" One of an enclave of high specification contemporary homes in this delightful village this ideal family home offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms and three reception rooms including a family room open plan to the large kitchen. All bathrooms and kitchen have been recently refurbished with designer fittings. L shaped gardens provide all day sun spots. There ample off road parking and a double garage. Easy access to Chelmsford main line station, A12 and Stansted.

The approach to the property is a broad block paviour driveway from the road which gives access to the double garage and will provide off road parking for up to three vehicles plus two in the garages. The front garden is composed of slate chipping beds, bound by wrought iron railings. A short block paviour path leads up to the Georgian style front door which is surrounded by white fluted pilasters and topped with a canopy.

Entrance Hall
Stepping into the entrance hall all the main ground floor areas are accessible via white paneled doors and the staircase dog legs up to the landing bound by white turned spindles. The flooring in the hallway is oak plank and it extends through much of the ground floor. A doorway at the foot of the stairs leads into the cloakroom.

Cloakroom
The oak flooring extends into this area and it is equipped with a very contemporary suite comprising a concealed flush low level W.C. and a circular wash hand basin inset to a tiled area. There is a white ladder rack heated towel rail and a cloaks cupboard.

Dining Room
Crossing over the entrance hall we come into the dining room. This is a well proportioned room, wider than average and is light and airy, having a deep bay window formed by three sets of sealed unit double glazed sash windows. The higher than average ceilings are marked with a decorative cornice.

Lounge
Adjacent to the dining room is the main lounge, again with higher than average ceilings and of good proportions, it benefits from light coming in from two aspects, double glazed French doors to the rear leading onto a decking area and a sash window at the side. A central feature of this room is the carved limestone fireplace and hearth with an open grate suitable for log or solid fuel burning.

Kitchen
Returning to the reception hall, the last door leads into the kitchen. This area is fitted with an extensive range of oak door base and wall units in plain shaker style. The base units are surmounted with polished granite worktops, with granite up-stands and it is inset with a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink. There is a full height housing unit for a double door American style fridge. Facing the window is the cooker housing unit in matching style, this is fitted with a Britannia range cooker with a six plate ceramic hob, double oven and grill. There is an overhead Neff extract hood.

Breakfast / Family Room Area
Open plan from the kitchen area which is floored with Welsh slate tiles under floor heating, we move into the breakfast/ family room area where we revert to the oak plank flooring. This area runs at right angles to the kitchen and extends along the rear of the house. There is a set of French doors leading out onto the slab paved patio. At the end, adjacent to the kitchen is the;

Utility Room.
This has matching units but with laminated worktops, a stainless steel inset sink, space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and a half glazed door leading out to the rear garden. At the opposite end of the family room there is a door leading directly into the garage. And next to it a spiral staircase takes us up to a small landing where a door to the left leads into a shower room.

Shower Room
This is equipped with a contemporary white suite comprising a pedestal sink, low level W.C., a corner shower cubicle with a curved sliding glazed door and screen, drench pan and hand held shower fitting. The walls are part tiled and feature a chrome ladder rack towel rail.

Bedroom Two
Crossing back over the landing we come into bedroom two. This is a very large bedroom with part vaulted ceiling and a window overlooking the front of the property. There are three pairs of twin door closets providing a wealth of storage. Being set slightly apart from the main part of the house this would be an ideal guest suite or teenager room.

Retracing our steps through the breakfast family room and the kitchen into the main hall we take the stairs up to the first floor and continue up the next flight up to the second floor.

Second Floor Landing
There is a short cross landing giving access to the two rooms but immediately in front of us is the shower room.

Shower Room
Part tiled wall and there is a very contemporary Villeroy & Boch suite comprising a pedestal sink, concealed flush W.C. and a tiled shower cubicle with overhead pan shower and two wall mounted body jets.

Bedroom Four
This room is part vaulted with a dormer window to the front. There is a double door storage closet which extends left and right to provide a sizable amount of storage.

Bedroom Five
Crossing over the landing we come to bedroom five. This is a slightly smaller room and has a single door closet for storage and a window overlooking the front.

Bedroom Three
Moving down one flight of stairs we are back on the main landing and walk in to bedroom three. This has a broad three section sash window to the rear of the house making this a particularly light room. It has a single door storage closet and an en-suite bathroom. This has been recently refurbished with a Laufen ceramic suite comprising a pedestal sink, low level W.C. a double ended panel spa bath with mid mounted chrome mixer taps and a 1.2m shower cubicle with drench pan and hand held shower head with sliding glazed doors. There is a contemporary style heated towel rail on the part tiled wall.

Master Bedroom Suite
Crossing back over the landing we come to the large master bedroom suit. Immediately in front of us is a door leading into a dressing room. This is a good size space and already has four double door storage closets providing a great deal of hanging space. A door off of the dressing room leads into the en-suite bathroom which has also been recently refurbished with a Villeroy & Boch white ceramic suite with pedestal sink, low level W.C.. There is a double ended panel bath with mid point taps set into a tiled surround. There is an extra width shower cubicle with a full body shower fitting including a drench pan head. The floor and walls are tiled in matching ceramic tiles and there is a chrome ladder rack towel rail. This is a very stylish bathroom and gives a sense of luxury to the master suite. Returning once more through the dressing room we come to the master bedroom itself. This is a brightly lit room enhanced by dual aspect sash windows to the side and rear. There is additional storage space in this area in the form of a single door closet and the airing cupboard.

Outside
Turning our attention to the outside of the house, the garden is essentially L shaped down one side and the rear of the property, with trees to the boundary providing a high degree of privacy. A considerable amount of landscaping has been undertaken to provide varied aspects which will benefit from the sun at different parts of the day. The flagstone paved semi-circular patio to the rear of the breakfast room will benefit from early morning sunshine. This extends down the side of the house where there is a paved area providing hard standing for a garden shed, bin storage and there is a side access gate to the front. Also in this area is the central heating oil storage tank sensibly shielded by close paneled fencing.

Walking back over the patio area we come to the broader section of the garden, there are lawns extending down both sides. At the apex of the garden there is a circular paved seating area with a vine covered pergola which will provide a shady area at mid-day for outside dining and the perfect place to enjoy a sun-down gin & tonic. Moving across the lawn we come to the decking area which is situated behind the main lounge. The decking has a turned spindle balustrade and steps down at the side leading to a further paved area at the side of the house where there is a very useful barbeque area which is composed of a little pitched roof shelter which would have a multitude of uses but certainly will allow a barbeque to continue through the vagaries of the English summer.

Integral Garage
The integral double door garage has two electric up and over doors, power and light are connected. The central heating boiler is located in this area and there is ample space for additional storage. There is a door to the rear for access to the garden.
