Property description

A character farmhouse being un-Listed with many character features throughout and potential to extend,
set on a plot of circa 2.5 acres(stls) with woodland, formal gardens, garaging/workshop and a large detached barn which has scope for development (stpp). Approached by a gated entrance into a gravelled driveway the farmhouse offers red brick and rendered elevations with an entrance porch leading into the central hallway featuring exposed brickwork and timbers… wooden floors continue to the three reception rooms - the main reception featuring a bay window with exposed wood lintel and red brick Inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, a second reception with fireplace currently used as a study/music room and a further dining room. The country-style kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of units and has external access via a further porch – there is also a ground floor cloakroom. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, a beautifully fitted dual-aspect principal bedroom with walk-in dressing room and a modern re-fitted double shower room adjacent. There are two further double bedrooms and the fourth bedroom currently utilised as a walk-in dressing room.

Behind the Farmhouse is a brick-paved sun terrace leading onto a landscaped south-easterly facing garden featuring flower and shrub borders, pathways and lawns leading to a natural pond. Nearby is a covered pergola providing sheltered seating and BBQ area. There is also rear access into one of the large garages. The driveway to the front offers ample parking space leading to two lots of garaging with roller-shutter doors and a workshop incorporated into a separate building next to the Barn. The black weatherboarded Essex Barn offers vehicular access, ample space for machinery storage and a separate large store room – adjoining the Barn is a stable block/further storage. The land behind the Barn and property offering grassland and a copse of mature trees which could easily be fenced as a grazing paddock. There is also a large aluminium storage shed.

The planning permission (currently expired) offers permitted development to create a substantial extension to the main house, with 8 meters permitted to the ground floor and with a second storey extension also - this would become a fantastic family home offering a prospective purchaser the opportunity to build to their requirements. The property occupies a sought-after semi-rural location, being well-placed for access to Shenfield main line station, Brentwood town centre and main road links. EPC E.<br /><br />
