Kilowen has been meticulously considered in its design, offering 3,573 sq ft of light and generous modern living space, amplified by the striking glazed entrance hall and engineered oak hallway that runs the entirety of the property. The kitchen was designed and installed by LUXE of Chelmsford and provides dining and living areas as well as a circular solid wood breakfast bar off the generous central island. The fully fitted kitchen enjoys an induction AGA cooker and American style AGA fridge freezer, tiled flooring, vaulted ceiling and double doors onto the adjoining patio/terrace. Located in the heart of the property this wonderful space is flooded with light and boasts the most enviable views of the grounds.
Heavy solid oak double doors open to a substantial dining room, which has seated up to 25 people and provides a vaulted bay window with views onto the rear garden, turned chandelier, oak flooring and double doors onto the extensive raised decking to the rear. The drawing room is again flooded with light with a triple aspect, double doors onto the front patio / terrace and further double doors to the decking. There are four more floor to ceiling windows, a vaulted ceiling and most impressive inglenook with hand carved surround above a wood burning stove. Beyond the drawing room a striking vaulted conservatory again opens to both external seating areas and provides more of the lovely views previously mentioned.

There are five very generous double bedrooms of note the principal bedroom and bedroom two which both have lovely ensuite facilities. The remaining three share the family bathroom with separate double length shower. All the bedrooms enjoy views of the rear gardens except bedroom five which is currently utilised as a games room/ office and looks onto the front of the house.

The kitchen is served by a generous utility room which gives external access to the covered link between the house and the double garage. This provides fantastic, covered parking with an EV point. The garage benefits from two large electric roller doors, workshop and generous pitched roof. It is important to note that this section of the property could become a substantial master wing with ensuite and dressing room, if required and subject to planning.

A discreet gravel driveway off the country lane sweeps down a considerable way to the electric double gates to the house, resulting in the property being set deep behind the lane within the most idyllic of settings, protected by far reaching countryside and paddocks to the front and side. The wildlife is abundant, Kites, fallow deer, roe deer and swallows are a common feature as well as the horses that graze in the distance.

The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn with established trees and hedging providing complete privacy. The external seating areas surround the property offering a wealth of entertaining space, enjoying the sun throughout the day.

Although the property is located within an idyllic location, set back from a small county lane, it is only a 17 minute drive to the ever popular market town of Sudbury and just 6 minutes from Halsted, both boasting an excellent range of facilities, including cafes, restaurants and independent shops with a Waitrose at the former. Brraintree mainline station is just 20 minutes away with direct trains into Liverpool Street. There is a wealth of schooling within all sectors with two private schools and village school at the village of Gosfield. Boys and Girls grammar schools are located in the city of Colchester.

Great Maplestead is a much sought after and popular north Essex village with a vibrant community offering social activities, village hall and the Parish church of St Giles and C of E primary school.
