Althorne
What we think at the Zoe Napier Group
This wonderful home oozes charm and character, blending old with new. Ideal for a young growing family with the possibility of multi-generational living. The semi-rural location and proximity to Maldon and Burnham-on Crouch will appeal to maritime enthusiasts and the nearby train station allows an easy commute to London.
What the owner says
We have enjoyed many long summer days relaxing around the pool entertaining friends and family in our lovely secluded garden. Our delightful home offers spacious family living both inside and out. Due to our children flying the nest, it’s now time for us to move on and let some other lucky family enjoy this beautiful home.
History & Background
A traditional period farmhouse with immense character set within splendid 0.5 of an acre ground overlooking farmland. The house offers both attractive external elevations together with a great internal ambience which comes alive throughout the seasons; having landscaped and private gardens with an outdoor heated swimming pool, numerous doors which lead out onto extensive terrace areas during the summer months and mature grounds which display a beautiful array of autumnal colour. Internally there is an aga in the kitchen/breakfast room, cosy wood burners and an inviting entrance hall/snug which is just the perfect place for a Christmas tree during the festive season. The vast and well-designed improvements allow space for great family living which includes two en-suite bedrooms, five reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room and the possibilities to create separate ground floor secondary/annexe accommodation from the additional side entrance door, if required.
Setting & Location
The farmhouse, originally with a moat, is situated on the Burnham Road (B1010) within the village (with residential neighbouring properties) having the advantages of being within walking distance from the thriving village pub (The Three horseshoes) and located about 1 mile from the station for rail access to London’s Liverpool Street. Directly opposite is a private lane which continues onto a footpath directly down to the River Crouch where there are stunning views. From the upstairs master suite distant views can also be enjoyed across to the Blackwater estuary; an ideal location for sailing enthusiasts too, being just 3.5 miles from Burnham on Crouch and closer still to marinas in Althorne and North Fambridge.
The village is surrounded mainly by arable farmland and the Crouch estuary to the south, being accessible for commuters and relatively close to main towns and villages such as South Woodham Ferrers (7 miles), Maldon (8 miles), Danbury (12 miles) and Chelmsford (19 miles).
Services
All mains services connected (gas, water, drainage and electricity)
A solar thermal panel system contributes to the hot water supply.
The swimming pool is independently heated by a modern calorex heat pump system.
