What we say at the Zoe Napier Group
This really is a gem of a property, set in a little bowl of open countryside with sumptuous views over the adjoining farmland, where horses reside in late summer and yet, so readily accessible for Gidea Park, Collier Row and London. The accommodation is incredibly versatile and could be utilised in a variety of different ways to suit the incoming family, whilst the secluded mature grounds offer a veritable paradise for any budding gardeners!
What the owners say:
We have loved living here for the past 30 years and before we retired it was hugely convenient having the mainline station located so close by, offering a short commute into the city via the Elizabeth line. We will dearly miss meandering through the surrounding countryside on long dog walks and the glorious sunrises you experience as the day starts but we need to be closer to our family and fortunately for us we have already managed to secure our onward purchase, which allows us to offer the property for sale chain free.
History & Background
Fascinatingly, the property was originally constructed from materials that were sourced from Pyrgo Park Mansion when it was demolished in the 1930's, consequently there are some wonderful, unique features including the stunning mosaic floor in the impressive entrance hall and the oak flooring with inlaid oak panelling in the sitting room. The current owners subsequently enhanced the already generous accommodation with a substantial two storey side conversion of the garage in 2014. The round window being sourced from the 19th St Andrews Hospital in Bow when it closed.
The ground floor accommodation includes three generous reception rooms that are complemented by the spacious kitchen/ breakfast, whilst the first floor boasts three/ four double bedrooms that are serviced by the luxury family shower room.
The grounds are a delight, extending to 0.35 acres (stls) and are beautifully secluded via a plethora of mature trees and shrubs.
Setting & Location
The property is situated along a private road of just two properties within the highly sought after village of Havering – Atte – Bower, a charming Essex village, that enjoys its own primary school (Dame Tipping) currently rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted as well as the independent Immanuel School close by.
The nearby Havering County Park and Bedfords Park, offer 165 acres and 215 acres respectively of sumptuous parkland and include woodland, meadows, ponds, streams, marshy areas and are home to a wide range of wildlife, including birds, mammals, invertebrates, dragonflies, butterflies, and a captive herd of red deer….the perfect sanctuary for those long country walks!
Links to the A127, A12 & M25 just a short drive away, whilst Gidea Park and Harold Wood Stations (Elizabeth Line) are the closest over ground stations at 3.0 miles offering a commute into London’s Liverpool Street in under forty minutes.
The nearby larger towns of Brentwood and Romford offer a comprehensive range of amenities including countless eateries, shops, boutiques and public houses, with ample schooling on offer including the highly regarded independent Brentwood school.
Ground Floor Accommodation
The front door is encompassed by a covered storm porch and provides access to the entrance hall, an incredibly impressive space with glorious mosaic tiled flooring. The sitting room is situated in the East elevation, a charming bay fronted room, oozing character including original, bespoke solid oak flooring and attractive open fireplace, with the adjoining dining room boasting open fireplace and French doors onto the rear grounds, fabulous for al fresco dining! Positioned centrally within the property is the kitchen/ breakfast room, a bright and airy room with elongated windows, a range of base and eye level units with complementary Quartz worktops, breakfast bar and is complemented beautifully by the spacious adjoining wrap around conservatory and cloakroom. The more recent contemporary side elevation is split level, with split level staircase, incorporating glass balustrades leading down to the family room, that could quite conceivably be utilised as a fourth bedroom if required, whilst a further staircase leads up to a mezzanine area that acts as a further reception area and incorporates a fantastic circular feature window that beautifully frames some breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside, the perfect space to sit back and relax with a book and a glass of wine!
First Floor Accommodation
