House For Sale £1,200,000
Set in approximately 4.5 acres (sts) of outstanding countryside in the Tendring Peninsula, this unique, mid-century family home offers accommodation comprising three reception rooms, kitchen / breakfast room, utility rooms, pantry, games room, five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The property also benefits from a double garage, off-road parking, tennis court and gardens.
Set back from the road and benefitting from its semi-rural position in the north Essex countryside, this substantial bungalow offers spacious, flexible accommodation in approximately 4.5 acres (subject to survey).
The property is approached from Parsons Hill via private electric gates which lead the visitor up the driveway towards the house itself.
A paved pedestrian path leads to the fully glazed entrance door and into the entrance hall.
The hallway provides plenty of space in which to greet guests before moving through to the main living accommodation. From the hall, a rich wooden floor flows through to the main reception rooms.
For those who enjoy formal dining, the dining room provides a dedicated place for a large dining table where those seated can enjoy views through a wide picture window of the garden and fields beyond.
The living room upholds the architectural integrity of this mid-20th century property, with its vaulted ceiling, clad in rich Canadian maple, creating drama and interest, whilst wide picture windows frame the glorious outdoors. An open fire adds internal warmth and helps to create a cosy atmosphere during the cooler months. From the living room, a wide opening leads to a glazed passageway, with doors opening onto a central courtyard - an ideal place for alfresco dining during the warmer months.
The kitchen / breakfast room is presented in warm shaker style with a large central island providing additional storage and an area for food preparation. This room is further enhanced by a ceiling lantern, adding additional natural light to this 'cook's' kitchen.
The potential flexibility of accommodation in this property is second to none, with a plethora of bedrooms and bathrooms helping to create ease of living for a large family, multi-generational family or perhaps - with the ability to create a self-contained annex - those who might want to help a teenager with independent living.
Although the house was originally built in 1968, there have been later additions, notably a first floor - accessed via a solid wood, spiral staircase - enjoying countryside views and currently used as a hobby room.
Benefitting from glorious grounds of approximately 4.5 acres (sts) which commence with a delightful courtyard - with ornamental pond. The acreage is outlined by a deciduous treeline and is made up of rich grasslands, mature shrubs and trees. The gardens also include a tennis court, formal garden and a large barn.<br /><br />
