Internally, the fine central entrance hall provides access to the majority of the principal rooms, all beautifully proportioned, with period features and high ceilings; an elegant drawing room and dining room with interconnected doors and open fireplaces; family room with masses of natural light, with woodburner and bi-fold doors leading outside; and a study. Most notable to the ground floor is the impressive kitchen/breakfast room which the current vendors have opened out into a family room meaning it extends the full length of the property making this the hub of the house, with access to the utility room, pantry and cellar.
The cellar is not like any cellar, but a hidden playroom or hobby space, which the clients utilise as a games room with bar, wine cellar and gym. Whilst to the first and second floors are seven good sized bedrooms, the principal has a dressing room and ensuite, two further with en suites and a family bathroom; all enjoying views over the surrounding gardens and countryside beyond.
Pond cottage, has been recently refurbished by the vendors and is currently used as additional guest accommodation. Though for those who wish to generate additional income, it could be rented out subject to the necessary consents. Those needing space for multi generation living, this gives family members their own space within the grounds of the main house.

Within the grounds and to the side of the main house, is the large grade II listed Essex barn. An incredible vast space with endless opportunities. At present it has planning permission granted for conversion to two semi-detached dwellinghouses. Though, for those that don’t wish to do this, they could be converted as ancillary space to the main house as party barns or even home offices. Otherwise, they are an ideal space for the family to enjoy or use as storage.
Rawreth Hall is approached by a long gravel driveway which winds past the cottage and up to the main house with turning circle.
To the front, are areas of lawn bordered by high hedging and mature trees giving the property plenty of seclusion and privacy. There is also a beautiful pond along with garaging to the front. Surrounding the property are areas of patios and terracing allowing overspill entertaining from the main house.

The back of the house and rear terrace is all south-facing making it the perfect spot for al fresco dining all year round with the outdoor sail over the hot tub giving protection from sun, rain and wind.
