Poole StreetGreat Yeldham, Halstead, Essex, CO9 4HP

An immaculately presented detached period home, believed to date back to the 1700s, sympathetically extended and enhanced to create an exceptional family home combining character with tastefully presented interiors. Occupying a discreet position accessed from Poole Street, on the fringes of the sought-after village of Great Yeldham, the property enjoys a convenient setting for local amenities, schooling and road links.

Deceptively spacious throughout, the house extends to approximately 1,915sq ft, complemented by a range of useful outbuildings, and occupies a delightful plot of about 0.5 of an acre. A generous driveway provides ample parking and leads to a detached double garage with adjoining carport. In addition, there is a substantial detached gym/studio and a charming former wash house, now converted into a versatile hobbies room, ideal for working from home. The property is offered for sale with no onward chain.

A solid oak entrance door opens into the welcoming reception hall, which features wide oak floorboards, a window overlooking the gardens and a staircase rising to the first floor. The elegant lounge is a particularly fine reception space, showcasing exposed ceiling timbers, an impressive Inglenook fireplace with substantial bressummer beam, oak flooring and windows to two elevations. A square archway leads into the delightful garden room, beautifully constructed with a green oak frame beneath a vaulted ceiling and enjoying French doors opening directly onto the gardens.

Forming the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, breakfast/living room, an exceptional entertaining space extending to over 30ft in length. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with an extensive range of bespoke floor and wall-mounted cabinetry beneath solid oak work surfaces, complemented by a large central island. Integrated appliances include two Smeg ovens, an induction hob, dishwasher and wine fridge, while the original Rayburn cooking range provides a charming focal point. A walk-in pantry offers excellent additional storage, and oak flooring continues throughout the room. Bi-fold doors open onto a sheltered west-facing courtyard, creating an ideal space for indoor and outdoor entertaining.
The adjoining utility room is well equipped with painted cabinetry, oak work surfaces, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer, together with oak flooring. Adjacent is a cloakroom.
