About
Stevens Lodge is an exceptional detached residence occupying a plot of approximately half an acre on the sought-after Mashbury Road in Chignall St James.
Enjoying far-reaching countryside views and backing directly onto open farmland, the property offers a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion whilst being just five minutes from Chelmsford city centre.
Thoughtfully extended and improved by the current owners, the property now provides over 2,400 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation set over two floors, combining contemporary living with character features including exposed timbers and vaulted ceilings.
The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, featuring a vaulted ceiling, central island, quality fitted units and extensive glazing overlooking the gardens.
A spacious sitting room and separate snug provide versatile reception space for modern family living.
The accommodation comprises four double bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with dressing area and en-suite bathroom. Two of the remaining bedrooms also benefit from an en-suite each.
Outside, the beautifully maintained grounds extend to approximately half an acre and have been designed to make the most of the outstanding rural setting.
Large lawned gardens, paved entertaining terraces and uninterrupted countryside views create an idyllic outdoor environment rarely found so close to the city.
A range of outbuildings further enhance the property's appeal, including a detached garage, workshop, home office and a superb games room, currently arranged with a pool table and entertainment space, making it ideal for family enjoyment, hobbies or social gatherings.
The extensive driveway provides ample parking for numerous vehicles.
Offering the perfect balance of country living and convenience, Stevens Lodge is a unique home in a highly desirable location and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
