150, Hanging Hill Lane, Hutton, CM13 2HG

A most attractive and substantial 1920s Arts and Crafts style detached family home, occupying a beautifully landscaped mature plot of 1.015 acre (stls), discreetly positioned on the sought-after borders of Hutton Mount.

The property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home with excellent scope for extension or redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Set well back from the road behind extremely mature hedging and trees, the house benefits from a high degree of privacy and is approached via a sweeping block-paved driveway with a central turning circle, leading to ample parking and a detached double garage.

Despite its private setting, the property is ideally located within the commuter belt, with Shenfield mainline station within walking distance and convenient access to the A12, A127 and M25.

The house also lies within the highly regarded St. Martin's School catchment.

Internally, the property retains many period features, including generous ceiling heights, fireplaces and well-proportioned rooms, with the principal reception rooms and bedrooms featuring attractive outlooks over the extensive gardens.

The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen/breakfast and dining room, flooded with natural light and opening directly onto the rear garden terrace.

The kitchen is extensively fitted with bespoke cabinetry, granite worktops and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, centred around a large island with cooking station.

A useful utility room sits adjacent, providing additional storage and laundry facilities.

There are three main reception rooms, including a charming sitting room with a gas fireplace and bespoke shelving, a large study/home office with garden access, and an impressive principal lounge with triple-aspect light, French doors to the terrace and a striking red-brick fireplace with log-burning stove.

To the first floor, a bright galleried landing leads to the five bedrooms, three of which overlook the rear gardens.

The principal bedroom suite features extensive full-height fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room with underfloor heating.

The remaining bedrooms are well proportioned and served by a luxurious family bathroom with jacuzzi bath, walk-in shower and underfloor heating.

Outside, the gardens are a particular highlight, extending to 1.015 acre and thoughtfully planted to provide year-round colour and privacy.

Immediately to the rear of the house is a substantial split-level terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.

Beyond lies a sweeping expanse of lawn punctuated by mature trees, island beds and shrub borders, giving the grounds a parkland feel.

Additional features include a garden cabin/summer house with power suitable for home working, a greenhouse, sheds, and at the far end of the plot a former tennis court and composting area.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Arts and Crafts style home in one of the area’s most desirable locations, offering privacy, character, outstanding gardens and significant future potential.
