What Our Client Says
We have loved every minute of living here over the last 19 years, having such easy access onto the farmer’s field to the rear has enabled us to enjoy many a long country dog walk and having such a large garage/ driveway has allowed us to indulge in our other passion……classic cars ! With the equestrian yard at the end of the lane it’s would be an ideal location for families that wish to place their horses into livery.
History & Background
This deceptively spacious, versatile residence is believed to have previously been a dairy farm comprising two separate dwellings (barn and bungalow), that was extensively extended to the side, rear and first floor in 2001 and amalgamated into an incredibly spacious 3237 sq ft detached family residence. Surrounded by stunning undulating countryside, the property is tucked away on a country lane on the outskirts of the desirable, bustling town of Burnham – On – Crouch.
The sprawling accommodation On the ground floor includes a cavernous kitchen/ breakfast room, two/ three generous reception rooms, two/ three double bedrooms, all serviced by the family bathroom, whilst the first floor boasts principle bedroom with en suite and a further double bedroom.
The secluded 0.34 acre West facing grounds (stls) are a particular feature and benefit from the attached barn/ garage that could quiet easily be converted into a substantial self-contained annexe (stp) and detached office/ games room to the rear.
Setting & Location
The property is set back from the Maldon Road, along a country lane that leads to the Elmwood Equestrian Centre and is around a five minute drive into Burnham on Crouch, a charming small maritime town, world famous for being a yachting centre and calmer waters of the Crouch Estuary. The town offers an envious array of traditional shops with plenty of pubs, tea rooms and restaurants all of which are within walking distance from the property.
