Description
Rowlandson House is a stunning and versatile family home with gardens backing onto Thorndon Park Golf Course. It has impressive red-brick and rendered elevations with stone dressing and extends to approximately 5,890 sq ft with a substantial secondary building consisting of garaging with a studio over.
Upon entering the house there is a vestibule with cloakroom and coat cupboard. A wonderful reception hall includes a fine staircase together with a fireplace providing a focal point. All the rooms have high ceilings and deep windows providing light-filled accommodation.
At the rear of the house the incredible kitchen/ breakfast/family room forms the hub of this exceptional family residence. The kitchen is bespoke fitted by Armstrong Jordan, with solid wood cabinetry, lined in walnut and finished in coloured tones, with contrasting featured areas of walnut. Miele appliances are anchored around a centrepiece substantial island with circular breakfast bar. Some of the appliances include an induction hob, integrated ovens, a microwave/oven, a steamer, a coffee machine, warming drawers, a beer/drinks/wine display cooler, larder fridge and dishwasher.
The room opens into a living/garden room with full-height glazing framing lovely views over the gardens and the golf course. Adjacent is a walk-in larder and fitted utility room housing two boilers.
At the front of the house are two stunning living rooms, both with fireplaces and featuring high ceilings with shadow lighting. The sitting room has a concealed door into a fitted home office, again with bespoke furniture. The rear window of this room offers a lovely vista over the gardens.
From the hallway a flight of stairs rises to a galleried landing and five spacious bedrooms. The principal bedroom is designed to take advantage of the views, with a retained opening and glazed doors. There is an en suite dressing and bathroom. The remaining bedrooms each have their own en suite.
On the second floor is a further bedroom with en suite and a versatile space, currently used as a games room.
Outside
The frontage provides lawned gardens abutting a substantial block-paved drive. There is a detached treble garage with an external staircase to a studio room and store over. The rear gardens, south-west facing, have a wrap-around porcelain stone finished terrace for al fresco dining. At the side of the house, a secluded area of decking includes a sunken hot tub and garden shed. The gardens are predominantly lawned with a backdrop of mature borders and trees and a view over the golf course.

Herongate and Ingrave are also within the catchment area for St Martin’s senior school and within 2 miles of the public school at Brentwood.
Immediately adjoining the village is Thorndon Country Park, a popular visitors’ attraction with miles of walks, bridleways, and fishing lakes. On the park's fringes is Thorndon Park Golf Club and the house backs onto the 13th tee.
