North Hill, Little Baddow, Chelmsford, CM3

Nestled in the highly desirable village of Little Baddow, this exquisite character detached property, set on a plot of approximately a fifth of an acre, seamlessly blends 17th-century charm with modern luxury.

Recently, this elegant home has undergone an extensive renovation, extension and remodelling programme, transforming it into a perfect abode for 21st-century family living. The meticulous restoration of original oak beams ensures that the cottage's historic charm is beautifully preserved.

The ambitious project also introduced a new detached double garage with an adjacent leisure room, ideal for a generous home office space separate from the main house.

The extensive hard and soft landscaping has created a stunning outdoor space with both lawn and paved areas. This garden enjoys sunlight from dawn until dusk, making it perfect for relaxation, outdoor dining, and entertaining.

The ground floor boasts a spacious entrance hall leading to an open-plan kitchen and family space, bathed in natural light and featuring underfloor heating for year-round comfort. Bi-fold doors provide seamless access to the garden. The kitchen is a chef's dream, with solid wood shaker-style units, a central island, quartz worktops, integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and space for a range-style oven. A separate utility room offers additional integrated fridge/freezer and space for a tumble dryer and washing machine. The main living room is a cosy retreat with a feature brick fireplace and wood-burning stove, complemented by exposed oak timbers and a large walk-in bay window.

The ground floor also includes a cloakroom and a versatile reception room that could serve as a fifth bedroom, snug, or study, with its own modernly decorated shower room and independent access to the outside.

Upstairs, the main bedroom exudes spaciousness with a vaulted ceiling and dual aspect windows. It features a separate dressing area with fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite shower room with his and her sinks and real marble tiling. A modern family bathroom offers similar luxury with a freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower, and vanity wash basin. Three additional bedrooms, two of which are doubles featuring oak beams and timbers, complete the first-floor accommodation.

Externally, the property enjoys a generous frontage and sits on a plot of around a fifth of an acre. A brick-pillared entrance leads to a gravel drive with ample parking and access to the new garage. The oversized double garage features an electric door and an adjacent garden room, which could also serve as a spacious office, consulting room, or gym.

This luxurious home offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern convenience, making it a truly exceptional property in the heart of Little Baddow.
