The kitchen/family room and utility room benefit from quality underfloor heated limestone flooring. The kitchen provides a generous central island with sink unit and breakfast bar also benefitting from a “Billi” system providing filtered, chilled and instant boiling water. A further double sink sits below the generous front window with sliding bin drawer below. The De Dietrich appliances include a six-ring induction hob, combi microwave above a double main oven and further single oven below. There is an integrated full-size fridge and separate freezer and an extensive range of high-end bespoke wall and base units. Humphrey Munson also fitted the adjoining utility room. The kitchen is further served by a walk-in pantry with wine fridge. Beyond the utility room is an adjoining wet room/cloakroom and further separate plant room/boot room which open to the rear patio. The plant room provides the hot water return system that serves the six shower rooms. An air source heat pump system connects to the low loss header tank which distributes space heating through seven circuits. There is also internal access into the immaculate double garage with sensor lighting and two electric doors to the driveway. Further pedestrian access opens from the garage to the side of the house.

To the first floor there are six bedrooms, five of which are good size doubles and all benefit from an ensuite shower or bathrooms with electric underfloor heating and towel rails. Bedroom six/nursery is the only bedroom that does not benefit from ensuite facility and looks out onto the front of the house and the Chelmer valley beyond. Of particular note the principal suite has stained pine flooring and a wonderful double aspect of the east and south gardens, air conditioning and a beautiful ensuite bathroom with corner jacuzzi bath, his and hers sinks and double length shower. The principal suite is served by a generous walk in dressing room. Bedroom two runs the entire length of the west wing, with double doors opening to a Juliette balcony, solid pine flooring, eaves storage and another ensuite shower room. There is a further walk-in wardrobe and space for a potential second ensuite shower room if the room was split into two bedrooms. This could easily be achieved if required. Bedrooms three and four are also generous doubles and are located on the opposite wing to the east, again both benefitting from ensuite shower rooms. Bedroom four looks onto the rear gardens with bedroom three enjoying lovely views to the front via a generous bay window. Bedroom five also looks onto the front via a delightful oriel window and benefits from an ensuite bathroom and Victorian style fireplace. Similarly to the ground floor living space, the first-floor bedrooms are all flooded with natural sunlight and like the principal receptions below, all benefit from stunning views to the front and or rear.

It is important to note that The Brewers House enjoys an extremely modern flow of family living space over two floors which benefits from an abundance of smart technology (listed below) yet still retains all of the charm and features of the ever popular Edwardian era.
