Offering over 2,500sq ft of versatile accommodation, a beautiful 1/2 ACRE plot backing onto open farmland and potential to create a Self Contained Annex, is this substantial and well presented detached family home. Further offering upto six double bedrooms and five reception rooms, an impressive 22' kitchen & open-plan family room, a large master suite with dressing area & en suite, walk-in eaves storage space, en suite to bedroom two, and additional plot access from Old Bell Lane - creating Potential to Develop (stpp). Ideally located in this sought-after semi rural village location - viewings are very highly recommended!
The property is approached via a generously-sized shingle driveway that provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles (*with more parking available to the rear of the plot) and offers access to the large, over-sized garage that offers superb potential to convert into additional ground-floor accommodation or to be used in conjunction with existing accommodation to create a self-contained annex, subject to relevant consents.
The reception hall and adjoining inner hallway allow access to all of the ground-floor accommodation, comprising of a spacious bay-fronted sitting room and the spacious family room (with herringbone wooden floor and an open fireplace) which is both open-plan to the country-style fitted kitchen and offers double doors to the conservatory. There is also a ground floor bath/shower room and a dining room/study/play room that allows access to the rear lounge/reception room that opens to the garden, the utility room and the shower room, with hallway access through to the garage.
In the agent's opinion, it is these latter rooms (the dining room through to shower room) that immediately offer Annex space OR fantastic potential to easily create a fully self-contained annex with minimal or no major structural works (subject to any necessary consents) - already offering the dining room/study area that would be ideal as a bedroom, the lounge/secondary sitting room ideal as a living area, the utility room ideal as a small contained kitchen area and the shower room providing independent wash facilities - and of course the large garage that could be converted to provide even more accommodation.
If however an annex is not required these areas naturally offer immediate accommodation that could be used as additional bedrooms or versatile reception rooms, or ideal space for guest accommodation or those looking to work from home needing sizeable office space.
To the first floor the property offers four well-appointed double bedrooms, two with en suite facilities, and the master bedroom offering amazing rear views over the gardens and fields beyond, a dressing area and fitted en suite. There is also walk-in access to a very useful eaves/attic area from bedroom three - offering masses of easily accessible storage space.
Externally, in addition to the generous frontage, the majority of the property's half an acre plot (stls) is to the rear; offering a substantial and well-kept rear garden area that extends from the rear of the property and widens twice before reaching it's full width to the rear boundary that backs onto open countryside. With a summer house, shed/cabin and a feature upon with timber bridge over.
To the far corner of the plot is vehicular access from Old Bell Lane - offering the potential to create more parking if required, possibly for larger vehicles or motor homes, or even space to create either a larger outbuilding or separate dwelling (subject to consents).
As mentioned the property is located in an idyllic semi-rural village location - offering very easy access to Chelmsford's City Centre and it's mainline train station, local schools/shops/amenities, the A130, A12 & M25, and various other local towns with train stations offering links to London.
Viewings are highly recommended to appreciate the true size and versatility of the accommodation on offer, the glorious countryside views, and the size/potential of the plot. Contact Prestige Homes to arrange your private viewing tour.
