Description
Dating back to the 16th century with later alterations, Hatleys is a substantial timber-framed house with plastered elevations under a thatched roof. The last full rethatch of the house and garage was completed in May 2022. The property, which has been in the same family since 1934, constitutes a valuable source of historical architecture and is listed as Grade II.
The charming family home provides a wealth of period features including exposed timberwork and beautiful inglenook fireplaces. The accommodation is arranged over two levels comprising five first floor bedrooms and a family bathroom, accessed via two independent staircases. There are four ground floor reception rooms, orientated with views over the garden and grounds and beyond. The property is of 'L' shaped design with an inner hall serving a traditional kitchen, boot room and cloakroom.
Outside
Hatleys occupies a largely rectangular-shaped plot set behind a sweeping gated driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles. To the rear of the house is a double-bay cart lodge with an adjoining studio and a delightful detached building of thatched roof design, providing storage facilities and offering excellent potential for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary planning consents. The gardens and grounds lie predominantly to the north and west of the house, providing extensive lawns interspersed with a variety of trees and shrubs. To the rear is an area of woodland providing a 'nature trail', making this an ideal home for those with outdoor interests. All in around 2.6 acres.

Location
Set back within its plot and occupying a country lane setting, Hatleys is positioned in a glorious semi-rural location within the peaceful hamlet of Mole Hill Green.
Mole Hill Green is a quaint and picturesque hamlet situated within the vicinity of Felsted. This delightful corner of the countryside offers a serene retreat while still being within easy reach of amenities and transportation links.
Felsted, 2.9 miles west of the property, provides local amenities including a village shop and post office. Holy Cross Church, The Swan Inn public house, a tea room and Rumblebees (a bookshop/music cafe) also serve the village.
The area is well served by both state and private schools with a primary and pre-school at Felsted, together with the renowned Felsted School for boys and girls from age 4-18, recognised for its academic excellence. There are secondary schools at Dunmow, Notley and Chelmsford.
Access to Mole Hill Green and Felsted is convenient, with several options available. The village is located just a short distance from the A120, a major road connecting it to nearby towns and cities such as Braintree and Chelmsford. This allows for easy commuting by car. For the commuter, the area benefits from its proximity to railway stations such as Braintree and Chelmsford, providing direct links to London Liverpool Street and other destinations across the region.
Despite its rural setting, Felsted, Great Dunmow and Chelmsford are well-connected and accessible, making them appealing locations with a delightful blend of rural charm and modern convenience.
