3 bedroom detached house

What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group

An idyllic setting with lovely views, and huge scope to re-develop this immaculately kept dwelling to create a larger country home (subject to planning). There is even the speculative possibility of a future infill plot (stp), and the triple garage building is less than 2m from the dwelling for extended leisure/family accommodation stp.

What the Owners Say

We have been here 27 years and have loved every minute. In fact, if we could downsize in the immediate facility, we would love to, as the neighbours and small community here are just lovely. The setting, tranquillity, and wildlife here are unparalleled, yet we are so close to Chelmsford, Felsted, and The Racecourse.

History & Background

A characterful detached chalet-style house situated in an idyllic location with equestrian facilities and in all 4.15 acres. The property was constructed circa 1938 and later re-modelled to accommodate two double bedrooms in the high attic space, where the main bedroom benefits from having a stylish en-suite and views out across to the stables and acreage. The ground floor, therefore, has several rooms (including former bedrooms), hence why we have described the property to have the versatility of three bedrooms if needed. The sitting room and dining room each have open fire facilities and there is a further front room containing the staircase, a rear office, and the delightful addition of a Victorian-style conservatory. The kitchen is well equipped (part open plan to the dining room) with also a rear lobby.

The current owners are keen and motivated to downsize now, and the sale is subject to them finding a suitable property, so timing might be a key consideration, as too, the possibility of the incoming buyer taking custodianship of their four donkeys, albeit they can otherwise go to the donkey sanctuary.

Setting & Location

The property is situated in a slightly elevated position with an extensive 350m road frontage, where the house sits in a slightly elevated position with its scenic acreage running down to the west from which magnificent sunsets can be enjoyed from the terrace. The paddocks are neatly formed into two main meadows, where there is gated access from the lane. The remaining land features a sizeable, well-kept garden and an orchard area to the east side) where there might be longer-term prospects of a future infill building plot stp)*

The equestrian facilities are to the rear of the property nicely contained with an enclosed yard area. The stable block with solid block constructions offers two full-size boxes and a similar-sized lockable feed/tack room with a sink. Behind are three chicken houses and adjacent is a hay store (up to 10 large rectangular bales), with a further open-fronted trailer store.

Bartholomew Green is a highly sought-after rural hamlet in the Felsted civil parish and the Uttlesford district of Essex. The area is largely surrounded by glorious undulating countryside with the villages of Felsted and Great Leighs being approximately 3 miles equidistance with the nearest town, Braintree also being 3 miles. An excellent location for surrounding schools and for the private school sector with Felsted close by. New Hall, The Grammar & County High are also within daily reach, located in Chelmsford City.

Braintree, Felsted & Great Leighs – 3 miles, Great Dunmow 7 miles, Chelmsford City 10 miles, Stansted Airport 17 miles.
