A truly stunning property, set in a beautiful wrap around garden with countryside views. Located in the village of Fairstead, this detached four bedroom home is positioned on approximately 2/3 of an acre of landscaped gardens (STS), surrounded by open countryside.<br /><br />The Grade II listed home is a wonderful blend of traditional and contemporary design, featuring exposed oak beams and character features throughout.<br /><br />Inside, the accommodation comprises a lounge, dining room, office/snug, garden room, kitchen, utility room, four bedrooms, and two shower rooms. The lounge features an Inglenook fireplace, creating a cosy space to curl up with a book or enjoy family films. This leads through to the dining room, which provides a welcoming setting for special occasions and benefits from its own open fireplace.<br /><br />The bespoke Murdoch Troon kitchen is sure to delight keen cooks and benefits from lovely views across the gardens. The hallway, kitchen and dining room are finished with elegant Travertine stone flooring, adding warmth and character throughout.<br /><br />The stunning garden room impresses with its high vaulted ceilings, generous seating space, and picturesque views across the gardens and duck pond. During the summer months, the bi-fold doors can be opened onto the patio area, where you can sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The south facing garden provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, family barbecues, and summer gatherings.<br /><br />The home offers flexible sleeping accommodation, with two bedrooms on the ground floor and two further bedrooms upstairs, all enjoying wonderful views to wake up to each morning. The two shower rooms provide added convenience, particularly when hosting guests or during busy mornings.<br /><br />A particularly unique feature of the property is the owners' garden pub, "The Dog & Duck", creating a charming country style retreat perfect for socialising with family and friends. Additional outbuildings include a generously sized gardening shed.<br /><br />This home has been the backdrop to many happy occasions, especially during the summer months. The expansive landscaped gardens surround the property on three sides and offer so much to explore and enjoy, including a shady bluebell and fern copse, an area of open lawn with views across neighbouring farmland, and further gardens featuring mature trees and shrubs. Winding pathways lead to hidden corners and peaceful spots where you can relax and enjoy the surrounding countryside and spectacular sunsets.<br /><br />For those looking to accommodate older relatives or provide older children with greater independence, the property's flexible layout offers the potential for two separate living areas, each with its own front door, shower room facilities, and separate central heating systems. This arrangement makes hosting family and guests particularly easy, while also allowing greater control over heating costs when only part of the home is in use. The accommodation may also present an opportunity to create an Airbnb-style guest space, taking advantage of the area's excellent transport links and beautiful rural setting.<br /><br />The home is located in the rural village of Fairstead, with the nearby towns of Braintree and Witham, along with the city of Chelmsford, providing a wide range of amenities.<br /><br />For commuters, the nearby train stations at Witham (approximately a 12 minute drive away) and Hatfield Peverel (approximately an 8 minute drive away) offer frequent services to London Liverpool Street. Access to the A12, A120 and M11 is also within easy reach, and the generous gravel driveway provides ample parking on your return home.<br /><br />The property is surrounded by countryside walks just minutes away and enjoys an attractive outlook towards the historic Fairstead Church, located on the Essex Way, a popular 81 mile waymarked footpath stretching between Epping and Harwich. This provides the opportunity to enjoy some of the finest rural countryside Essex has to offer.<br /><br />To truly appreciate the accommodation on offer, the fantastic location, and the opportunity to make this your forever home, please call us to arrange your viewing.
