Hatleys, which dates back to 1543, is a Grade II Listed, thatched property and includes features considered to be of architectural and historical merit. It is a substantial timber framed house with plastered elevations, set back from an idyllic, quiet lane. Well-maintained throughout, Hatleys has been in the same family since 1934. Whilst retaining many of the period features one would expect from a property of this age, including timbered rooms and open fireplaces, the property benefits from a fast (fibre optic direct to the property) broadband connection and the roof was fully re-thatched in 2022.
The property consists of two floors, linked by a staircase at each end of the house. The ground floor consists of a dual aspect, beamed drawing room with an inglenook open fireplace and a connected dining room. There is a shower room, a hallway with a built in shoe cupboard, a family room with a Clearview wood burner set in a second inglenook fireplace and a second dining room. The kitchen has an oil-fired Aga, butler sink, integrated dishwasher,tiled flooring and a staircase to the first floor. In addition, there is a lobby containing a larder plus an airing cupboard housing the oil-fired boiler and plumbing for a washing machine. The back door entrance provides space for a fridge/freezer and leads to a cloakroom as well as a stable door to an east-facing terrace.
On the first floor, there is a landing with loft access and doors to the five bedrooms. Four bedrooms have views to the front. The dual aspect main bedroom lies at the back of the house and has views over the rear gardens.
Outside, a sweeping driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles to the rear of the house. There is a double bay cart lodge with an adjoining closed garage, currently used as a gym. Furthermore, there is a detached, thatched outbuilding providing storage including a woodshed.
The easily-maintained garden is mainly laid to lawn, with trees, shrubs and fruit trees and there is a self-sustaining woodland at the bottom of the garden, providing an opportunity for private forest bathing. In all, the plot amounts to approximately 2.5 acres.
This family house is located in tranquil surroundings, in the quiet hamlet of Mole Hill Green. As well as its own woodland, the location offers the opportunity for quiet walks around fields or bicycle rides along the lanes. Despite the property’s rural location, it is only a seven minute drive to the village of Felsted. Felsted is noted for its primary, prep and public schools. The village offers a good range of facilities including a general store and Post Office, public houses, several restaurants and a Parish Church. Within
a reasonable distance there is the village of Great Dunmow only 8 miles away and the city of Chelmsford just 10 miles away. There is convenient access to Stansted Airport (19 miles) and also the M11. There are mainline
railway stations at Chelmsford, Braintree, Stansted Airport and Bishop’s Stortford, with a 40 minute journey time from Chelmsford to London
