Designed with sustainability at its core, the house achieves an A+ energy rating and incorporates solar panels with battery storage, an air-source heat pump, triple glazing, heat recovery ventilation, rainwater harvesting and rain chains. There is underfloor heating throughout and the principal suite offers air conditioning. The zinc-clad exterior gives the home a striking modern appearance. Finished to an exceptional standard, this contemporary property offers three en suite bedrooms, expansive open-plan living accommodation and a stunning roof terrace.

Internally, the accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, has engineered oak flooring throughout and includes a sleek open-plan kitchen, dining and living area - a space designed for relaxed family living and entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the interior with natural light, while bespoke finishes and appliances complete the space. A ground floor guest suite provides privacy and direct access to the gardens. There is a lift to the first floor.

The upper level is arranged around the showpiece roof terrace - an idyllic retreat for morning coffee or evening drinks. The principal suite features vaulted ceilings, ambient lighting, a private seating area, an en suite bathroom, dressing room and laundry room. There is a further en suite bedroom, each space finished to the same exacting standard.

Winner of Maldon District Council's Sustainability Award, Paternoster Lodge offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a contemporary home that combines design excellence with outstanding environmental credentials.

Outside
The property is entered via secure gates opening onto a sweeping gravel driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, alongside a detached double garage with an electric up-and-over door and an adjoining workshop. An external staircase leads to the first floor, currently utilised as a studio/storage area, but offering excellent potential for a range of alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.

In addition, there is a covered parking area/carport which has been purpose-designed to allow future conversion into ancillary living accommodation and benefits from three generous storage cupboards/plant rooms. There is also a log store.

The beautifully landscaped gardens extend to approximately one acre and feature a pond, together with a wide selection of mature trees and established shrubs. There is an abundance of wildlife in the area. The property further benefits from sophisticated above-ground rainwater harvesting units and an array of 18 solar panels supported by three 6kW batteries.

Completing the grounds is a substantial timber-framed outbuilding with separate WC facilities, a high-quality Gabriel Ash greenhouse (to remain) and a striking slate obelisk feature.
