Description

A beautifully presented character family home.

Description

A beautifully presented five bedroom Grade II listed family home extending to 3,940 sq. ft internally. This house is situated over two floors and is filled with character features and charm throughout due to it being part Tudor and part Georgian. The ground floor comprises entrance hall, kitchen with spiral staircase leading to an annex bedroom with ensuite bathroom, dining room, sitting room, play room and family room (with underfloor heating) which leads onto a converted studio with two separate offices and a cloakroom. To the first floor of the property is a large central landing, principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom, three further bedrooms (one with en-suite bathroom) and further family bathroom.

Externally the house is set behind electric gates and approached by a private gravel drive which has ample parking. Close to the house is a large recently refurbished boot/storage room. The mature gardens wrap around the house and there are several feature gardens and seating areas to enjoy including a cottage style garden accessible from the kitchen and study doors and to the other side accessible from the family room is a gravel seating area with views of the garden. There is extensive lawned areas and mature trees and shrubs across the whole garden.

The small garage attached to the boot room is excluded from the tenancy.

Location

The small hamlet of Greensted has some beautiful countryside walks and bridleways and is famous for its timber church reputedly the oldest wooden church in England and the oldest “stave” built timber buildings in Europe. Nearby the old market town of Chipping Ongar has an excellent choice of local boutique shops, cafes and restaurants as well as some supermarkets. More extensive shopping facilities can be found at Epping, Chelmsford and Brentwood.

For the commuter, the house is within easy reach of the London Underground at Epping (approx. 6.4 miles) and the M11 (junction 7) at Harlow, both of which provide good access to London and Canary Wharf.
