About this property

A characterful Un-listed detached Victorian residence in an idyllic tucked away location with sensational views over undulating countryside

History & Background

This attractive un-listed residence is believed to date back in parts to the 19th Century with later additions and is bursting with an abundance of charm and character, incorporating a plethora of exposed timbers and fireplaces. Approximately ten years ago the current owners undertook an extensive refurbishment programme, cleverly blending the majestic period features that the property possesses with a more contemporary modern feel.

The sumptuous, secluded grounds are a particular feature extending to 0.16 acres (stls) and incorporate a useful spacious workshop and adjoining car port that could quite conceivably be utilised as a home office, gym or self-contained annexe (subject to the necessary consents).

Setting & Location

The property is situated at the end of elongated private road behind wrought iron gates and sits centrally within it’s grounds, on the rural suburbs of Brentwood, located along Horseman Side, walking distance of Brentwood Golf Club and less than a mile from the renowned Alec’s restaurant in Navestock. For those with equestrian interests will find access into Weald Country Park off Coxtie Green Road. The park provides over 520 stunning acres with horse riding and cycle routes and there are further bridleways in the area. Brook Farm Equine Centre for clinics and shows is just 4.1 miles from the property.

Located approximately 5.4 miles from Brentwood town centre and just 4.6 miles from Shenfield Station for the Elizabeth Line, the property is well placed for convenient access into London as well as for the major road links M25 and M11. Epping Station for the Central Line is 9.3 miles away.

Ground Floor Accommodation

An elegant front door adjoins the entrance porch, a useful space for coats and shoes and seamlessly flows into the mightily impressive sitting/ family room, a bright and airy triple aspect room that is believed to have formerly been two separate rooms that have cleverly been amalgamated into one vast space and boasts an array of exposed timbers and two fireplaces offering a wonderful sanctuary to curl up in front of during the cold Winter months!  The generous high specification kitchen/ dining room is situated in the rear elevation of the property, a generous room with a plethora of white gloss base and eye level units complemented by quartz work tops over, built in AGA, exquisite recessed seating area with ceiling lantern, sumptuous bi-fold doors framing sensational views over farmland and opening out onto the sun terrace, the perfect space for al fresco dining ! The adjacent family bathroom boasts a luxury four-piece suite including a wonderful free standing Victorian style roll top bath with claw feet, separate shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin.

First Floor Accommodation

A staircase curves around from the sitting/ family room to the first-floor where the galleried landing offers splendid views. The principal bedroom is situated in the West wing, a generous dual aspect, double bedroom with en suite shower room, whilst the second bedroom enjoys an impressive range of built wardrobe cupboards and is complemented by the third bedroom that is currently utilised as a dressing room.

Grounds, Workshop & Cart Lodge

As you approach the property you are greeted by elegant wrought iron gates that lead to an extensive shingle driveway offering off street parking for several vehicles. The adjacent double cart lodge and adjoining spacious workshop offer a generous footprint that has boasts enormous potential to convert into a self-contained annexe, gym and work from home office (subject to the necessary consent).

The rear grounds are accessible via a gated access, mostly laid to lawn with mature flower and shrub borders, beautiful secluded, screened via a range of mature trees and hedging and enjoy some sensational views over the surrounding countryside.
