4 bedroom detached house

THE HOME

Set in a rural yet convenient location, only a short drive to village of Kelvedon for a variety of local amenities and shops, and to the A12 north and south. There is an immediate sense of country living with views across open fields to the front and a combination of green mature woodland and open farmland to the rear. With only one immediate neighbour, it is located in close proximity to vast the Braxted Park and Kelvedon Hall estates.

Typical of the most desirable barn conversions, the vaulted ceilings, with their sweeping arches and high expanses, provide a dramatic, light and airy atmosphere. The increased vertical height allows light to cascade in, enhancing the spacious and open principle living area. Natural light floods the room, highlighting architectural details and creating a warm, inviting environment. This combination of height and light offers a sense of grandeur and openness that is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally beneficial.

ACCOMMODATION
In total 4328 sq. ft. and a plot of approximately 0.5 acres (STMS)

Accommodation includes a ground floor double bedroom/that is currently used as a living room, three first floor bedrooms - two doubles and bathroom to one wing and the principle suite with walk in wardrobe and en-suite to the other.

The main vaulted reception hall is segmented into three areas - the dining room adjacent the entrance hall, then the main hall area which is a split sitting room divided into two almost equal parts by a floor to ceiling fireplace featuring a log burner.

To the rear of the main sitting area is the kitchen/breakfast room with cloakroom and walk-in pantry/store cupboard. Decorated and fitted with units that are in keeping with the period and style of the home.

To the right of the main entrance hall is the utility and storage room, cloakroom and door to the triple garage with secure roller doors.

Completing the accommodation attached to the garaging is a single storey outbuilding currently used as an home office. This home office could have many uses including hobby room or studio, cinema room, children’s den or, with some modification and planning approval, a potential annexe.

Externally

To the front of the home is a shingle driveway providing parking for several vehicles. To the rear of the driveway is the formal south east facing mature garden, mainly laid to lawn, which is bordered with shrubs and hedges, giving privacy and security. To the rear is a generous west facing patio area to relax in the summer months, entertaining and perfect for al fresco dining and barbeques.

HISTORY AND APPEAL

The original building would have been part of the collection of outbuildings of the neighbouring Brick House farmhouse. Careful consideration and planning was taken to ensure that once converted into a separate residential home that privacy was maintained between the two homes as much as possible but the benefit of the neighbours is the added security, non intrusive but on hand should they need to be.

Converted in 2000 and winning the Maldon District Conservation and Design Award, the original high quality finish and build is evident in the quality that still endures some 24 years later Other than the original owners who developed this home, our vendors are only homeowners, having lived in and enjoyed this lovely home since 2001
