House For Sale £1,100,000
With a decorative red and grey-brick façade and distinctive chimney stacks, Salters Folly exhibits notable appeal in its semi-rural setting, with interiors offering the perfect blend of period characteristics and contemporary styling in a home ideally suited to modern lifestyles.
The sitting room features a corner fireplace with curved brick wall and rustic timber lintel creating a comfortable space in which to relax with the warming ambience of a woodburning stove. The adjoining formal dining room provides the ideal setting for hosting guests with a drawing room across the inner hallway offering an additional versatile-use reception area. Fitted with modern cabinetry topped with wood work surfaces, a green Aga and a Belfast sink, the kitchen showcases exposed beams and terracotta tiling to the floor.
Remarkable paintings on the staircase and landing wood panels depict a Bacchanalian procession. The first floor comprises three rooms, currently arranged as two bedrooms and a gym/work room. Bedroom two features a painted panel over the fireplace which is late C17 and is alleged to depict the Fire of London.
The family bathroom at this level features an iconic free-standing, clawfoot bath tub with shower over and attractive wall tiling. On the second floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a charming, tucked-away setting under the rafters with a stylish shower room adjacent.
Ancillary accommodation is provided in the Old Dairy which offers a kitchen/utility area with cloakroom, whilst a home-working office space adjoins the double garage. Full Planning consent was granted in 2014 to construct a garden room which would also create a link from the main house to the Old Dairy.
Maldon Planning have confirmed that they would look favourably to reinstate the original application. Full details of the planning are available to viewers.
A five-bar timber gate opens onto a gravelled driveway which extends to the timber outbuildings providing garaging, workshop and storage, along with an office. There are areas of garden to either side of the property, with a paved terrace linking the house and the Old Diary and extending to provide a large outdoor seating and relaxation area with timber pergola over and a hedging border of beech saplings.
Trellising with an archway leads through to a vegetable garden with raised beds and variety of fruit trees. On the opposite side of the grounds, a more naturalist garden features an expanse of lawn interspersed with specimen trees, along with a pond which provides a magnet for wildlife.
The village of Woodham Mortimer is situated in the Dengie Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Village amenities include a popular local public house - the Hurdlemakers Arms. A good range of shopping and leisure facilities can be found in the nearby historic town of Maldon, whilst the city of Chelmsford is within easy reach and provides a comprehensive range of facilities, including a shopping centre, three well-regarded prep schools and two outstanding grammar schools. Commuters have access to services at Chelmsford mainline train station which offers regular services into London Liverpool Street, Ipswich and Colchester, whilst road users are close to the A414, which links to A12 for access to the major road network.
