Period house dating from 1908 in a popular village, close to Ongar.
Description
Located at the centre of Fyfield village, a beautifully presented period house dating from 1908 and more recently modernised, in keeping with the property’s origins. The house is located on an elevated site and has a good size 'L' shaped plot with a double garage and workshop.
A fine reception hall with a sweeping staircase rises to a part-galleried landing. The hall is further enhanced by oak flooring, which flows seamlessly through the principal rooms. Elegant wide sliding doors open into the dining room. This room has two deep box-bay windows, complete with diamond-leaded panes and a fireplace with an open flue and marble hearth.
The sitting room, also with polished oak flooring, is generously proportioned and anchored by a luxury Chesneys of London fireplace providing a centrepiece to the room. Double doors lead through to a double-glazed, period-style conservatory with travertine flooring, and direct access to the terraces beyond.
The kitchen/breakfast room showcases ‘Designed for Life’ Harvey Jones cabinetry, crafted from solid tulipwood and finished in an ‘on trend’ period colour beneath solid granite worktops. A feature island, double pantry cupboard, integrated dishwasher and stainless-steel Stoves range oven complement this stylish and practical space. The American-style fridge freezer will remain. Travertine flooring adds elegance and practicality, with ample space for a breakfast table. There is also a walk-in larder, a separate utility room housing a newly installed 2024 boiler and a conveniently located cloakroom/WC off the hall.
The spacious first-floor landing leads to a further staircase ascending to the second floor, with attractive white period-style internal doors and a large airing cupboard. In total, there are five double bedrooms, including two on the top floor. A first floor bedroom benefits from a dual aspect and an elegant en suite bathroom featuring a luxurious Aqualisa power shower over the bath. A second principal bedroom at the front of the house boasts a deep box bay window, a traditional washstand and built-in wardrobes. A third bedroom, currently used as a study, opens onto a delightful viewing balcony via double Juliet doors. The main family bathroom is fitted by The Imperial Bathroom Company, complemented by Victorian-style wall tiles and slate flooring. It offers both a bath and a separate walk-in Aqualisa power shower.
The top floor landing provides access to a large eaves loft space, ideal for storage. There are two further spacious double bedrooms, each with double-glazed windows.
Outside
The drive, shared with an adjoining neighbour, leads to a parking area in front of the double garage. The gardens wrap around the house with established borders providing a great deal of privacy. Immediately behind the house with access from the kitchen and conservatory, is a large terrace, a lovely space for al fresco dining in the summer months. The terrace has an in-ground garden pond, island beds and merges with a large expanse of lawns to the side and front of the house.
Services
Mains water, gas and electricity. Mains drainage.
