We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

** DUE TO A HIGH NUMBER OF ENQUIRIES THERE WILL BE AN OPEN HOUSE ON THE 25TH APRIL, PLEASE CONTACT THE OFFICE TO BOOK IN ** Essex House is a fine Georgian residence of grace and distinction, discreetly tucked away behind high stone walls and double gates in the heart of Saltash.
Dating from 1848, the property has been beautifully preserved and enhanced, combining classical architecture with modern refinements to create a home that is both elegant and practical for contemporary family living.
The accommodation, extending to around 2,551 sq ft, is arranged to balance grand entertaining spaces with warm and inviting family rooms.
The welcoming entrance hall, with its period detailing, provides a fitting introduction.
The generous kitchen/breakfast room opens to the sitting/dining area, creating an ideal space for gatherings, with an new installed log burner and stripped pine floors.
Additional reception rooms include a Lounge and a third reception room with wood-burning stove, offering versatility for entertaining, relaxation, or working from home.
Upstairs, the principal suite is a true sanctuary, showcasing a striking bay oriel window and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom.
Three further double bedrooms are offered, one with its own en-suite shower room, and the other two sharing a Jack and Jill suite, all finished to a high standard.
Period features such as ornate plasterwork, original fireplaces, and large sash windows are found throughout, flooding the interiors with natural light and enhancing the sense of grandeur.
For the current owners, Essex House has been cherished as a true generational home, affectionately known as their “Christmas house,” where family and close friends gather year after year to celebrate.
Its proportions, warmth and flow make it perfectly suited to hosting occasions both large and intimate, often accompanied by a well-earned glass of bubbles.
Gardens & Grounds The property sits within secluded walled gardens, approached via double gates opening to a level driveway and a detached double garage with electric door.
The gardens are landscaped with lawns, established beds, and mature trees, providing both beauty and privacy.
A south-facing paved terrace, framed by a wisteria-clad pergola, creates the perfect setting for al fresco dining and summer entertaining.
