Description
The house, which is known as "The Limes", is approached over a spacious and welcoming reception hall with access to the cloakroom and doors into the large dual-aspect living room - a well proportioned room with access to the rear and views over the gardens and the Roding Valley beyond. Pride of place goes to the kitchen/family room which has been designed with a full height sliding glass wall providing panoramic views over the grounds and the valley. The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary units and includes a range of Smeg integrated ovens, Bora twin-touch hob, two dishwashers, integrated double fridge/freezer, two wine coolers and the whole room has underfloor heating. Adjoining is another room featuring a glass sliding wall, an ideal room for a gym or games room - again designed to take advantage of the views to the rear. Beyond is a utility room and second cloakroom.
On the first floor there are five bedrooms, the principal bedroom is dual-aspect enjoying panoramic views and featuring an en suite shower room. The remainder of the bedrooms are serviced by a large family bath/shower room.
Outside
The house is approached through a set of wrought-iron double gates in to a substantial block-paved drive providing off-street parking for many vehicles, which in turn gives access to the attached double garage.
To the rear of the house, which is south-facing, is a substantial stone terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and elevated over the lawned gardens, enjoying some of the finest views in west Essex. The remainder of the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with established hedgerows and include a garden cabin at the far boundary.
