3 bed detached house for sale

Wicken Road, Wicken Bonhunt, Saffron Walden, Essex CB11

Bonhunt Lodge was originally an agricultural barn adjoining Bonhunt House. The barn was converted by the present owners to a high standard and was originally used as a meeting venue and in 2011 consent was granted to convert the property into a house. The house was then used by a family member as a home for many years.

Bonhunt Lodge is a building of significant character with a most impressive entrance hallway with a vaulted ceiling, a family room with exposed brick and timber work, a well-equipped kitchen and adjoining utility room and the most spacious drawing room. An attractive glazed link runs along most of the back of the property with bi-folding doors out to the garden.

On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, a large landing which would make an excellent study and then two bath/shower rooms.

To the right of the barn there is an integral single garage, and behind the barn an area of lawn with a number of maturing trees. There is parking both in front and beside the barn for four/five vehicles.

Agents note: The property is accessed via a timber field gates along a good farm track owned by the Quendon Estate. We understand that a remote controlled gate will be erected in agreement with the estate fairly shortly.

The barn is presently empty and therefore early vacant possession is available for anybody who wants to move quickly.

The adjoining property, Bonhunt House is on the market and is in the same ownership as Bonhunt Lodge.

Wicken bonhunt is a well regarded small North Essex village with its fine church and public house, and is situated midway between the villages of Newport and Clavering. Clavering offers an excellent local shop/post office, inns and restaurant, and Newport provides a further range of amenities, including schools and shops, and mainline station to London (Liverpool Street). The historic market town of Saffron Walden lies some six miles away and offers a more comprehensive range of social, recreational and educational facilities. To the north, Audley End mainline station is about 2.5 miles distant, running regular services to London's Liverpool Street (approx 55 minutes), and to the South, Stansted Mountifchet (in approx 45 mins). The M.11 motorway can be accessed at either Duxford or Bishops Stortford.
