A stunning barn conversion, providing far-reaching countryside views, in a peaceful setting and being sold with no onward chain.
A beautifully presented Essex barn, sympathetically converted, occupying a delightful semi-rural setting with versatile and light-filled accommodation, in excess of 3,600 sq ft.
Formerly part of Hovels Farm Estate, the barn was converted in 2015 and is curtilage listed as being of Architectural or Historical Interest Grade II.
The property provides many fine period features including exposed timberwork with modern conveniences such as underfloor heating and a luxury, fully equipped kitchen.
The property is entered from the front into a stunning open-plan kitchen and living area, designed to maximise natural light. This space boasts high ceilings and large windows, creating a bright and airy atmosphere perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features custom units and high-end appliances. The room integrates with the living area, allowing for a sociable space, ideal for family living.
Conveniently located off the main living area is an inner lobby leading to a cloakroom. A well-equipped utility room provides additional storage and appliances. The inner hall connects the rest of the ground floor accommodation, providing access to a rear terrace. The main bedroom features a spacious dressing area and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom. There is a further reception room with views over the front courtyard, offering the option for a variety of uses. There is a dedicated home office, private gym or an additional bedroom with another well-proportioned bedroom on the ground floor, ideal for guests or family members. Concluding the ground floor accommodation is a family bathroom. To the first floor there are three additional bedrooms, one of these bedrooms includes an en suite bathroom and a dressing room. The first floor living room is a stunning feature of the property, boasting a vaulted ceiling. Beyond is a second office space.
Set back from its country lane setting, Hovells Barn is approached through electric gates, opening to an enclosed courtyard area that is predominantly brick-paved, providing ample parking space for several vehicles. Beyond is a detached single garage. To the side is an area of garden, laid to lawn providing a delightful seating area, bordered by an attractive red-brick wall, adding a touch of historic charm and providing a sense of privacy and seclusion. Accessed from an inner hall, on the side of the property, is a further terrace seating area with far-reaching countryside views.
