Almost complete, Holmeswood House is a stunning new build country residence set over three floors offering superb family living space of over 4,300 sq. ft. Occupying a secluded position off Back Lane with wooded views from most aspects, the property combines exceptional modern quality with our favourite character features we would expect from a period property.

Being perfectly symmetrical, a central grand entrance hall opens out to the accommodation. Well-proportioned elegant rooms and large sash windows includes two formal reception rooms, one with a contemporary log burning fire, and the impressive open plan kitchen/dining/family room that extends the full width of the back of this fine home. Of particular note, the kitchen opens out on two sides onto the tranquil landscaped gardens creating a fantastic spot to entertain the entire family. In addition to the ground floor is a useful utility room with walk-in pantry.

The beautiful galleried landing on the first floor gives access to four bedrooms, all with ensuites,
and of particular note is the principle bedroom
with walk in dressing room and beautiful bathroom with feature walk in shower. Stairs lead up to the second floor where there are two additional bedrooms, both with ensuites, and a kitchenette and access into a substantial walk in storage area.

Further to the main house and accessed from the utility room, is a second staircase to a further guest wing or home office; for those needing a separate annexe, this space can be used in conjunction with the utility room as a second kitchen.

A gated sweeping driveway leads to the entrance and double garage, all surrounded by sympathetic landscaping and a sun terrace to the rear which will include a patio with pergola, outdoor firepit and barbeque area. Beyond the boundary are views over the neighbouring paddocks. Wired for CCTV if required.

Wickham Bishops has a vibrant community and everything one could need within a village, including local shops, post office, pub, tea room and even the famous Olio’s restaurant. The village also has a wide variety of clubs and activities you can either choose to be involved in or not, such as the village tennis and golf clubs and cinema; it also has a stone baked pizza truck that visits once a week as a treat to the villagers. Most of all, the village sits only a few miles from the commuter town of Witham and waterside town
of Maldon, yet has some incredible walks and cycle routes right from your doorstep.

The town of Witham is just 3 miles to the west

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
