A sublime modern country house - one of the finest in Essex – set in circa 8.5 acres of immaculate, parkland grounds, with indoor pool/leisure facility and self-contained annexe, as well as garaging for 8+ cars. In total 12,155 sq ft.

Entirely screened by mature trees and hedgerows, Blanket Hall is a superbly proportioned, classically-designed home of immense quality, with a focus on privacy and family entertaining.

Approached via a discreet driveway lined predominantly by vibrant Rhododendrons, this architecturally impressive home is revealed, with symmetrical elevations punctuated by tall sash windows, centred around a stone portico.

Well-balanced accommodation commences with a grand, central entrance hall, showcasing a curved stone staircase with galleried first floor landing. An arrangement of four reception rooms provides sizeable yet homely living space, in addition to a luxurious Mark Wilkinson kitchen, featuring a central island and casual dining area. The outlook from each room is divine, each a reminder of the privacy and maturity afforded by this remarkable setting. As is to be expected, every practicality and functional aspect of the home has been catered for, ensuring the smooth running of this modern home, with the kitchen and three principal bedrooms enjoying air conditioning.

A total of six bedrooms are offered in the main dwelling, with a further second floor currently utilised for storage and providing opportunity for further living accommodation. In addition, a detached, self-contained annexe/coach house provides two bedroom accommodation with a kitchen/living room and shower room, and benefits from independent driveway access.

The indoor pool/leisure complex is of particular note, featuring a heated swimming pool with inset jacuzzi; a fully fitted bar; mezzanine gym; changing room; and first floor games room. Access is also provided to an integral double garage, in addition to six further garaging bays in the detached coach house.

The grounds of circa 8.5 acres (subject to land survey) are a sheer delight, set in total privacy without a neighbour in sight; featuring an all-weather tennis court, machinery stores, and a Victorian-style greenhouse. Views across the majestic gardens can also be enjoyed from the raised entertaining terrace to the rear of the property. For those seeking additional grounds, a parcel of land to the north east (circa 8 acres) is available via separate negotiation.
