Large period house on a private 0.524-acre plot near Shenfield station.
Six double bedrooms and six bath/shower rooms
Set on a mature 0.524-acre plot in sought-after Hutton Mount, this substantial Edwardian detached house offers classic proportions and modern convenience for an executive family. The home delivers six double bedrooms, six bath/shower rooms and five generous reception rooms arranged over 5,295 sq ft, with a spectacular galleried hall and many original period features including high ceilings, sash windows and decorative cornices.
The plot is a standout: a private, south‑easterly rear garden of approximately 120' x 105', screened by tall evergreen hedging and planted with lawns, specimen shrubs and fruit trees. A wide carriage driveway provides extensive off‑street parking and access to a large single garage. Practical extras include a well‑appointed kitchen/breakfast room with island, utility room, a Swedish‑style outbuilding currently used as a gym, and solar panels supplying electricity and hot water.
The house is presented as a high‑quality period family residence but retains scope for modernisation or extension (subject to planning consent) to suit contemporary lifestyles. Note the property’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, the double glazing appears to pre‑date 2002, and the sizeable footprint and character finishes mean ongoing maintenance and updating will be required. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Its proximity to Shenfield mainline and Crossrail, a strong selection of local primary and secondary schools, and an affluent, well‑connected neighbourhood make this a rare opportunity for families wanting space, privacy and character within commuting distance of London.
