Description
Creephedge House is located in a semi-rural location between Chelmsford and South Woodham Ferrers. Occupying an elevated situation, there are far-reaching views towards the Crouch Estuary over the gardens and paddock of approximately 4.6 acres, ideal for equestrian use. With signs of subsidence in one area of the house, the property represents an opportunity to redevelop or as a restoration opportunity.
An entrance porch opens into a central hallway providing access to the principal reception rooms, cloakroom, utility room and kitchen. To the south, overlooking the gardens, the sitting and dining rooms form the older part of the house with high ceilings and deep windows. Adjacent is a conservatory housing a wonderful mature grape vine and from here is access onto the south and east terraces. At the centre of the house, the kitchen/breakfast room extends to approximately 23 ft and enjoys lovely garden views. Adjacent is the principal reception room which offers the potential to create a vast kitchen/family room. This room is currently used as a dining/sitting room and features a fireplace, high ceilings and deep windows.
The first floor has five bedrooms (two en suite) and a family bathroom. The bedrooms to the rear offer elevated views, including the principal bedroom which has a dressing room and spacious bathroom.
Outside
The house occupies a corner plot on Creephedge Lane and Leighams road. A drive from Leighams Road provides access to a sizeable garage with internal stairs and access to a room over. The plot wraps around the house with south (rear) and west-facing gardens. Behind the house is a substantial brick-paved terrace and adjacent is a further stone terrace with an outdoor summerhouse and barbecue area, garden store and greenhouse. The gardens are enclosed by mature trees affording a good deal of privacy and include an ornamental pond with paved surround.
Paddock Land
The paddock lies to the south extending to about 4.6 acres, separated by a hedgerow from the garden with a gated entrance. There is a further entrance from Creephedge Lane and the land is divided into two areas with the upper field including a field shelter. There are wonderful views across farmland to the Crouch Valley.
Services
Mains water and electricity. Private drainage. Please note under current legislation the private drainage system will need replacing with a compliant treatment plant and it will be the responsibility of the incoming purchaser to install this.
Agent's Notes
(i) Please note the house has noticeable signs of subsidence on its western edge and consequently the house is unlikely to be mortgageable. (ii) The sellers are proposing a covenant on the paddock. Should planning be granted for the property, an uplift payment will be made to the sellers or their successors. Details upon request. (iii) The site has two titles:
EX340036 and EX724370. iv) There is a public footpath just inside the bottom paddock, map available upon request.
Location
Railway station at Woodham: 2.8miles; A12/A130: 3.5 miles; Chelmsford City: 7 miles (rail service to London). All distances approximate.
The house is located on a country lane on the outskirts of East Hanningfield, to the south of Chelmsford. East Hanningfield has a local shop/post office, a pub, a restaurant and a village school.
The city of Chelmsford provides a cosmopolitan town centre with many shops, bars and restaurants and within the immediate vicinities is a range of state and private schools.
Despite the property's rural location, rail services are readily available at South Woodham, Wickford and Chelmsford. The A130/A12 interchange is just over 3 miles away.
Square Footage: 3,480 sq ft
