House For Sale £825,000
A beautifully presented country cottage with farmland views on the edge of this charming north Essex village.
Description
With Victorian origins, Oakdene is an attractive four bedroom detached family home that was remodelled in 2018 to a high standard with a contemporary design, providing light-filled accommodation, perfect for family living and entertaining.
The property occupies a glorious semi-rural setting on the edge of Pebmarsh village, nestled on the Essex/Suffolk borders, enjoying a generous plot and a range of useful outbuildings.
Oakdene is approached through an entrance lobby opening to the main reception room, which is a comfortable room with west-facing views over its country lane setting. This relaxing room has a wood burner on a brick hearth that provides a focal point, and stairs that rise to the first floor. A part-glazed oak door accesses the study, which is a useful addition and an ideal space for working from home, with access to the garden.
The kitchen/dining/family room is a wonderful space, forming part of the extension, with an open plan design and being the heart of the home. The kitchen has been fitted with a rage of painted wall and floor-mounted units, with oak blockwork surfaces, with a range of integrated appliances including a Smeg oven, a hob, an extractor fan, a dishwasher, a washing machine and a tumble dryer. There is a large central island unit making the layout perfect for family entertaining. The room benefits from a triple aspect and has bi-fold doors to the rear which opens to an extensive sandstone terrace. Concluding the ground floor accommodation is a cloakroom.
The first floor is equally as charming, with all of the rooms orientated making the most of the property’s stunning setting. The principal bedroom is situated to the rear and has a dual aspect, a part-vaulted ceiling and a luxury en suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms which are generously proportioned. These are served by a family bathroom.
The property is approached through an electric-gated drive providing extensive parking, with post and rail fencing either side. There is a small front garden with mixed native hedging and a path leading to the front door. There are areas of lawn either side with neatly planted borders and an impressive oak tree to the southern aspect. The rear garden is a delightful and private space providing a wonderful extension to this charming property. The garden commences a sandstone terrace which wraps round the side of the house, providing an ideal area for entertaining. There is a red-brick wall separating an expanse of lawn, retained by post and rail fencing to the field edge. To the side of the house is a small vegetable garden and a timber-framed summerhouse with double-glazed bifold windows and power and lighting.
Outside
Oakdene benefits from superb outbuildings which include a bespoke triple garage/workshop which has electric roller shutter doors, is fully alarmed and has been constructed under a slate roof and weatherboarded elevations. It is the perfect space for a car enthusiast or would readily convert to a studio/annexe, subject to the necessary consents. In addition, there is a two-bay cart lodge with electric roller doors and a log store to the side.
