Wakes Hall Park is an idyllic location, set in the gently rolling landscape of the North Essex Countryside.

The 'Town House' (3 Wakes Hall Park) is a Grade II listed conversion and originally formed part of the Georgian Country House. A sweeping gravelled driveway leads past the ornamental pond and water fountain to the property and the designated parking.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors, the open plan ground floor offers a dual aspect sitting / dining room and highlights the typical characterful features associated with the period of original construction, such as sash windows and high ceilings. The level of finish throughout the property is very good as demonstrated by the kitchen, with sleek design NEFF integrated hob, extractor hood, oven, dishwasher, and fridge / freezer appliances. Ample storage is provided by a good array of cupboards and drawers all set within an attractive Corian worksurface.

Further work-space and storage is provided by the adjoining utility room, that also provides space and plumbing for a washing machine. The cloakroom completes the ground floor comprised of a toilet and handbasin set within a vanity unit.

The dual aspect master bedroom is located on the first floor and enjoys wonderfully scenic views across the Colne Valley. The ensuite shower room to the master bedroom comprises a shower cubicle, toilet, handbasin set within a vanity unit and heated towel rail.

Ascending the stairs to the second floor there are two further bedrooms. Bedroom two is a guest's double room and the third bedroom is a single room presently used as an office. The bathroom that serves these two bedrooms is comprised of a bath with shower hose attachment, handbasin set within a vanity unit, toilet, and heated towel rail. For additional convenience there is a large airing cupboard, ideal for storing sheets and towels.
