Rectory ChaseSandon, Chelmsford, CM2 7SQ

The house has been the subject of a complete programme of restoration and extension, thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and family living. At the property's heart is a magnificent and highly appointed kitchen which is open-plan to a family dining area. This light-filled room includes a log burner, and a Shaker-style fitted kitchen with a substantial island finished with a deep blue finish which contrasts beautifully with the feature sandstone floor-to-ceiling fireplace.

The reception hall features two full-height windows providing a good deal of natural light which in turn gives access to the cloakroom. At the rear of the house the living room has glazed doors providing a lovely outlook over the gardens and features a sandstone fireplace with a log burner. The dining area, with dual-aspect windows, is finished with wood flooring. A back hallway with hanging coat cupboard and additional storage cupboard provides access to a utility room with wood-block working surfaces and a good range of fitted units with space for white goods. At the far end of the house is a useful games room finished with a wood floor and this area also provides for a potential annexe (subject to planning permission). A home office has dual-aspect windows and a range of bespoke fitted furniture together with a walk-in cupboard. A second staircase provides access to a guest bedroom which incorporates a study area and en suite bathroom. From the reception hall the main stairs provide access to a large landing, four en suite bedrooms and a study/dressing room. The principal bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, double doors on to a Juliet balcony providing extensive views over the property's gardens, a fitted range of mirror-fronted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom.
