Property description
A stunning 'New England' style main residence having large spaces for entertaining, which includes a 48ft (800 sq ft) stylish kitchen, family and dining room with a glass corridor leading through to the impressive indoor pool/spa complex with hot tub, steam room and sauna. In addition there is a substantial three bedroom, 1,800 sq ft single storey ancillary dwelling within the grounds, plus a Scandinavian style outbuilding for further hobby/gym amenities or for uses as a party room.
The property with its extensive outbuildings stands within a total of 8.5 acres, which consists of beautifully landscaped gardens, terraces and water features where there are strategically placed outdoor speakers for zoned music throughout and up to the modern tennis court.
The remaining acreage lies to the rear, well screened and suitable for grazing and further offering the potential for equestrian facilities which would be complemented by the extensive outriding available within the area.
The property is situated in a unique, rural part of Essex, between Brentwood and Romford, yet so readily accessible for the City by being just 5 miles to the North West of Brentwood Station, 10 miles to the East of Loughton, 6 miles north of Romford and just 8.9 miles from Epping Underground (Central Line) Station.
Horsemanside lies within the rural community of Navestock, which has relatively few inhabitants compared to its large areas of Common land and ancient woodland which extends up to Stapleford Abbotts and across to South Weald Country Park, where there are three golf courses within close proximity. The Alma Arms country pub/restaurant is 1/3rd of a mile up the lane, Alecs Restaurant (Fine Dining & Bistro) 2 miles away, and for the horse rider and country enthusiast there are simply miles of enjoyable access with a network of bridleways and footpaths within close proximity; a pocket of utopia for those requiring a good commute to London in exchange for a country lifestyle.
GROUND FLOOR ACOMMODATION: The property has been extensively refurbished and heavily influenced on an American New England Style theme which offers bright, particularly spacious accommodation which has been designed for great family living and entertaining combined with the comforts of zoned under floor heating (both ground and first floor) together with the modern technologies of integrated sound systems and a Cinema room packed with entertainment systems, a kitchen designed for ease with an internal glass corridor access to its own home indoor pool and spa complex with hot tub, sauna, pool and steam room. The Systemline integrated speakers can bring the entire house, spa and gardens to life (operating CCTV, Multi Sky, Sonos, Music & Radio) which can also be zoned and isolated accordingly.
The impressive entrance hall has a contemporary oak staircase to glass galleried bannister area and there is an impressive amount of storage for cloaks and sports equipment.
