Built circa 1905 and occupying a plot of approximately 1.25+ acres, this distinguished home offers a true countryside setting with far-reaching views, yet just moments from Ingatestone station and High Street.
Set well back from the road behind two sweeping, tree-lined driveways, the approach creates an immediate sense of arrival. The expansive plot and mature gardens enjoy a south-westerly aspect, providing long days of sunny enjoyment.
The setting is both private and peaceful, yet remarkably convenient. From a commuting perspective, this is hard to better: a short walk to Ingatestone station, where you can step off the train from London and arrive home to open countryside, space, and tranquillity within minutes.
The lifestyle offering here is particularly compelling. The grounds extend to approximately 1.25 acres and include a swimming pool with changing/shower facilities, a hard tennis court, and a double garage.
Internally, the property has been thoughtfully upgraded and immaculately maintained. The ground floor centres around an extensively fitted kitchen, open plan to a dining area and flowing through to a family/TV room with doors opening onto the terrace. The drawing room and dining room provide elegant, more formal spaces for entertaining, while the conservatory extends the living accommodation further, connecting seamlessly with the gardens beyond. A study/home office enjoys particularly fine views across the front grounds.
The first & second floor provide four bedrooms, including a well-appointed principal suite with dressing room and en-suite, alongside a luxuriously fitted family bathroom. A second floor creates a fourth bedroom with shower room and useful walk-in storage.
Constructed of mellow brick beneath a pitched tiled roof, with rendered elevations and Georgian-style windows, the house retains its period charm while offering practical, modern living.
Agent’s Note: the tennis court is situated on land held under a long lease from Lord Petre, with a nominal peppercorn rent payable - a common arrangement in this area near Ingatestone Hall. In total, the plot extends to almost 2 acres to include this area.
