Description
Ideally located just 300m from Witham train station, offering regular fast trains to London, this home is perfect for commuters and homeworkers alike. Situated in the highly sought-after Chipping Hill conservation area, with easy access to amenities The Old House blends history and modern living. Dating back to C1600, with sympathetic extensions, this beautifully maintained Grade II listed property offers character and charm alongside contemporary conveniences.
The ground floor comprises a cosy living room with exposed beams, brickwork and a working open fireplace, plus a second reception room, currently used as a children's playroom but equally suited as a dining room. The kitchen/diner features bespoke Shaker-style cabinetry, crafted by renowned local makers Humphrey Munson, an electric Aga and underfloor heating. A welcome addition is the striking sunroom with double height ceiling, adding further light and space.
Upstairs, there are three generous double bedrooms, including a dual aspect principal bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and loft room access. Bedrooms two and three feature built-in wardrobes and open fireplaces (not in use). The stylish bathroom includes a waterfall shower and underfloor heating.
The wonderful south-facing garden, complete with a well-appointed garden office, offers a tranquil retreat and an exceptional outdoor living space. Set on about 0.41 acres (sts), the plot includes a double garage and three additional parking spaces. A large patio with a wisteria adorned pergola, provides outdoor dining and seating areas. There are two sheds, a greenhouse and a vegetable patch. Beyond a garden gate lies another large area with a fire pit and fruit trees. The River Brain forms the southern boundary.
