5 bedroom detached house for sale

Occupying a commanding position in St John's Crescent, Stansted Mountfitchet, this five-bedroom detached residence offers a rare combination of privacy and village convenience. Having been a cherished family home for nearly three decades, the property has been sensitively extended to provide balanced accommodation across two floors, with a particular emphasis on natural light and garden integration.

The Ground Floor

The reception space is thoughtfully arranged for modern life, with a suite of three versatile rooms offering excellent flexibility. At the heart of the home lies the kitchen-breakfast room, which transitions seamlessly into a spacious and airy conservatory, perfectly positioned to capture the morning light. The principal reception room opens onto a sun-trap, south-facing decked terrace via French windows, creating a natural extension of the living space. Meanwhile, the comfortable second reception enjoys a double aspect and is ideal for use as a snug or playroom, complemented by a good-sized separate study for home working.

The First Floor & Potential to Extend, Subject to Planning

The first floor comprises five well-appointed bedrooms and two bathrooms, configured to suit a growing family. Of particular note is the inherent potential of the plot; the generous width of the property suggests significant scope for further architectural enhancement. Subject to the necessary consents, there is a clear opportunity to integrate a double garage with additional living accommodation above, further elevating the home's footprint.

Gardens & Exterior

The property is set back from the private road, with a driveway providing ample parking and access to the garage. The rear garden enjoys a high degree of seclusion and features mature shrubs, raised beds and a seating area. There is plenty of scope for further landscaping as the garden is currently low-maintenance, with mature hedging, shrubs, and trees enclosing the level lawn. The exterior serves as an attractive private sanctuary—a find that is increasingly rare for such a central location.

Location & Connectivity

St. Johns Crescent remains one of the area’s premier addresses, prized for its quietude and sense of community. Despite its tranquil setting, the property is within comfortable walking distance of Stansted Mountfitchet’s diverse amenities. For the commuter, the mainline station provides regular, direct services to London Liverpool Street and Cambridge, offering an ideal balance for those seeking a village lifestyle without compromising on connectivity.
