This unique maisonette forms part of The Gate House, an imposing and very handsome building with Victorian origins and a fascinating and varied history. The house with its Arts & Crafts façade was built by renowned local architect George Sherrin, to own and use as his family home and take advantage of its close proximity to Ingatestone train station. The apartment is arranged over two floors, and it enjoys a long lease of 169 years as well as a share of the freehold, much character and high ceilings throughout. The Gate House sits in the middle of its plot with a gravel driveway providing access, communal gardens and a mews style garage block to the rear.
What our vendor says….
“I have loved living at The Gate House since moving there 12 years ago.
I purchased the property, as at the time it was pre-covid and I was commuting everyday to work, so having the train station so close was ideal. I also remember vividly, walking into the dining area and seeing the view from the 6 windows there and thinking wow, how nice to look over the prettiest train station and the fields beyond.
Regarding the house, I have actually loved living in an “upside down house” as I love the view you get from the upper floor. I also love the large, light filled lounge to the rear of the property, in fact the house always feels light and airy whatever the weather.
The surrounding area is perfect too, within a few minutes you are in the quaint high street. You can also walk for miles through rolling countryside towards “Ingatestone hall”. Its also perfect for the commute to London for work or pleasure and the M25 is very accessible.”
