House For Sale £1,550,000
Intercounty is delighted to present this exceptional home with extensive grounds in the centre of the sought-after village of Great Bardfield.
The beautifully presented home with an impressive 3800 ft2 of accommodation, comprises four well-proportioned reception rooms, five spacious double bedrooms, a study and kitchen/diner with walk-in larder. Adjacent to the house is a self-contained annexe. Plentiful parking and a double cart lodge sit behind an oak remote-controlled gate. Overall, the property extends to approximately 1.8 acres.
The historically important late 14c building has a Grade II* listing. A blue plaque next to the Georgian front door acknowledges previous residents William Bendelowes and renowned artist John Aldridge ra. Many period features enrich the residence, including stained glass, leaded light windows, dragon beams and stunning oak panelling. However, the high ceilings, sensitive modernisation and thoughtful layout bring a feeling of space and the comfortable flow of contemporary living to this substantial family home.
The grand principal bedroom, in the oldest part of house, overlooks the garden and woodland beyond. A dual-aspect bathroom completes the main bedroom suite. Another highlight of the house is the triple-aspect sitting room with its raised dining area and bay doors, making it perfect for entertaining year-round. This room contains one of three log burners to be found throughout the ground floor. The hub of the home is the kitchen/diner and snug, with its vaulted ceilings and direct access via bifold doors to the sunny patio.
The house opens onto four generous tiers of terrace, ideal for entertaining and enjoying the private, South facing garden. The formal gardens, which slope downwards away from the house, are principally laid to lawn. Beyond the lawn area stands a range of mature trees, including an orchard. The garden is bordered to the West by a high flint wall and pretty brook along which winds a path to explore. There is a secluded cob-nut walk that is carpeted in snowdrops each Spring and wild garlic thereafter. An established kitchen garden with raised beds provides fruit and vegetables year-round. EPC Exempt.
The house is well placed in the centre of Great Bardfield, a vibrant village with two pubs, a coffee shop, primary school, co-op, hairdresser, bookshop and butcher as well as numerous active and welcoming societies and clubs. The village is conveniently situated for travel to London, Cambridge, Colchester or Chelmsford as well as being within easy reach of Stansted Airport.
