Description

A house constructed to a bespoke design with emphasis on spacious rooms and light-filled accommodation. The property is located adjacent to farmland creating a semi-rural feel but located in the commuter-belt, three miles from Braintree railway station.

Double doors open into a huge entrance hall (24' x 16'.7") featuring a central staircase with glass balustrade, herringbone-style wood floor and a red-brick four opening fireplace. At the front of the house are two spacious reception rooms - one includes an inglenook-style fireplace with log burner. There are two cloakrooms, a bespoke fitted study and a separate dining room which has two sets of bi-folding doors out to the gardens. Pride of place goes to the sumptuously appointed kitchen/family room. Black gloss floor-to-ceiling units incorporate four ovens and an integrated fridge/freezer wrapped around an island with seating facility. The room is open-plan to a family area, bathed in natural light having a wall of bi-folding doors overlooking the gardens. On the opposite end of the kitchen is a fitted utility room with a door out to the garden.

On the first floor the landing is retained by glass balustrade creating a notable feature. There are five bedroom suites, each with bath or shower rooms. The principal bedroom suite includes a fitted dressing room, spacious bathroom and access out to a west-facing sundeck.

Immediately behind the house is a substantial terrace ideal for al fresco dining.
