What We Think At The Zoe Napier Group:

This impressive family home offers an array of stunning barn conversion features and a wonderful feeling of light and space throughout. Its popular village location and semi-rural surroundings has instant appeal and its proximity to Maldon, Chelmsford and Colchester offers a choice of amenities and top rated schools that are second to none. Add in the convenient access to road and rail links to London and we have a winning combination.

What The Owners Say:

It was a lifelong dream to build our own family home, and to move in and spend our first night as a family in our new house was an immensely proud and emotional moment. Our lovely home has allowed us to enjoy a wonderful family lifestyle and work life balance for all of us. It has also been the perfect home for entertaining friends and family either inside during the winter months, or outside in spring and summer to enjoy the secluded garden and open countryside views.

History & Background:

Formerly two derelict barns and a piggery, this wonderful barn conversion was brought to life in 2003 and with a real personal touch from the owners who were behind every detail of the design including delightful quirky finishing touches such as good luck pennies in exposed brick features, corks discreetly set in exposed beams and brilliantly secluded piped wine racks.

This is a home built by a family, for a family and due to the many vaulted ceilings and window design it delivers a wonderful sense of space and light throughout. The property benefits from underfloor heating throughout the ground floor accommodation and with their exposed beam features, the two main reception rooms offer a real wow factor with their stunning floor to ceiling brick and beam fireplaces. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room is superbly designed, bright and welcoming, making for an ideal family room. The convenient in and out driveway offers extensive off road parking and houses a large tripe garage with multi-purpose annexe above. The immediate rear gardens are private and screened offering a perfect spot for relaxing and entertaining family and friends and open out to offer wonderful views across open fields and countryside. Yet despite its secluded setting the property is conveniently located for town and city amenities, schools and commuting links.
