4 bed detached house for sale

Magdalen Laver, Ongar, Essex CM5

Molmans Barn is situated in attractive open countryside and has origins believed to date back to the 16th century. A predominantly timber framed building with weatherboarded elevations under a tiled roof and converted by highly regarded local builders about 30 years ago, the barn is Grade II Listed considered to be of architectural and historical merit. There are many notable features including a grand drawing room with a vaulted roof, an open fireplace and stairs leading to a well equipped office. The kitchen/breakfast room is one of the key rooms of the house and has recently been re-fitted to a high standard with extensive granite work surfaces and a generous range of appliances. Leading off the kitchen there is a dining or breakfast room. The master bedroom suite is situated on the ground floor and has a dressing room and en suite shower room. The original accommodation was laid out with five bedrooms, but the current owners have amalgamated two of the bedrooms. There are therefore currently four bedrooms served by four bath/shower rooms.

Attached to the house at the rear there is an open bay cart store which has planning consent to provide a sizeable extension approximately 6.02m x 3.04m (19'9 x 10') which is intended to provide a recreation room, but could be used in a number of ways (annexe, studio) The grounds are well established. At the back of the house there are terraces, a large pond with water feature and beyond, a meadow or lawn presently used for recreational purposes, but which could provide a small paddock.
