EPC Exempt
A striking Grade II listed family residence, set in the heart of Shalford village. Origins dating to the late 16th century with later additions and improvements. The property has the feel of a Hall House due to its generous ceiling heights within the principal receptions and also benefits from beautiful, exposed timbers and a most impressive central stack. Features you would expect to enjoy from a property of this period. The other predominant features are the Crittall windows and bifold doors (located on the ground floor bedroom). The bifold doors are thought to be the only set within the UK.
The entrance hall has a tiled floor and lovely wooden sash window to the front. The brick floored hallway leads to open studwork next to the side access onto the garden and the second stairwell that ascends to Bedroom three. This bedroom is independent, ideal for a guest, offering beautiful views across the rear garden. There is an ensuite shower, vanity sink and built-in wardrobes.
Bedroom four is also a good size double, located on the ground floor with southwest views across the rear garden, benefitting from the previously mentioned Crittall bifold doors which open onto the adjoining patio. This bedroom is served by the ground floor cloakroom. It is important to note that there is scope and space to create a shower room if required.
The generous kitchen breakfast room is dual aspect, also benefitting from a charming brick floor, giving access into the adjoining utility room. From the utility there is access to the rear garden and indeed to the side which is helpful for shopping to be delivered directly from the driveway.
The opposite west wing of the house provides a magnificent drawing / dining room with high ceilings, impressive exposed timbers, four windows, including a bay, offering a dual aspect to the front and rear. A striking part glazed; ornate doorway also gives access onto the adjoining patio to the rear. A floor to ceiling exposed brick stack is protected by a mantel beam, chamfered with lamb's tongue stops and a stone hearth.
A further study/snug provides another Crittall bay window to the rear and wooded sash to the northwest across the previous grass tennis court.
The main stairwell turns to the principal first floor landing with views of the rear gardens, giving access to the two remaining double bedrooms. Bedroom two is served by the family bathroom and looks onto the front of the house. The master bedroom enjoys views to the front via another beautiful bay window and also looks across the rear gardens. The sunken master dressing room gives access into the ensuite bathroom with separate double shower.
Externally the property provides parking to the front for numerous cars, with separate access to a generous, lined, tandem garage (360 sqft) with double doors to the front and access at the rear onto the garden. A delightful stream defines the Northwest boundary.
The grounds are established with specimen trees offering a parkland feel. The rear boundary offers estate fencing and backs onto a lovely paddock ensuring privacy and quiet. A brick pathway bisects the formal garden and leads back to the lovely brick patio protected by a half brick wall. To the west is the previous grass tennis court which is also accessed via a brick arched gate to the driveway.
A wonderful opportunity for an incoming family to put their own stamp on an important period property within the heart of this ever-popular village. The schooling is very strong in both sectors and for the commuter, Braintree station is only a 15 minute drive.
