House For Sale £1,295,000
Originating from the late 14th Century, The Borough is a beautifully presented Grade II* listed Tudor timber-framed farmhouse characterised by plastered elevations beneath a plain tiled roof.
The airy and generously proportioned living spaces emanate from the central reception hall, spanning two stories, offering superb family living arrangements. The characterful primary reception areas feature robust timber beams, with the drawing and sitting rooms benefiting from expansive brick inglenook fireplaces. The large dining room and library/study render the house well-suited for entertaining and family life. At the heart of the house is a spacious and well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room that seamlessly connects to the main living areas.
On the first floor, the bedrooms capture the essence of the reception rooms, offering an elegantly appointed principal bedroom suite with an additional four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The orientation and placement of the house allows fine views from many of the rooms.
Gardens and Grounds
The Borough is accessed via electric gates on to hard standing, offering ample parking for numerous vehicles and a triple garage with light and power. The property sits on well-tended grounds extending to around 1.16 acres, and despite its proximity to Thaxted, is surrounded by the beauty of rolling countryside. Extending from the terrace are tiered formal lawned gardens with mature shrub beds and entertaining areas shielded by various specimen trees. The grounds gently rise to less formal gardens and meadow.
