A charming period property located on the periphery of Felsted, set centrally within its picturesque and established grounds offering four bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms, four receptions and kitchen breakfast room. Extensive parking detached quadruple cart lodge and further main entrance with shingle driveway. EPC exempt.
THE PROPERTY
This charming Grade II listed property boasting many period features including exposed timbers and open fireplaces extends to circa 2600 sq ft of extremely light and modern accommodation across both floors, located within just under a mile of the ever popular and sought-after award-winning village of Felsted with its renowned public school, pubs, cafes and Post Office/Store.
The front door opens into a generous hallway with parquet flooring and views to the front garden, also giving access to the first floor via a split stairwell and into the sitting room to the front of the house which benefits from a beautiful triple aspect and is flooded with light enjoying an exposed brick, open fireplace and separate study area via open studwork. The adjacent family room benefits from beautiful solid wood flooring and lovely views onto the pond. Like the sitting room, it also offers delightful open stud work into a separate dual aspect music room. Both of these receptions open into the inner entrance hall, access from the side of the house into a generous dining room with a continuation of the solid wood flooring and most impressive inglenook fireplace with inset wood burner on a brick hearth. The dining room leads through into the adjoining kitchen breakfast room with generous walk-in pantry, utility/boot room and second stairwell to the first-floor bedrooms. The kitchen is substantial with a beautiful, vaulted ceiling and lovely triple aspect to the rear, side and front gardens opening onto the extensive brick paved patio above the pond. The kitchen provides a gas Rangemaster cooker and solid wood worktops and solid wood breakfast bar. To the rear of the property beyond the dining room is a substantial rear entrance hall providing a ground floor
cloakroom, study and generous coat cupboard.
To the first floor there are four bedrooms, three of which are good size doubles, of note, the principal bedroom with a dual aspect onto the side and front gardens via generous sash windows, built in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. Bedroom two is actually the larger of the four bedrooms and benefits from an extensive adjoining loft room/potential games room. Bedroom three is also a good size double with sash windows looking onto the front garden located opposite the family bathroom. The fourth bedroom is a single and is situated next to the family shower room.
EXTERNALLY
Watch House benefits from two entrances, the main entrance opens onto a gravel driveway set above the pond and willow trees to the front of the house. A beautiful part walled lawned garden is accessed from the driveway via a single pathway with established hedging to the front and well stocked beds below. Wooden fencing runs around the border of the sunken pond to a delightful, raised patio. The rear garden is accessed via a separate entrance over a shared driveway onto an extensive paved parking area, which is served by a substantial detached barn with 4 bay cart lodge. Beyond the rear parking area, a brick pathway leads to a gate into the east facing garden with deep flower beds to the eastern boundary and a second detached barn which is currently utilised for garden storage. The delightful patio wraps around the front of the property offering varied alfresco seating areas throughout the day which benefits from full sunshine. These wonderful grounds are extremely private and quiet with established hedging and planting, creating a very idyllic setting which is full of interest and colour throughout the year.
