Description
Gilbert Hunts is a Grade II listed home in good condition throughout, set in a semi-rural location on about 0.5 of an acre boasting lovely far-reaching views and a substantial detached two-storey barn.
A beautifully proportioned and characterful detached period home, offering well-balanced accommodation across two floors, complemented by a substantial range of outbuildings that provide exceptional versatility. The property is ideally suited to those seeking a combination of comfortable family living and generous ancillary space, whether for business use, hobbies or home working.
The ground floor accommodation comprises an impressive sitting room, adjoining a well-sized dining room, which connects naturally to the kitchen, creating a practical and sociable flow for everyday living. The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged and enjoys direct access to the rear of the property. A garden room extends the living accommodation further and offers a pleasant westerly outlook. Completing the ground floor is a useful utility room and cloakroom.
On the first floor, the accommodation is arranged around a central landing and comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double with ample space for storage, while bedrooms two and three are both generous rooms, all served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Outside
The property is centrally located within its plot of about 0.5 of an acre and is accessed via an electric, five-bar gate leading to a private driveway. The gardens are beautifully presented with an established boundary boasting mature trees and shrubs.
A particular highlight of the property is the detached two-storey barn. The workshop and garage provide substantial ground floor space, ideal for storage, vehicle housing or commercial use, while the additional workshop area further enhances flexibility. Above, the first floor offers a large loft room and a separate office, creating excellent potential for a home office suite, studio or ancillary accommodation, subject to the usual consents. Other outbuildings include a summerhouse, a garden store shed and greenhouse.
Services
Mains water and electricity. Private drainage (compliant Klargester system).
Location
A12 (junction 17): 1.9 miles (Park & Ride at junction 18), Chelmsford station: 5.3 miles (London Liverpool Street from 34 mins), M25 (junction 28): 15.8 miles. All distances approximate.
Gilbert Hunts sits on Butts Green Road, which is a pretty country lane between Sandon and Howe Green. Sandon is a small village in between Danbury and Chelmsford and is best known for its pub (The Crown), situated on the village green opposite St. Andrew’s church and its secondary school, The Sandon School. The nearby village of Danbury boasts a good range of shops, amenities and two Preparatory Schools (Heathcote in Danbury itself and Elm Green in Little Baddow). The villages are surrounded by a wealth of National Trust wood and heath land, including the historic landscape of Danbury Park (a former medieval deer park) but lie only just east of the city of Chelmsford and its excellent choice of facilities, including two outstanding grammar schools, a bustling shopping centre, a station on the main line into London Liverpool Street and access onto the A12.
