The reception hall is especially impressive being accessed by a generous six panelled door and columned porch and boasts a striking double direction staircase which accesses a large galleried landing. The drawing room which features a delicately carved marble fire surround as a focal point and family room are situated to the rear of the property enabling them to take advantage of the stunning rear views and they also benefit from access to the impressive raised stone terrace. The heart of the house is formed by the attractive kitchen/breakfast room which is extensively fitted with a range of black American walnut units and granite surfaces which is complemented by a range of built-in 'Neff' appliances to include twin ovens, dishwasher, coffee machine, microwave and a plumbed in Rangemaster fridge/freezer and is perfect for large scale entertaining by way of French doors directly accessing the terrace. Formal entertaining is taken care of by a dining room to the front of the house and a well proportioned study further adding to the flexibility of the accommodation on offer.

The galleried landing on the first floor is particularly impressive creating a vast feeling of space and having views to the front elevation and rooflines of the village with the parish church in the distance. From here all the bedrooms on the first floor are accessed with the principal suite being situated at the rear of the property enjoying fabulous views and also benefiting from French doors to a Juliette balcony. In addition it boasts an impressively large en-suite bath/shower room with a double Jacuzzi bath, his and hers wash hand basins and a large walk-in shower cubicle.

Two further well proportioned bedrooms situated to the front elevation of the property are served by a spacious family bathroom. The second floor is accessed via another staircase leading to a galleried landing with a window providing further attractive views and accesses two spacious double bedrooms both of which are served by a large bath/shower room with bidet and tiled floor. The second floor accommodation could readily be utilised as a self-contained unit which could be ideal for an au-pair or live nanny.

The grounds of the property are a true delight and are accessed via twin electric gates leading to a large area of parking which in turn leads to the detached double garage which is equipped with power and light. Several particularly mature yew trees shield the front of the property providing a high degree of privacy and rear access is afforded on both sides with the Northerly aspect having large gates enabling vehicular access to the rear.

The rear gardens are particularly impressive and benefit from a South and Westerly aspect enabling them to take advantage of the all day sun. They have been professionally landscaped and have a stunning full width stone terrace with balustrade which is accessed via the principal reception room and kitchen making it perfect for family entertaining and large parties. This raised terrace provides stunning views of the grounds beneath, which are distinctly segregated by a further terrace into two areas beyond which have open and impressive views of rolling Essex countryside. An attractive stone planter boasts a pretty olive tree providing a focal point within the terrace and within each brick parapet is attractive planting.

Beyond this are two large shaped terraced borders which are flanked by solid oak sleepers and mulched beds boasting a variety of shrubs and perennials providing interest all year and a natural division between the house and garden. To the North-Westerly aspect of the garden is a large area of gravel underneath a holme oak tree with a further yew tree providing shade. A low level brick wall then segregates a small vegetable garden and polytunnel beyond which is an attractive brick outbuilding which has all the facilities and services laid on to make a pool room. The upper terrace lawn was originally a tennis court in former days and as a result is particularly level and beyond this is another stone balustrade further segregating an area of garden which benefits form a variety of mature trees to include a cherry, yew tree and a large mature beech in the centre.

The combination of this well appointed grand village house, mature South and West facing landscaped grounds and stunning countryside views is extremely rare in this enviable village position within walking distance of the amenities making it the perfect family home. In all about 0.75 acres
