4 bedroom detached house

LOCATED ON A MOST PRIVATE PLOT OF TWO THIRDS OF AN ACRE is this exceptional character residence. Having undergone numerous improvements is recent years, this property is now presented to a very high order and still retains many period features one would expect. Accommodation totals just under 2,000 square feet and includes four bedrooms and two high specification fitted bathrooms. The master bedroom is an unusual and exciting split level design and includes a full range of fitted wardrobes. On the ground floor there is an entrance porch, three large reception rooms, kitchen and a cloakroom. Features include exposed timbers and red brick fireplaces and exposed walls.

Externally, the property is set back from the road and affords plenty of parking along with a southerly facing rear garden with an open aspect. In the garden is a most fantastic pegola building housing a top of the range Grillo outdoor kitchen. There is also a large building, originally the forge, which lends itself to a variety of uses including an annexe, home office or gym/games room. Planning permission has been granted for a large ground floor extension, please agents notes below. EPC exempt.

The Old Forge is a grade two listed home set back and screened from the road by mature hedging. As previously mentioned the property in recent years has undergone extensive improvements. The kitchen and bathrooms have been completely re-modelled. The central heating boiler is approximately 3 years old along with a new pressurised water cylinder. All radiators have been replaced many with Victorian style.

Externally, the Forge building offers a variety of possible uses. Planning permission was granted in December 2019 for full conversion to a self-contained annexe which included an extension. This permission has recently lapsed, however, we see no reason why this wouldn't be re-newed by Maldon District Council. Any interested party would need to make their own enquiries.

Planning permission has also been granted for a large single storey rear extension. This would provide a kitchen, dining and family area internally of about 42.5 square metres.
