Idyllically located within the picturesque hamlet of Norwood End within easy access of Ongar, Epping, Brentwood, and Chelmsford and enjoying an unparalleled position at the head of a country lane is this fine Country House. Having a prestigious and elegant Queen Anne façade although it's origins date back further, circa 17th century, the home not listed, has been enhanced throughout its history by many of its custodians. Offering 16 acres (stls) of undulating pasture and paddocks with the added benefit of several versatile outbuildings, garaging, tennis court, pavilion, barns together with well-tended mature landscaped gardens immediately adjacent to the home.



The meandering and elegant lit driveway, part tree lined leads to the entrance and ample parking in front of the garaging. Double fronted and elegantly symmetrical, the home invites you in via its entrance vestibule (a more recent addition). Offering two equally proportionate front reception rooms, the first having a wonderful original stone fireplace with inset wood burning stove, the second currently used as a Sitting room with inglenook fireplace and brick hearth. Steps descend to the older part of the home with a large dining room enjoying views across the gardens and a feature double backed exposed brick fireplace with inset wood burning stove. Behind which is the study/home office and a further sitting room with French doors opening on to the courtyard.



The kitchen/family room is truly impressive with bespoke designed and built kitchen cabinetry including a large central island complemented by granite worksurfaces, centred around a five oven Aga with over mantel. The natural stone style floor leads into the atrium style conservatory, bathed in light and providing a wonderful sitting area from which to enjoy the views across the gardens.



A convenient linked walkway joins the home to the garage block which provides a ground floor cloakroom, large utility/boot room with door to both the garden and into the first garage.



To the first floor the size and quality of the home continues with a wonderful principal suite benefitting from three windows overlooking the front elevation and driveway. The bedroom flows into the adjoining dressing room fitted with an array of fitted wardrobes and in turn leads to the contemporary five-piece en-suite bathroom with twin wash hand basins and walk-in shower. Across the hallway is bedroom three equally well proportioned a step down again into the older part of the home offers three further bedrooms all good size and served by two contemporary and high-quality bathrooms.



To the exterior the gardens close to the home have been designed around a traditional formal layout with an impressive, terraced patio area which enjoys views across the rhyll and water feature. A reclaimed red brick pathway meanders through the garden amongst the maturely planted borders, interspersed with specimen planting and past both the summer house, Hartley botanical greenhouse to the tennis court, pavilion and wonderfully positioned covered seating.
