RIVERSIDE is a Grade II Listed detached period home situated in this historic location amongst other similar properties and former windmill just a short distance from Finchingfield’s picturesque village centre, with its green areas and well-known duck pond. The property contains many of the features associated with a building of this age including exposed beams and timbers, fireplaces and brick and timber floors. The front door opens into a reception hall, which is currently used as a small sitting room but could be adapted to serve a variety of purposes. The sitting room is a most attractive room with two windows to the front, exposed beams and timbers, fireplace and timber floor. A door leads into an adjoining dining room with windows to the side and glazed double doors to the rear, timber floor and fireplace. A stable door opens into the kitchen/breakfast room which contains a variety of storage cupboards, complemented by wooden worktops, space for appliances, Aga, useful larder, attractive brick floor and a part glazed door to the outside. A staircase rises from the reception hall which also has a door to a ground floor cloakroom. The first floor landing leads to four good sized bedrooms, the master having its own en suite bathroom with a free standing bath. In addition, there is a family shower room also accessed from the landing.
Outside, the property is set back from the road behind a lawned garden area which forms a broad ‘L’ shape extending along one side of the property and bordered by a low level iron fence. An adjacent driveway provides off-street parking for numerous vehicles and gives access to a timber framed garage/workshop which has a personal door to the rear garden. Agents note: The Neighbour has a pedestrian right of access over the driveway. The rear garden itself is well-enclosed and predominantly laid to lawn with a large block paved terrace providing ideal space for outside entertaining. There are useful storage sheds, bordered by flower beds stocked with a variety of plants and shrubs.
FINCHINGFIELD is one of the most attractive North West Essex villages with a village green and pond surrounded by a number of shops, restaurants, inns etc. Whilst there are village facilities, including a primary school and a Health Centre, the historic market towns of Saffron Walden (11 miles) and Great Dunmow (8 miles) offer more comprehensive amenities. The mainline station at Audley End (approx. 13 miles) provides a service to London (Liverpool Street). Bishop’s Stortford offers further amenities including access to the M11 motorway via Junction 8, giving road connections with London, M25, Cambridge and the Midlands.
