Remarkable Georgian style house on the north-eastern edge of Chelmsford.

Description

A beautifully presented family home providing light-filled accommodation, constructed in 2002 by Michael Howard Homes. The property is the largest design on the development and includes a triple-bay cart lodge with studio accommodation above. The property has been thoughtfully designed, influenced by 18th century Georgian style and architecture, with fine symmetrical elevations and 12 foot ceiling heights. The property enjoys fine levels of accommodation set over three floors, beautifully decorated in neutral tones throughout and enhanced with solid wood flooring and quality fittings.

A fine reception hall provides a welcoming entrance and includes a feature staircase rising two floors. The principal reception room extends some 30 ft with direct access via double doors onto the rear garden. On the opposite side of the house a comfortable dining room with twin sash windows provides a wealth of natural light and would easily substitute as a family room. The kitchen is accessed from the rear of the reception hall and has been comprehensively fitted with a range of light-coloured units and granite worktops. Beyond is a utility room and pantry. The kitchen is open plan to an orangery which enjoys light-filled accommodation exemplified by deep windows which frame lovely views of the garden.

On the first floor there are four large bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal bedroom suite extends the full depth of the house and includes a dressing area and large en suite bathroom. On the second floor there is a two-bedroom suite which, with minimal alteration, may suit as a self-contained teenager's flat with each of the two rooms having access to an en suite facility.

Outside
There is a set of electronic gates to the side of the house opening to a courtyard and detached triple-bay garage with studio room above. The garage provides power and water offering the opportunity to utilise as annexe accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. At the rear the landscaped gardens commence with a large circular terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, which merges into a vast expanse of lawn running the width of the garden. To the side of the garden is a detached timber-framed summerhouse.
