An immaculately presented Grade II Listed timber framed family residence dating back to c.1650. Set in an idyllic position on a generous, south facing plot of circa 0.5 acres (stls), surrounded by open farmland with lovely far reaching views. This wonderful family home has been sympathetically restored in recent years and now provides well considered accommodation in excess of 3200 sq ft (including the annexe). The large double garage provides further possibilities subject to planning. Epping Central Line station (6 miles). EPC exempt.
In brief, the accommodation comprises a welcoming reception hall with a charming soft red brick inglenook fireplace with oak bressumer beam and raised brick hearth. Exposed timbers to one wall incorporating 17th Century diamond mullion leaded windows. The traditional flagstone flooring leads to the principle sitting room, an idyllic room which enjoys dual aspect windows, exposed timbers, painted wood flooring and an outstanding inglenook fireplace with inset log burner, as well as another open fire at the opposite end. This opens to the formal dining room at the rear of the house with French doors leading to a south facing terrace and garden. Pocket doors open to an attractive air-conditioned Victorian style double glazed garden room.
The hall also leads to the stunning new, bespoke kitchen by Rencraft of Sevenoaks with hand built and painted cabinets. It has a corner pantry cupboard, an electric five door AGA , double butler’s sink, centre island with induction hob, Miele dishwasher and granite worktops. A good sized utility, office/study and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation which benefits from an excellent circular flow.
On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, of particular note the principal dual aspect bedroom with bespoke, quality fitted wardrobes and a newly installed Burlington ensuite with double length shower, bidet and a traditional heated towel rail. A newly installed Burlington family bathroom boasts a unique, Edwardian period-style “Temple” clawfoot tub with full overhead rain & handheld showers, a matching wide basin, toilet and pair of traditional heated radiator towel rails, serves the remaining bedrooms.
OUTSIDE
Externally, the property is approached via electric timber gates with security entry phone system. An extensive gravelled area to the front and side of the house provides ample parking for multiple vehicles. From here, a five bar gate to the west side of the plot where there is a substantial timber framed garage (441 sq ft) with adjoining wine store with power and lighting. The gardens have been created by the current owners including shaping and planting to establish a lovely herbaceous border, new flower beds and carefully positioned specimen shrubs and trees.
A path provides access from the gardens to the annexe/ancillary building (665 sq ft), which is a recently constructed Essex style timber barn, with clay tiled roof. The accommodation comprises a reception hall, vaulted living accommodation with a huge double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a separate shower room, living room/second bedroom and fully fitted kitchen. Outside, there is a broad surrounding terrace and a separate west facing garden area laid mainly to lawn.
AGENTS NOTE
Lunds Farmhouse is a wonderful family home that has been sympathetically restored and well maintained by the current owners providing an immaculate home for a prospective purchaser with no need for any extensive works. Although the property offers a semi-rural location with fantastic local walks and pubs (The Dog & Pickle 1.5 miles) it is also within striking distance of Epping Central Line Station (6 miles), major road links and schooling in both sectors.
