What We Say at The Zoe Napier Group
This property is a rare commodity…a deceptively spacious family home with excellent adjoining equestrian facilities, whilst the detached outbuilding offers potential for a work from home office or alternatively a self-contained annexe (stp). Being located within a five-minute drive of Wickford railway station will undoubtedly appeal to discerning commuters that require good access into London’s Liverpool Street.
What the Owners Say
We have loved living here and our children have fully immersed themselves in the extensive range of equine facilities that we are lucky enough to have here, whilst he ancillary accommodation really is versatile and could be utilised in a variety of ways to suit the incoming buyer. It’s going to be very hard to leave but we have decided to re-locate to the Essex/ Suffolk borders to be closer to friends and family and pass the baton onto the next family.
History & Background
This delightful family residence is believed to have been originally constructed in the 1990’s and really is as deceptively spacious as it is versatile. The welcoming entrance hall provides access to three generous reception rooms and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room that is ably complemented by the utility room and adjoining shower room.
The first floor enjoys a bright and airy, galleried landing that provides access to five generous, double bedrooms, three of which benefit from their own en suite facilities.
Externally the secluded 0.76 acre grounds (stls) are a particular feature, with an expansive driveway to the front offering ample off street parking, with extensive stabling, outbuilding and manege to the rear.

Ground Floor Accommodation
As you enter the property the elongated entrance hall offers an excellent space for your Christmas tree during the festive period and provides access to the kitchen/ breakfast room, a bright and airy dual aspect room with an array of units, useful breakfast bar and is complemented by the useful utility room across the hall. The impressive sitting room is situated in the rear with French doors offering views over the grounds and seamlessly flows into the dining room, whilst the study resides in the front elevation which if combined with the adjoining shower room could quite conceivably be utilised as a sixth bedroom that would be ideal for elderly relatives or teenager.
First Floor Accommodation
An elegant wooden staircase curves around to the first floor that benefits from an airy galleried landing and leads to the impressive principal bedroom suite, a generous double bedroom with a range of fitted wardrobe cupboards and en suite bathroom, whilst the remaining four bedrooms are all double rooms, two of which also enjoy their own spacious en suite bathrooms.
