About this property

  • Occupying a private gated site at the end of a small cul-de-sac, the house provides a secure environment for the family and has been recently modernised to provide a lower maintenance family home occupying a beautiful plot. A welcoming reception hall is finished with a tiled floor. From here there is access to a ground floor shower room, a utility room and children's playroom. At the rear of the house with elevated views over the grounds and farmland beyond is a kitchen/family room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of Shaker-style units finished with a grey tone with contrasting marble-style worktops and a series of integrated appliances. The room is open plan to a breakfast area with large windows overlooking the gardens and doors on to a terrace. There is planning consent to extend this room, creating a magnificent kitchen/family room.
    To the west is a sitting room which also has planning permission to be extended and features dual-aspect windows, a log burner and enjoys lovely views over the property's grounds with access on to the patio.

    The property has four bedrooms, one on the ground floor. On the first floor the principal bedroom has lovely dual-aspect windows, a fitted en suite dressing room and an en suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom.

    Outside
    A gated entrance opens into a broad drive providing secure parking for several vehicles, which in turn leads to the detached garaging/workshop with twin roller electric doors. There is an adjoining log store. Immediately behind the house is a raised terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, with steps down to a lower terrace area which leads on to the extensive grounds. The grounds are predominantly laid to grass with a scattering of fruit trees, a small woodland area of mainly oak trees and the site enjoys a beautiful vista over the adjoining farmland beyond.

    In all about 1.77 acres.

A hidden gem with land a views over farmland. What I love is the rural feel yet only 4.5miles from Epping underground station.
