Enjoying an unrivalled rural setting with panoramic views over the surrounding landscape from every window, is this immaculate home dating back to the 1860's. The property with its handsome Arts & Crafts facade & chimney, has been transformed in the last year, following a quality two storey rear extension and a complete, professional renovation programme. Norton Mandeville is a small, undulating and very pretty Essex village, equidistant from Chelmsford to the east, Brentwood to the south and the M11 motorway to its west. The extension now provides for a much larger entertaining kitchen, with an accompanying larder, utility and cloakroom. There are also 2 seating areas enjoying open fires and to the first floor are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The front gardens have been set aside for vehicle parking and the rear garden has been landscaped with a broad terrace, lawn and a raised decking area surrounding a timber cabin, ideal for WFH or gym use. This beautiful home stands on high ground overlooking the church, the farm and valley beyond, this is 'the good life' in respect of the home and setting, but an Ultrafast full fibre broadband installation and the needs and comforts of modern life, have now been catered for.
