Description
Nestled in a serene setting in North Essex, Willoughby’s Barn is a spectacular barn conversion offering around 5,400 square feet of luxurious accommodation. This exquisite property has been meticulously transformed into a comfortable family home, ideal for various types of families seeking a private retreat or a space for entertaining.
As you enter through the front door, you are welcomed by a stunning reception hall, illuminated by floor-to-ceiling glazed elevations. The vaulted ceiling with exposed trusses enhances the sense of space, while the inglenook fireplace provides a charming focal point. This versatile reception hall is currently arranged as a living and entertainment area.
The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen family room. This bespoke kitchen, featuring an exposed brick chimney, vaulted ceiling, breakfast island, and bi-folding doors to the garden, has been carefully redesigned to create the perfect everyday space. The recent transformation seamlessly connects the kitchen to the sitting room, where you can relax in front of the log burner and enjoy views of the rear garden.
The property is divided into two wings extending from the main living areas. The northern wing features the principal bedroom suite, a luxurious space with a large bedroom with a roll-top bath, an en-suite, and a dressing room. Adjacent to the principal suite is bedroom three, situated next to the family bathroom, and a spacious utility room/gym.
The southern wing provides a multi-purpose area suitable for everyday needs, including a boot room, office, bedroom five, and a bathroom. At the end of this wing is a self-contained annex, complete with a living room with kitchen, a double bedroom, and an en-suite.
Although most of the accommodation is located on the ground floor, there is a first-floor bedroom suite above the entertainment area. This luxurious space features exposed timbers, ample room for a bedroom suite, a dressing area, and an en-suite shower room.
The grounds of Willoughby's Barn are distinct from many properties in the area and provide a perfect retreat to unwind and enjoy the tranquil setting. The property is located at the end of a no through road and accessed via Willoughby’s Lane, past the old farmhouse, leading to a gated driveway with ample parking within a courtyard. The courtyard provides access to a large carport and the sizable workshop, along with a separate home office. The plot extends to approximately 3 acres with the majority of the level gardens being situated on the southern section of the plot, enclosed by hedge boundaries and split into paddocks which would lend itself to somebody looking for an equestrian property. An outdoor entertaining area, complete with a covered BBQ / seating area, and swimming pool, offers an ideal space for gatherings. Another excellent addition is the contemporary garden office, strategically located to offer views of the garden, provides a perfect work-from-home space. At the rear of the barn, a stable block, currently housing alpacas, adds to the rural feel. Additionally, a small basketball court is located behind the workshop.
It’s also worth noting the workshop offers excellent scope to be repurposed in additional living accommodation, annex or recreation space if needed.
