Features and description
A beautiful part thatched country residence, thought to date back to the 14th Century with 20th century wing. There are five double bedrooms, four receptions and stunning, established grounds of circa 0.75 of an acre (stls). Set within the idyllic village of Aythorpe Roding, backing onto far reaching countryside. Double garage and extensive parking. Felsted school less than 10 miles. EPC exempt.
DESCRIPTION
Approached via a five bar gate onto a sweeping gravel driveway offering generous parking, leading to a detached double garage. A side gate beyond the garage gives access to the stunning rear gardens which have been meticulously improved and maintained by the current owners. Predominantly lawned, with established specimen trees and well considered landscaped beds offering colour and interest throughout the year. A sunken, west facing block paved patio is located to the side of the house, accessed from the garden/dining room and protected by wooden sleepers and lovely box hedging. A further extensive patio/terrace runs the entirety of the rear of the house, bordered by a mellow low level brick wall and accessed from the principal reception. This fantastic space offers numerous seating areas which are south facing, enjoying lovely views across the grounds and countryside beyond. Steps lead down to a delightful gravel pathway bordered with lavender, bisecting the main formal lawns and deep beds to the eastern boundary offering further extensive planting of perennials and evergreens. Beyond is a delightful bridge above an idyllic stream located to the rear boundary which also provides the working section of the garden, discreetly hidden behind established hedging. A pedestrian gate opens directly onto the adjoining countryside, offering lovely uninterrupted walks. The gardens benefit from external lighting and three external taps.
Internally, Yeomans offers a modern flow of family living space over two floors retaining the features you would expect from a timber frame house of the period. The entrance hall links the older section previously mentioned with the sympathetic modern wing, resulting in an interesting blend of bright and spacious accommodation. It also provides a ground floor cloakroom and the principal staircase to the first floor bedrooms. To the west wing of the house is a dual aspect Hunter Brooks kitchen, opening via double doors into a stunning dining/garden room which has been completely overhauled by the current owners, using top of the range solid wood joinery with double glazing. Two sets of double doors open to the south and west terraces.
The sitting room is dual aspect and opens via double doors onto the south terrace. It is a delightful reception and also benefits from an inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove on a brick hearth and beautiful wood panelling. The snug is located to the centre of the house, also benefitting from a dual aspect to the front and rear. It also houses the original front door to the driveway and a most impressive inglenook with another wood burning stove. Beyond the snug, within the east wing of the house is a generous office/study with stairwell to the 5th bedroom/nursery adjoining the master and a further Tudor staircase to a delightful 4th double bedroom with impressive, vaulted ceiling and lovely views of the rear garden. To the ground floor beyond the office is a family bathroom which serves bedroom 4 and 5 and utility room which provides external access to the garden. It is important to note that this section of the house could be adapted to create independent living space from the main house, potentially offering two bedrooms if required and subject to the usual consents.
The master bedroom is also located within the original section of the property, again benefitting from a vaulted ceiling and wonderful views of the rear gardens. The landing extends to the two remaining double bedrooms in the newer section to the west wing, served by a second family bathroom. All of the bedrooms offer lovely views.
Yeomans occupies a charming rural location within the ever popular village of Aythorpe Roding , located along an idyllic country lane. The property is part thatched, Grade II* listed and backs onto far reaching open countryside. That said, it is still just a short drive from the market town of Great Dunmow and the A120, only 9 miles from Stansted Airport/Stansted Express and just a 15 minute drive from Sawbridgeworth mainline train station into Liverpool St. There is a good local pub within walking distance and a wide variety of strong schooling in all sectors within close proximity.
