St. Johns RoadStansted, Essex, CM24 8JS

An attractive and generously proportioned detached home occupying a private position within an established residential setting. The house has been carefully extended and improved to create an excellent balance of sociable family accommodation, comfortable reception rooms and practical ancillary space.

Electric gates open onto a broad block paved driveway, providing ample parking and creating an appealing sense of privacy on arrival. The handsome exterior combines traditional brick and rendered elevations, with a wide glazed extension across the rear bringing a more contemporary architectural character to the house.

The front door opens into a spacious, open plan entrance hall, immediately introducing the generous scale and considered layout of the accommodation. A useful boot room provides extensive fitted storage for coats and outdoor equipment, while a ground floor cloakroom adds everyday convenience.

The principal sitting room is a well proportioned and comfortable space, with broad glazed doors framing views across the rear garden and allowing natural light to fill the room. A contemporary media wall provides an attractive focal point, while the room’s proportions lend themselves equally well to relaxed family life and entertaining.

A further reception room is currently arranged as an atmospheric cinema room. Its generous dimensions and independent position make this a wonderfully versatile space, equally suited to use as a games room, home office, gym or more formal drawing room.

The heart of the home is the outstanding L-shaped kitchen, dining and family room. Extending across much of the rear of the house, this beautifully presented space has been designed for modern family life, combining distinct areas for cooking, dining and relaxation within one impressive open plan setting.
The kitchen is arranged around an informal breakfast bar and fitted with an extensive range of contemporary cabinetry, integrated appliances and generous work surfaces. Large format tiled flooring continues through the room, while two sets of bi-folding doors open directly onto the terrace. When opened, the doors create a natural connection between the house and garden, making the space particularly appealing for summer dining and entertaining.
A separate utility room provides further storage, laundry facilities and access to the side of the house.

On the first floor, a spacious landing leads to four double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobe storage. The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and benefits from two sets of fitted wardrobes together with a luxurious, fully tiled en suite shower room. Three further bedrooms offer flexible accommodation for family members, guests or home working, served by a modern family bathroom.

The bedrooms are individually presented and enjoy good natural light, with a mixture of calm neutral finishes and thoughtfully chosen feature colours. This gives each room its own character while maintaining a cohesive and welcoming interior throughout the house.

Outside, the secluded south facing rear garden is an especially attractive feature. A substantive terrace extends across the back of the house, providing generous room for outdoor seating, dining and entertaining. Beyond the terrace, a level lawn is bordered by established shrubs and mature trees, creating an appealing sense of enclosure and privacy. Gated access is available to both sides of the house, with an additional paved storage area and a garden shed.
