An impressive and immaculate period house with gardens and barns.
Description
Cucumber Hall is a beautifully renovated and restored Grade II listed farmhouse occupying a peaceful setting between the villages of Great Tey and Earls Colne. This attractive timber-framed and plastered house of 16th century origins stands in just over an acre of formal gardens, and has been thoughtfully extended providing charming accommodation that blends period charm with modern practicality.
The house extends to over 3,000 sq ft with a further 2,785 sq ft of outbuildings and enjoys ample reception rooms which are ideal for formal and informal living. The property enjoys many fine period features associated with properties of its age with many of the rooms commanding wonderful countryside views. The ground floor accommodation is generous in proportion with two front reception rooms, both displaying exposed timbers and red-brick fireplaces, one with an inset wood burning stove. A delightful family room separates this part of the house and opens to a light-filled kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a beautiful range of bespoke units and a central breakfast bar. The kitchen enjoys wonderful views over the adjoining garden and leads to a utility room with a cloakroom beyond. The first floor provides four first floor bedrooms and a family bathroom with an en suite and dressing room to the principal suite. There are two attic bedrooms with shared shower room.
Outside
Cucumber Hall sits comfortably within its grounds, which extend to just over an acre, and are thoughtfully designed with a variety of specimen trees and shrubbery. A delightful terrace extends from the kitchen, opening to an area of lawn. A wide driveway leads from the lane to the front of the house and barns providing extensive parking. There are two detached barns in a courtyard setting currently being used for storage and a gym and these offer excellent potential for a variety of uses. There is also a three-bay cart lodge, two further barns and an adjoining wood store, which offer potential for garaging. All in around 1.07 acres.
