What we say at the Zoe Napier Group This generously sized rural home oozes peace and tranquillity with beautifully screened private gardens and stunning views over open countryside. Ideal for lovers of an outdoor lifestyle, the property also benefits from being located less than a 25 minute drive from three mainline railway stations, all providing excellent commuting links to London and Stansted Airport.
What the owners say Our lovely home has served us so well, providing a secluded and relaxing rural haven, yet permitting a career working in London. We just love the open meadow surroundings and all the birdlife and wildlife that come to visit us. Our garden with its delightful views is perfect for tranquil relaxation or entertaining friends and family.
History and background This former rectory, built on Little Sampford glebe land in 1968, is an excellent, well-built, four double bedroom detached family home, rurally situated on a plot of 0.6 acre(stls) and benefiting from convenient access to London.
The vendors have owned the property since 1999, and this is only the second time that it has been on the market.
Surrounded by open countryside, the reception and bedrooms to the rear of the property all enjoy superb views over the gardens towards open meadowland that delightfully undulates towards the River Pant.
The front and rear gardens contain a wide array of trees and mature shrubs that beautifully present the property. Due to the countryside setting, the gardens and natural surroundings host a diverse range of birdlife that includes Red Kites, Buzzards, Woodpeckers, Nuthatches and Goldfinches.
Location, location, location is the key, and this property ticks the box with its secluded rural environment, stunning countryside views and convenient access to rail links to London.
Setting and location Enjoying an impressive frontage and set back from the country road, this delightful home is situated less than a mile from the village of Great Sampford and is 3 miles from Finchingfield, a quintessential English village. The historic town of Thaxted is less than 10 minutes away, and the popular market town of Saffron Walden is less than 20 minutes away.
Great Sampford offers a highly regarded primary school with village hall, a cricket ground and play area, and the popular Red Lion Inn and Italian Restaurant. More extensive amenities are available in the picturesque neighbouring towns of Thaxted, Saffron Walden and Great Dunmow.
The area is extremely popular for open countryside walking and offers a superb rural and outdoor lifestyle. However, being so close to three key market towns, it benefits from convenient access to all necessary amenities, with the bonus of a choice of three railway stations to meet any commuting needs to London and Cambridge, as well as Stansted Airport.
