen collector or those who enjoy entertaining.

The first floor provides five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including two en-suite shower rooms, making the accommodation particularly well suited to larger families or those requiring guest facilities. The principal bedroom benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes, while the spacious family bathroom is beautifully appointed with a freestanding bath as part of its four-piece suite. A charming arched window with an integrated window seat provides an attractive architectural feature on the landing, reflecting the character and detailing associated with the home's Arts and Crafts influences. 

Outside, the gardens enjoy remarkable privacy, with established boundaries and mature planting creating a wonderfully secluded environment. A summer house positioned towards the rear of the grounds provides further options for leisure, ideal as a gym, home office/studio, or teenage retreat.

Properties offering this combination of extensive private grounds, generous accommodation and such a sought-after address are rarely available. We anticipate considerable interest and would encourage early enquiries.
