House For Sale £1,175,000
An instantly attractive and individual, architect-designed five-bedroom family home situated in a highly sought-after village.
What We Think at The Zoe Napier Group
Properties rarely become available within the village of Terling. It is not surprising why, as this village is unique and probably one of Essex’s most sought-after locations. The village is surrounded by Lord Rayleigh’s farming country estate, comprising beautiful scenic grasslands and arable land. The property has been competitively priced for the current market to attract early interest.
What the Owners Say
We felt so lucky when we were able to purchase this superb family home. For us, we have the best of all worlds. Just five minutes up the road is the A12 and Hatfield Peverel Station for London, yet we are far enough away to have no road noise from the A12 and for the village to be totally protected by Lord Rayleigh’s country estate. We are now in a position to upsize and have already found a suitable property.
History & Background
An instantly attractive and individual, architect-designed five-bedroom family home occupying a corner plot with a sun trap rear garden. The property was built approximately 18 years ago to an incredibly high specification whilst ensuring the layout provided every room with well-proportioned and bright accommodation, accompanied by a spacious hall and galleried landing.
The current owners have resided at the property for five years, having made various further improvements to provide a beautifully appointed home aligned with the 21st Century. This includes an electric charging station for electric vehicles, as well as underfloor heating in all the upstairs bathrooms. The property could easily suit either a family or those downsizing, where the size of rooms are uncompromised and further features include an AGA in the kitchen/breakfast room with a TV/play area and a beautiful sandstone fireplace in the lounge which houses a log burner.
It might be worth noting that the integral double garage could offer possibilities for additional, or annexe accommodation (stp) and the loft is extensively boarded out, where there is also scope to create additional top-floor accommodation (stp). Our clients did have plans drawn which are available but at the time, chose not to proceed to planning stages.
Setting & Location
The property occupies a corner plot on Fairstead Road, benefitting from being within walking distance of all the local amenities, while enjoying views over countryside, and a sports playing field.
Terling is a truly unique village, surrounded and protected by Lord Rayleigh’s farming estate, with an enriched community atmosphere. This is supported by Lord Rayleigh who has supplied the village with so many leisure activities including a Tennis Club, Swimming Pool, Cricket Field, Recreation Grounds, and stunning country walks around the area. The village also has a primary school, a children’s nursery, a shop, an historic church, and a village hall where there are clubs, societies, and activities for all tastes and ages.
The village is in an excellent spot for commuters, lying approximately 8 miles from Chelmsford City and just 2.4 miles from Hatfield Peverel Station for London’s Liverpool Street and the A12. The village is well placed for educational needs in either Colchester or Chelmsford cities where there are excellent Grammar & High Schools, and equally for private schools, such as Elm Green School in Little Baddow and New Hall in Boreham (the latter catering for all ages).
