Beautifully presented modern country house in the commuter belt.
Description
Combining exceptional build quality, traditional design, modern comforts and rural views, this outstanding home represents a rare opportunity in a highly sought-after location in the commuter belt.
On the ground floor, the thoughtfully configured accommodation flows from an impressive reception hall featuring high ceilings, a notable feature in the principal reception rooms and an attractive staircase rising to a galleried landing. The kitchen/living/family room forms the centrepiece to the house - a fabulous light-filled area, overlooking the gardens with access onto terraces. The kitchen, fitted by Clive Christian, is hand painted and provides extensive storage, integrated appliances and stone-topped contrasting worktops, wrapped around a large island with seating area. The family area is a thoughtful extension to the house with bifold doors and roof lantern. From here is access into a large, fitted utility room. At the opposite end of the house a spacious sitting room extends the full depth of the house, with double doors at the rear onto the garden terrace, finished with ‘on trend’ colours and featuring high ceilings, deep windows and a fireplace. On the other side of the entrance hall is a separate dining room overlooking the front gardens - a sizeable and versatile space.
The first floor has an impressive galleried landing which overlooks the front gardens. There are four bedrooms on this floor. The principal bedroom, at the rear of the house, has fantastic views over the adjoining countryside, there are fitted wardrobes and a highly appointed en suite bath and shower room. There is a family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.
The second-floor suite has a double bedroom and en suite shower room with access to a large eves storage cupboard.
Outside
The house is very well screened from the road and approached through electric gates into a broad gravel drive which leads to a detached triple garage – approx. 36’ x 20’ with a loft area over. Adjoining is an all-weather sports area which sits next to a large area of lawn with a box hedge feature. The rear gardens enjoy a southerly aspect, mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging and trees. Immediately behind the house is a raised full-width terrace with direct access from the kitchen and sitting room, making for a lovely private area for al fresco dining.
In all about 0.66 acres.
Services
Mains water and electricity, modern private drainage, oil -fired central heating.

Blackmore village: 1 mile; Ingatestone village: 3 miles (rail station to London); A12 (J12): 3.3 miles; Shenfield: 5 miles (rail station on the Elizabeth line); Chelmsford city: 10 miles. All distances approximate.
