Discover the charm of rural living with modern comforts at this exquisite four bedroom detached period, nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Stones Green, North Essex. Situated on Colchester Road, this property is a jewel set within a generous 1.25-acre plot, offering 1696 sq feet of living space that harmoniously blends with an additional 1107 sq feet of stables / outbuildings.
As you enter this extended residence, you are greeted by a character-rich living room, boasting a triple aspect view, a full-height red brick fireplace, and exposed beam work that adds to its rustic charm. The heart of the house is the superbly appointed kitchen, featuring oak units, an AGA, and Neff induction hob, all set under a travertine rock tiled floor. This area seamlessly opens into a vaulted dining room, part of a late 1990s extension, offering stunning views of the adjacent farmland through its bi-folding doors. The property also includes a practical utility room and an office that echoes the character of the living room with its dual aspect windows and red brick fireplace.

The family bathroom is stylishly appointed, featuring wood-panelled walls and modern fittings, all complemented by an elevated view of the countryside.
Outdoor spaces are equally impressive.

The property’s frontage includes a block-paved driveway leading to a detached double garage, secured by wrought iron rail fencing with gates and sleeper retained flower borders.
Across the road lies the majority of the 1.25-acre plot, suitable for a variety of uses, with two stables and ample space for gardening or recreational activities.
Eco-friendly features include solar panels with a 25-year FIT contract from 2011 and an external oil boiler updated in 2015. Parking is exceptional, with a double garage and additional off-road parking spaces, ensuring ample room for vehicles.
