About
The Accommodation The ground floor of this beautifully appointed country home welcomes you via a generous and inviting reception hall featuring elegant herringbone parquet flooring, a convenient cloakroom/WC and a central timber staircase rising to the first floor.
This classic flooring flows seamlessly into a dual-aspect family room, currently utilised as a music room and continues through into the centrepiece of the home - an expansive, triple-aspect sitting and dining room that stretches an impressive 33ft, centred around a charming open fireplace with a decorative timber surround.
Flooded with natural light, the magnificent living space leads through to the substantial, bright conservatory that opens directly out onto a broad timber deck which offers panoramic views over the sprawling gardens and rolling countryside beyond.
Completing the ground floor layout is a spacious kitchen and breakfast room fitted with traditional cabinetry and tiled flooring, which is supported by a large, practical utility room with a separate pantry, direct garden access and an internal door linking to the integral garage.
Ascending to the first floor, you are greeted by a wonderfully bright and airy central landing featuring exposed, polished timber floorboards that stretch seamlessly across the entire level, enhancing the property's characterful charm while offering elevated views of the tranquil surrounding countryside.
The bedroom accommodation is exceptionally well-proportioned and designed to maximise the rural vistas, headlined by an expansive main bedroom that enjoys a superb double aspect and built-in wardrobe storage.
Three further excellent double bedrooms lie to the rear of the home, each presenting a generous layout and large windows that flood the spaces with natural light while framing picturesque, uninterrupted views over the beautifully maintained rear gardens and the rolling fields beyond.
Serving these rooms is a family bathroom fitted with a classic white suite, traditional wood panelling and matching timber flooring, which is further complemented by a separate, highly practical shower room neatly arranged off the central landing to easily accommodate a busy household.
Outside The property is approached via a sweeping driveway that provides extensive off-street parking for multiple vehicles and leads to both the integral garage and, through a five-bar gate, to a substantial, detached, black weatherboarded multipurpose outbuilding at the rear.
The front is laid to lawn and is bordered by established specimen trees.
To the rear, the grounds are encircled by a neat post-and-rail timber fence and unfurl into a magnificent, expansive lawn than enjoys complete privacy and an enviable, open aspect over the adjoining Essex countryside.
An elevated timber decking area, adorned with balustrades, leads directly out from the conservatory to create a perfect space for outdoor entertaining, and steps down to a paved patio with outside lighting.
The sprawling south-west facing garden features a majestic copper beech tree, a collection of mature fruit trees, a vegetable plot and an open, uninterrupted view over the River Pant valley that captures the very essence of peaceful rural living.
