Property description
Re-built in 1991, The barn was sympathetically converted into this impressive and substantial family home of distinctive style and character, still retaining its massive timber frame, much of which remains exposed within the property.
The property forms part of a select residential development within a private lane, placed close to the village centre and within easy reach of Audley End railway station at Wendens Ambo. Within the property are three stylish reception rooms, each with double doors opening to the rear garden and the drawing room with an Inglenook fireplace, in addition to the most impressive reception hall, currently used as a dining room. This area features a high vaulted ceiling with galleried landing above, exposed timbers and double height glazed windows overlooking the front garden, flooding the area with natural light. A well appointed kitchen allows space for a breakfast table and chairs and incorporates a range of wooden fronted cupboards and fitted appliances, including a four oven Aga. A conservatory adjoins the kitchen, linked via double doors, creating a further bright living area with full height windows overlooking the front garden.
On the first floor there are five generously proportioned bedrooms, two of which have their own en suite bathroom, in addition to the principal family bathroom located off the central galleried landing.
The property sits within a mature plot of about 0.4 of an acre, set well back from the road behind a large front garden, with an extensive driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles and access to a detached double garage. A five-bar gate leads to the formal garden, beautifully maintained with a neatly trimmed lawn and a variety of mature plants, trees and shrubs. The rear garden is equally well landscaped and again laid predominantly to lawn. The garden incorporates a large paved terrace, ideal for entertaining al fresco, a variety of mature trees grouped towards the rear and borders stocked with numerous plants and shrubs.
