A stunning Grade II listed country residence from the 16th century, located to the west of Chelmsford City. The historic home has been thoroughly refurbished and sits on a plot spanning over an acre.
Inside: Be greeted by three inviting reception rooms including a living room with a brick fireplace and a centrally heated dining room. The kitchen/family room is built for entertaining, featuring a central island, solid oak units, a Rangemaster cooker and separate gas Rayburn. The first floor houses the four double bedrooms, two with modern en-suite bathrooms. Exposed beams throughout the property and a mix of tiled and wood-effect flooring maintain its historic charm.
Outside: Electronically controlled gates lead to a gravel driveway and a landscaped garden complete with seating areas. Numerous outbuildings, including a games room with a bar and a large barn, are perfect for storage or have conversion potential. Gardens bursting with mature trees and shrubs, an orchard, vegetable garden and greenhouse add to the property's charm, while a natural spring keeps the garden moisture under control.
Why we love it: Its harmonious blend of history and modern comforts, set amidst beautiful countryside. Chelmsford City Centre and main line rail services are all within easy reach too.
