Full Description: Green Acres is well located and set back from the road in a very convenient location for commuters both at the M11 and mainline train stations. The oldest part of the house dates back to the 17th century and is a traditional building of timber framed with plastered and weather boarded elevations and set under a tiled roof. There have been further extensions, the most recent is at the back of the house where there is an excellent kitchen/breakfast room with views and doors out to the garden.<br /><br />The kitchen has a good range of integrated appliances, granite worksurfaces, a central island unit and two sinks. There is a wide walkway with quality oak fronted cupboards mainly to one wall which provide additional storage and cloakroom. <br /><br />At the front of the property is the drawing which we believe was originally two rooms and at one end is a large wood burner, it’s a room of character with open timbers and an attractive period eyebrow window. Off the sitting room is a study and at the other end a gym, which could provide a further sitting room. There are two hallways, one has a cloakroom and the other leads to a useful utility room.<br /><br />On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and two singles, a wet/shower room, and a four-piece bathroom. A fifth bedroom is currently being used as a dressing room. <br /><br />Adjoining the house through a glazed link is the barn, a period building with impressive timbers and in parts a vaulted ceiling with two stained glass panels. There is a sitting/dining room and a well fitted kitchen. The barn has two staircases, one at either end, to a further two bedrooms, both en-suite. <br /><br />Outside, there is an extensive terrace, a vegetable area and a listed period pump. The grounds are relatively easily maintained and laid to lawn with shrubs and an orchard. There is a folly, a hard tennis court and also a small stable block. <br /><br />The grounds extend in all to approx. 3.2 acres of which there is about a 1/3 of an acre to the front which is well established and provides screening with trees and shrubs.<br /><br /> Sheering is a West Essex village, has a local shop, primary school and two inns, and is conveniently located for the larger village of Hatfield Heath (approx 1 miles) which provides further everyday shopping facilities, and Sawbridgeworth (approx 2 miles) which has a mainline railway station running a regular service to London (Liverpool Street). The larger centres of Bishop’s Stortford (6 miles) and Harlow (4 miles) both provide a more comprehensive range of social, recreational and educational facilities, main line railway stations, and access to the M11 motorway at junctions 8 and 7A and 7 respectively.
