Listed country house set in 0.41 acres
Description
This attractive country house is listed as Grade II of Architectural or Historical Interest and provides well planned and versatile accommodation, which includes many period features such as open fireplaces, exposed timbers and traditional solid oak ledge and brace doors which were a recent addition. The house is approached over a spacious reception hall, which would also present itself as a cosy sitting room and from this there is access to a lovely dining room which includes an Inglenook red-brick fireplace with exposed timbers. Behind is a comprehensively fitted kitchen with cream-coloured Shaker-style units topped with granite surfaces and enjoying lovely views over the gardens and adjoining countryside. Overlooking the gardens is a fitted home office and adjacent is the main sitting room with double doors on to a terrace and the room includes a fireplace with log burner.
To the first floor there were formerly four bedrooms, now utilised as three with the principal bedroom suite having a fourth bedroom as a fitted dressing room, en suite shower room and a lovely main bedroom featuring exposed brickwork, timbers and enjoying lovely views over the adjoining farmland.
Outside
A five-bar gate opens into a courtyard drive for off-land parking for several cars and in turn leads to the detached garage and workshop with a double and single up-and-over door and incorporating a wooden staircase internally to attic storage. This building has potential for home working or an annexe, subject to obtaining any necessary planning permissions required. There is a further five-bar gate from the lane into the property’s gardens, which extend to about 0.41 acres, mainly lawned and adjoining countryside.

The A414 is within a few minutes’ drive, which connects with Chelmsford to the East and junction 7 of the M11. Rail services are at Chelmsford and Shenfield with an underground service at Epping, approximately 11.7 miles.
