through road within walking distance of the amenities of this highly
regarded and sought after North Essex village.
The property has been greatly improved and enhanced by the
current owners and now affords exceptionally versatile and
characterful accommodation arranged over two floors.
Of note is the impressive reception hall with a solid oak door and
flagstone floors. The heart of the home is formed by an exceptional
kitchen/breakfast/dining room which runs nearly the entire length
of the house. This room takes in stunning views to the gardens and
beyond and provides both formal and informal family entertaining
space. There are an extensive range of units with oak butchers
block work surfaces with an ‘Esse’ range set within attractive
brickwork with an oak lintel above. Further appliances include a
‘Neff’ oven/grill and induction hob, dishwasher and wine cooler.
There is extensive oak flooring to the area and exposed timber work
on display. There is a large walk-in pantry and a stable door directly
accessing the South facing terrace.
There are two further formal reception rooms, one of which is a
charming sitting room with an impressive fireplace and exposed oak
framework. Directly from here is a cosy snug/playroom which
benefits from views to the gardens and exposed framework.
Accessed from the reception hall is a fantastic games room with
solid oak flooring and a wood burning stove set upon slate hearth
and French doors access the entertaining area and stairs rising to
the first floor and annexe. The remainder of the ground floor
comprises a study, utility room, laundry room and cloakroom.
The first floor is accessed via a winding staircase leading to the
galleried landing accessing four bedrooms in the original part of the
property. These all have extensive wardrobe space and take in
delightful views to the grounds and countryside beyond with the
principal suite benefiting from a stylish en-suite shower room with
exposed red brick work, painted floorboards and a large vanity unit
with an oval wash hand basin. The three remaining bedrooms are
served by a family bathroom.
The first floor to the annexe is accessed via stairs rising from the
games room which ascend to a snug area off which is a large walk-in
wardrobe. A ledge and brace door leads to a large double bedroom
with windows taking in roofline views of the village beyond. This is
complemented by a large bath/shower room with extensive storage.
Outside
The grounds of the property are a true delight and to the front there
is mature native hedging providing a high degree of privacy. Behind

an attractive winding sandstone path leads to the impressive
entrance.

miniature trees and access to the garage is afforded to the front of
the property.
The rear gardens are especially attractive with a covered entertaining

sandstone terrace which benefits from a South and West facing
aspect enabling it to take advantage of the all day sun. This is flanked
