3 bedroom detached house for sale

Quaint and quirky detached cottage on 0.2 acre plot (stls) with spacious detached studio/ office and stabling

What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group

This property really is as deceptively spacious as it is versatile and could be utilised in a number for different ways. With two useful outbuildings situated to the rear, the property offers annexe potential (stp) and would be ideal for any discerning families seeking multi-generational living. The wonderfully secluded West facing grounds are perfect for entertaining friends and family during the Summer months, culminating with observing the sensational sun sets.

What the Owner Says

We have thoroughly enjoyed living here for the last nine years, being located so close to the wide range of amenities that Brentwood has to offer and the easy commute into London has been hugely convenient. It will be a wrench to leave our lovely home but the time has come for us to move on and start a new chapter in our lives.

History & Background

A quaint and hugely versatile detached 1920’s style three double bedroom single storey cottage with the unique benefit of having an excellent detached office/ studio and stable block within it’s 0.2 acre grounds (stls). The yard provides additional parking/storage with the opportunity to stable horses/ponies at home or utilise the buildings for other permissible ancillary uses which could range from guest annexe/leisure to home office/hobbies uses. The cottage has been vastly improved, with its versatile layout, which further benefits from having Victorian style fireplaces. Outside there is space to park a small Equitrek style horsebox (or trailer) on the front with gated rear vehicular access to the rear yard. The outbuilding and studio/ office both have power, water & light connected and whilst there is no grazing to offer, some purchasers could convert into stabling in order to make livery savings by keeping their horses stabled at home during the winter months and source local livery/grazing during spring/summer.

Setting & Location

The property is situated in a sought after location, just under 2 miles to the north of Wilsons corner and approximately 2.4 miles from Brentwood’s mainline station.

Hatch road is a mixed residential street and behind the property is a parcel of amenity land with grazing and arable farmland beyond. There are local shops (two doors away) which include a general convenience store, traditional butchers and a hairdressers. A footpath can be accessed at the end of the road for country walks.

Brentwood is a highly convenient, reputable town for commuters, largely surrounded by picturesque countryside, yet with immediate National & City access via the M25 (J28), A12 and connections for M11. Brentwood Station is 3.5 miles from the property and Shenfield (Crossrail) is just over 4 miles. Brentwood offers an excellent range of shopping and furthermore, excellent schooling, alongside numerous private schools.

Accommodation

The improved accommodation with a Victorian style cottage ambience commences with a

spacious entrance hall with coir matting and built in boots/cloaks storage cupboards. Access then leads in to a central sitting room where French doors lead out to the gravelled terrace area. A feature fireplace surround incorporates a built in chest of drawers for additional storage. Cottage style doors lead off the sitting room to most other rooms which includes a double bedroom with Victorian style fireplace, access to a part boarded loft area and its own modern en-suite bathroom fitted in a white suite with slate effect ceramic flooring. There is access from the central sitting room to a twin room arrangement; currently as a snug/music room with a pretty Victorian style fireplace and thru access to a further double bedroom with similar fireplace (ideal for a teenager’s suite). An attractive Victorian style galley kitchen has hand painted units, solid wood worktops with space and plumbing beneath for several white goods, concealed by red gingham check curtaining to provide a traditional period look. The walls are part panelled with black & white ceramic tiling surrounding the gas cooker. Thru the kitchen, onto a pleasant breakfast/dining room with French doors to the garden and remaining access to a shower room and adjoining third double bedroom.

Grounds

The front and side boundaries offer good screening with mostly mixed hedges and parking in front of the property for around three vehicles which includes space for a small horsebox/trailer or van. Double gates to the side of the cottage provide vehicular access to the rear where there is an attractive hedge and picket fence enclosed garden with a stepping stone path to the shed and gravelled terrace areas. The garden faces west for evening sunsets.

Detached Office/ Studio 

Situated to the rear of the grounds are two outbuildings, one of which is currently being used as an office/ music studio but could easily be converted into a self contained annexe if required (stp) and the second is a good size outbuilding with power, light and water connected.
