The Gatehouse is a distinctive and beautifully finished modern home, set within just over half an acre of gardens in a peaceful rural location with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Combining contemporary design with characterful features and an exceptional level of natural light, this high-efficiency property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy countryside living with modern comforts. A vaulted entrance hall makes an immediate impression, with a striking feature window drawing in light and offering a framed view of the landscape beyond.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area has been designed as the heart of the home, featuring a central breakfast island, integrated appliances, and triple-aspect glazing. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out, ideal for entertaining or everyday family life. The sitting room provides a cosy and elegant space, centred around an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove. French doors again lead to the rear terrace, making the most of the south-facing aspect. A separate study with a large front-facing window offers an ideal work-from-home environment, while a utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor, which benefits from underfloor heating throughout.

A contemporary staircase with glass balustrade leads to the first floor, where there are four spacious double bedrooms. Each room includes built-in wardrobes, and two benefit from modern en suite shower rooms. The family bathroom features a freestanding roll-top bath, stylish tiled flooring, and wood-panelled walls, creating a luxurious yet timeless feel.

The grounds extend to 0.51 acres and laid mainly to lawn and framed by mature planting and open views. A south-facing Indian sandstone terrace offers a perfect spot for al fresco dining, while a decked seating area to the west of the garden captures the evening sun.

Planning permission has been granted for a detached triple bay cartlodge with store and living accommodation above (Uttlesford District Council ref: UTT/23/1061/HHF). Foundations are already in place, securing the approval in perpetuity and presenting excellent scope for future development. Offered with no onward chain, The Gatehouse is a superb example of modern rural living, thoughtfully designed and ready to enjoy, with the added benefit of planning potential for further expansion.
