Description
Brook Cottage
A modern country house designed to take advantage of it beautiful surroundings, utilising deep glazing to capture the lovely views. The ground floor has a largely open-plan design centred around a bespoke kitchen.
An entrance door flanked by deep glazing opens into a spacious hall finished with a herringbone parquet floor. Stairs rise to the first floor and an opening to the right leads into a light-filled sitting room, again finished with a parquet floor and including fitted furniture.

Open plan to the kitchen is a dining and sitting area which enjoy lovely views over the gardens and farmland through deep glazed sliding doors. The two rooms are partially separated by a central pillar incorporating a log burner.
The first floor has four bedrooms, all enjoying lovely views and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom has a high vaulted ceiling, tall sliding glass doors, fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. The second floor, approached over a small staircase, provides an occasional room.
Cottage

The ground floor has two reception rooms featuring exposed trusses and studwork, with the sitting room having an open fireplace. A fitted galley-style kitchen/dining room is fitted with colour-washed units with contrasting granite tops. A modern ground floor bathroom has a three-piece-suite and shower. There are four first floor bedrooms, all enjoying rural views.
Outside
The house and cottage are approached over a long drive passing through the properties' land. Adjacent to the house is a detached garage block (temporarily converted to an 'annexe' – bedroom, en suite, games room and utility room with storage behind). There are two potential paddocks either side of the drive, one with frontage to Stanford brook. Gardens and grounds surround the house and cottage, with a scattering of mature trees, vegetable beds and greenhouse. Wrapping around the house is a deck, designed for al fresco dining in the warmer months.
In all about 2.05 acres
Location
Brook Cottage occupies a completely rural situation about a mile to the north of Stanford Rivers and some two miles to the south west of the market town of Chipping Ongar. There is access to the M11 at Hastingwood (Junction 7) and the London Underground Central Line at Epping. The area is well served by schools in both the public and private sector, notably Chigwell School, The Forest, Bancrofts and Brentwood School and in the other direction, Bishops Stortford College, Felsted and New Hall.
Brook Cottage was constructed in the mid 1990s and subsequently extended and modernised over the past 10 years, situated on high ground enjoying views over its grounds and adjoining farmland. Within the grounds, adjoining Stanford brook, is a detached four bedroom listed cottage. The property is approached over a long drive of about 280 ft to a parking area in front of the house, garage/'annexe' and cottage.

Acreage: 2.05 Acres
