Set overlooking Elm Green Common within a generous plot of approximately 0.4 acres, this exceptional home of over 3,500 sq ft offers panoramic views across open countryside and protected National Trust woodland, providing a truly special setting in one of the most desirable villages in Essex. Beautifully landscaped gardens - designed by two Chelsea Flower Show-winning garden designers - feature a wealth of established planting, including majestic ancient olive trees, layered yew and ilex hedging, and some of the most magnificent hydrangeas you’ll find, all fed by a full irrigation system. A large porcelain terrace with discreet lighting offers the perfect spot for outdoor dining or entertaining, while a beautifully designed Oak Caseta and elegant glasshouse provide further lifestyle appeal.
The Caseta features an open grate log fire and soft lighting, which combined with the ability to enclose the sides, provides a wonderful, all-seasons entertainment & relaxation space. Further, the glasshouse features retractable glass sides and a remote-controlled tilting roof, housing a hot tub and sauna for added relaxation.
Originally designed as a five-bedroom home, this exceptional property is a masterclass in blending timeless character with contemporary elegance. Striking London Black steel doors create a stunning contrast against the home's traditional features, while a superb oak-framed extension has transformed the kitchen and living space into a light-filled, sociable heart of the home. Reclaimed 1920s railway carriage oak flooring flows seamlessly through the welcoming hallway and into the impressive formal lounge a grand reception room boasting high ceilings, a feature log burner, and an abundance of natural light from large windows to both the front and rear elevations. The bespoke Davonport kitchen is beautifully appointed, featuring a premium range of Fulgor and Miele appliances, complemented by carefully curated matching dressers that enhance its luxurious finish and timeless appeal.
Further potential exists to enlarge the accommodation, with positive pre-planning advice previously obtained for an extension above the garages to create additional bedrooms. There is also scope to incorporate self-contained annexe accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Upstairs, the current layout provides three double bedrooms, having previously been configured as five. The principal suite is exceptional, featuring two dressing rooms - one recently fitted by Neatsmith with tinted glass doors, a walnut-effect interior, and a central island. Planning permission is in place for a rear balcony to take full advantage of the open views, with Juliet balconies also approved for bedrooms two and three. This home is impressively equipped throughout: a recent state-of-the-art heating system, air conditioning with air purification to the bedrooms, hardwood windows, Monitor Audio ceiling speakers in the kitchen, Cat 5 cabling to key rooms, and CCTV providing peace of mind. A sizeable, gated driveway with rising bollards offers both privacy and security.
