Description

A stunning country retreat, a property with a lot to offer. The combination of modern luxury and historical charm, thanks to its proximity to Prested Hall, is truly appealing. a contemporary and stylish residence while externally retaining its 1930s-inspired character. Privacy and space are the two key features.

This superb detached country home is an incredible hidden gem. Six bedrooms, five bathrooms including three en-suite in the main house, four reception rooms, high end fitted kitchen with diner, and separate utility. Outside is a double garage with annexe bedroom and en-suite above.

Accommodation is approximately 4,015 square feet and set in grounds of around 0.5 acre.
Tucked away down a private road, with only four neighbours, properties of individual styles, all enjoying their own privacy. Positioned in a beautiful parkland location in the grounds of 15th Century Prested Hall (that includes a health and leisure complex).

This home has undergone a complete refurbishment to an extremely high specification throughout. When built, around 2000, to emulate a 1930s property, it was constructed to a high standard. However, when acquired by the current owners it was in need of some major refurbishment. No expense has been spared to lift this house from being unloved and lost into a modern, bright, airy and stylish home.

The substantial refurbishment has added considerable value and now it gives shame to many similar size new build properties. There is additional value to be added via he existing planning permission for a ‘wrap around’ extension nearing an additional 1,000 sq ft, and the existing garage could be incorporated with the annexe bedroom above to create more extensive annexe accommodation (subject to planning).

Conveniently located for access to the main transport links. Walking distance to local amenities, including local shop, main line station, five public houses and a good range of shops and services in the village of Kelvedon.
