A striking timber framed period farmhouse in an idyllic setting on the outskirts of Felsted offering immaculate internal living space including drawing room, sitting room, study, entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, five bedrooms (2 ensuite), family bathroom. Formal grounds, tennis court, detached barn/workshop.
Planning consent to convert the detached barn into a two storey, two bed annexe, previous planning consent granted for a single and double extension to the rear of the main house, planning consent to knock through kitchen/dining room to form a large kitchen breakfast room. Adjacent paddock available under separate negotiation if required. Idyllic peaceful setting within the periphery of Felsted. EPC Exempt.
Larks was converted into a residential property during the 16th century. Constructed of part exposed timber frame and brick under a tiled roof. Listed as being of architectural and historical interest grade 2 and has been subject to an extensive programme of refurbishment and improvement. Work included the repair of the oak parquet floors, sandstone flooring at the rear of the house, internal solid oak doors, the checking of all existing wiring and plumbing, bespoke cabinets and shelving to the study, the fitting of a new kitchen including limestone worktops and the installation of quality bathrooms, showers and cloakrooms. The house now provides immaculate family living space over two floors.
It is important to note that there is planning in place to open the existing kitchen/breakfast room to the adjoining dining room which could create a wonderful kitchen/living/dining area looking onto the front of the house and pond. Planning permission was also granted in September 2009 for a two storey and single storey rear extension off the rear of the house to include a further first floor bedroom with en suite; this has since lapsed.
Larks is approached over a gravel drive via electric gates leading to a parking area for a number of cars. Adjacent to the parking area is a log store and a large modern weatherboard and tiled barn comprising a garage and workshop with an open tread staircase to the first floor, presently used for storage this has now also obtained the benefit of planning permission for conversion into a two-bedroom annexe. Ideal for dual generation living or indeed fantastic office space. The garden to the front is laid to lawn incorporating a large, picturesque duck pond, a number of trees including maple, willow and horse chestnut enclosed on three sides by established hedging. A York stone terrace/patio to the rear of the house opens onto the delightful rear garden which is also laid to lawn with established borders and a detached summer house. Discreetly set behind a high Evergreen hedge, is a beautiful all weather fenced tennis court which is further enclosed by high hedging. Far reaching open countryside protects the rear boundary. The gardens are extremely private and peaceful.
Larks is located to the South of Bannister Green, a hamlet within the parish of Felsted. Felsted provides local amenities, including a village shop/post office, two pubs, coffee shop, Felsted Public school, as well as a Primary school. For the commuter there are mainline train stations to Liverpool Street from Chelmsford, Braintree, Bishop Stortford and Stansted Airport. There are also strong road links via the A120 onto the M11.
