Chickney Road, Henham, Essex, CM22

The Engine House is an attractively located and well-maintained family home constructed of weatherboarding and brick under a slate roof. The barn is a modern construction but is curtilage Listed as it is in the former grounds of Henham Lodge.

The well-equipped accommodation is partially open plan and arranged over two floors and includes an entrance hall with oak flooring and an under stair storage cupboard, cloakroom, two ground floor en suite bedrooms, both with access to the garden. At the rear of the barn there is a kitchen with a generous range of storage cupboards, recess for American style fridge/freezer, range cooker with double oven and five gas rings, integrated dishwasher, plumbing for a washing machine, Travertine flooring and doors to the terrace. The kitchen opens to a sitting/dining room with a Stovax wood burning stove.

On the first floor there is an impressive mezzanine with some of the original agricultural pulleys and there are open views over farm and woodland. There are two double bedrooms on this floor, one with an airing cupboard, both served by a family bathroom. There is under floor heating throughout the ground floor and radiators on the first floor.

Outside, across the courtyard there is a full height double garage with light and power which could provide additional storage. In addition, there are two allocated parking spaces to the front of the barn and a further generous area of unallocated parking and neatly clipped lawns and hornbeam hedging. There are a number of footpaths in the vicinity leading to surprisingly unspoilt countryside.

Agents note: There is an £80 per month management charge covering the communal areas and maintenance of the drainage system.
