4 bedroom house

**2.1 ACRE OVERALL PLOT** Occupying a quite unique and stunning position overlooking rolling Essex Countryside to all aspects is this most individual residence, originally built as two farm workers cottages and later converted to one in the 1960's. Due to the individual nature of both the position and plot on which the property sits, it is ideally suited to someone looking for quiet peaceful living or even a budding equestrian enthusiast given the array of outbuildings on offer including a stable block, three garages and further storage sheds and summerhouse. The house itself, as previously mentioned was originally built as two cottages and later converted to one now offers three light and airy reception areas, four well proportioned bedrooms, a kitchen/diner as well as further living accommodation including family bathroom, conservatory, utility room, laundry room and ground floor shower room. Externally, the above mentioned plot offers areas comprising two courtyards, formal lawned gardens and an open paddock/field at the rear. The frontage offers a large shingled driveway providing extensive off road parking and access to two garages situated either side of the property. The village of Southminster is approx. 1.8 miles away and offers rail services to London Liverpool Street, Southminster C of E Primary School and local shops with senior schooling and sailing clubs at Burnham-on-Crouch (approx. 4.8 miles away). The location offers open countryside on your doorstep with the rivers Crouch and Blackwater nearby. Properties of this ilk are rare to the market so an early inspection is strongly advised to fully appreciate everything it has to offer. Energy Rating E.
