The property is situated on High Easter Road in open countryside, an area with many fine period houses about half a mile from the centre of Barnston village. Chelmsford is about 12 miles away and the market town of Great Dunmow about 3 miles, both offering a good range of social, recreational and educational facilities.
Albans is a traditionally constructed Grade II Listed period house with a significant timber frame and rendered and weatherboarded elevations under a tiled roof. The Listing suggests that the property dates back to the 16th century and possibly earlier, but with later additions and alterations.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors with the original entrance hall leading to sitting room, there is then a dining room and drawing room with open fireplaces, some exposed timbers and wood panelling. At the far side of the sitting room there is an office, a utility room, further generous hallway leading to the well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room with central island, two oven oil fired Aga, integrated appliances and two sets of doors to the terrace.
On the first floor there are four bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room and on the second floor, two further bedrooms, a shower room, playroom and attic/storage room.
Outside, the property is approached over a short stretch of private road leading to a semi-circular gravelled driveway and a parking and turning area beside the house. There is also a modern open bay cart lodge and a room housing the water softener and oil fired boiler.
There are formal gardens immediately around the house and an extensive terrace, beyond there is a heated swimming pool and a timber building housing the filtration system. The remainder of the garden includes a vegetable patch, lawns, paddocks and maturing trees.
