Set on a private 0.9 acre plot, this recently updated four-bedroom detached house offers expansive, unoverlooked gardens and generous living space for family life. The heart of the home is a vaulted kitchen/dining/family room with glass lantern skylights and bi-fold doors, ideal for open-plan living and entertaining. A vaulted master bedroom with Juliette balcony, dressing room and en-suite provides a peaceful principal suite.
A detached two-bedroom self-contained annexe offers flexible use — intergenerational living, home office or rental income potential. Practical features include an electric gated driveway, detached garage with power and lighting, and an automatic backup generator. The property has many modern finishes throughout, underfloor heating in several rooms and recent refurbishment that reduces immediate maintenance needs.
Buyers should note some ongoing running costs and limitations: the house is on a septic tank that should be emptied about every 12–18 months (approx. £120 cost), council tax is in the higher band, and local broadband speeds are slow. The wider area records above-average crime statistics, and the property sits as an isolated/hamlet-style dwelling, which suits buyers seeking privacy rather than immediate urban amenities.
Overall this is a versatile family home in a semi-rural setting, offering privacy, parking and strong ancillary accommodation. It will particularly suit growing families or buyers seeking an annexe for relatives or income, who appreciate countryside living with convenient road links to Chelmsford and the A12/A120.
