Four double bedrooms, family shower room, family bathroom, two generous receptions and detached double garage. Elevated position within stunning far-reaching views in all directions. Walking distance to Chelmsford mainline train station. EPC awaited.
THE PROPERTY
This unique property, thought to have been constructed for Lord Petre's son, benefits from the features you would expect from the Victorian period, with high ceilings, generous sash windows with original shutters/ panelling and rich exposed floorboards and has been subject to an extensive renovation, redecoration and expansion during the owner’ 15-year tenure, using the highest quality fixtures and fittings, in keeping with the period of the house.
The grand entrance hall provides a turning stairwell to the first and second floors, solid wood flooring, Victorian style ground floor cloakroom with fired earth tiling and access into the south facing sitting room. This beautiful reception benefits from the period features previously mentioned as well as a lovely Victorian style open fireplace with ornate surround, bespoke fitted cupboards and two generous picture sash windows with stunning views across open countryside to the south aspect.
The east wing of the house provides a striking Neptune kitchen breakfast room which is flooded with the morning light via two more deep sash windows with original shutters. The kitchen is fully integrated with an electric induction Rangemaster, integrated dishwasher and washer/dryer, an array of bespoke cabinetry, central breakfast bar with inset butler sink and granite worktops. The kitchen was completely redesigned and installed in recent years, as was the adjoining Oakland Orangery, which is open to the kitchen, providing a beautiful modern flow of family living/entertaining space with under floor heating, a sizeable domed fully glazed lantern ceiling and double doors which open onto the most impressive courtyard garden. This delightful outdoor space is extremely private and quiet, benefitting from the sun throughout the day.
To the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys the most
enviable views of the grounds and rural landscape beyond. Bedroom two is also a good size double with views to the front gardens. These two bedrooms are served by a Victorion style Burlington suite shower room with walk in shower.
The top floor boasts two further double bedrooms with plenty of eves storage both also enjoying lovely views, served by a delightful family bathroom with a four-piece copper detail suite including a freestanding clawfoot bathtub.
The property sits in a striking elevated position boasting outstanding, countryside views in all directions, with the use of a sweeping in-and-out gravelled driveway that leads up to the fine manor house, set deep within the grounds away from the road.
It also benefits from its own detached double garage, private frontage, ample space for parking, a peaceful private garden and access to substantial communal gardens with far reaching views. It provides the ideal spot for entertaining and varied al fresco dining amid the picturesque surroundings and historic specimen trees of the estate.
Although the Manor House is set within a semi-rural, idyllic position, it is still within walking distance of the Historic village of Writtle and central Chelmsford with its wealth of schooling with transport to New Hall, Felsted and Brentwood independent schools passing the door.
