Owners Comments. 

Although we have now reached the time to downsize, I can honestly say that we have enjoyed this home immensely over the last 15 years. 

The location has proved to be ideal for us over the years, with Maldon and South Woodham Ferrers, both being within convenient reach and boasting every supermarket chain there is, Maldon high Street and surrounding, itself is very historic and picturesque whilst still offering a variety of amenities, including stores, eateries, shops, pubs and education. With the now famous Maldon Promenade Park just minutes away, which now hosts some great yearly festivals such as Soultasia etc, the famous Maldon Mud Race and much more, the park itself is a lovely place to visit and has several attractions for all the family, and an historic marina. The Maldon district remains to be a wonderful and peaceful part of Essex. It has great links to all road networks and never suffers from tailbacks. North Fambridge (3 mins drive) and Chelmsford (25 mins) Train stations both offer links to London etc. 

The House. 

Firstly, although the house is just over 20 years old, over this time we have continually updated the house, which has always been such a calming place to live. The surrounding landscape and scenery is fantastic, and through the summer months we have regularly sat in the garden with our glass of wine and watched the moon rising, which is spectacular, as is the panoramic views. We have enjoyed the complete privacy this house offers, the neighbours each side are lovely, and the front drive can easily hold at least 12+ vehicles, which is a great bonus when entertaining and making use of your own private garden bar complete with fitted BBQ, bar fridges, and sound system. 

This gem of a house has provided luxury and enjoyment for all the comforts of home. Every room in this house is of a very good size, making everywhere spacious yet comfortable.  Lastly, it also benefits from the bonus of a self contained  2 bedroomed Annexe situated at the bottom of the garden, complete with open plan modern fitted luxury kitchen/diner/Lounge, providing additional space / accommodation, and again boasting stunning views.
