What we think at Zoe Napier Group This is going to make a dream home for the lucky buyer – The property offers the 'feel good' factor and is just waiting for a family to enjoy the facilities, explore the woodland and live in an oasis that offers all the right ingredients. We particularly love the south facing New England style veranda for summer al-fresco dining overlooking the pool. 

What the Owners Say We have been here for 9 years now, made significant improvements and gained planning to almost double the size of the house, if required. We have had an amazing time here and it has been a huge decision to move. The family parties, with marquee in the garden, tents and pool parties will leave us with many special memories. 

History & Background This highly versatile and amazing New England style family home is nestled in a quiet lane, whilst set in 3.7 acres of mature gardens and its own private 150-year-old, enchanting woodland which contains meandering paths and wildfowl ponds, whilst attracting a vast array of British wildlife from Kingfishers, Owl & Woodpeckers to Munt Jak Deer, Foxes and Pheasants.
The house offers immense versatility with up to seven bedrooms, five being on the ground floor, allowing for extended family living arrangements or additional reception rooms. Currently offering approximately 2700 sq ft of floor space with plans passed for a significant three storey extension taking the living areas to approximately 4282 sq ft. The property is equally substantial as it currently stands with the further benefits of the outside spaces, formal gardens, and enclosed heated swimming pool complex. In addition, the outbuildings extend and provide a further 1000 sq ft of floor area which includes a double garage and a large ancillary leisure building, currently used as a home office suite, and formerly used as a large games room.
Our clients further own an adjacent adjoining building plot* which is available, strictly by separate negotiation. Plans have been passed for an approximate 1852 sq ft (including garage) three bedroom detached house. This plot faces onto Birchwood Road (as infill) and is not considered to impede upon the main house and grounds, albeit a useful consideration for the buyer to purchase for extended family members, if required. 

Setting & Location The property is situated in the small hamlet of Cock Clarks, with a quaint pub called the Fox & Hounds which is within a short walk. Equally close is the Maldon Oyster Company and their purification farm, where oysters can be bought on the doorstep! The area is largely that of a typical Essex farming village which lies approximately 9 miles south east of Chelmsford City. The nearest neighbouring villages are Purleigh (1.5 miles) and Danbury (3 miles). The surrounding countryside offers a great network of footpaths for country walks and not far from the property is Stow Maries Great War Aerodrome with an interesting visitors museum and the occasional sight of historic wartime aircraft, especially during their open day fly ins.
The house itself is nestled down a quiet lane with extensive road frontage and further screened by mature mix hedge boundaries, offering maximum privacy. A second gate provides access through to the grounds and woodland, where bird song provides the sounds of nature, combined with the more formal Mediterranean style grounds, where a stunning wisteria clad covered veranda, provides shade and shelter for summer al fresco dining, whilst overlooking the heated pool complex and just beyond, is the pool house which also contains a sauna.
