Property description
State-of-the-art living within a listed building on a private rural estate.
Description
An incredible barn conversion set within the prestigious Wardens Hall estate, boasting approximately 5,000 sq. ft of opulent, light-filled living space.The barn was expertly converted in 2018 to create a superb, spacious contemporary home designed with huge windows to take advantage of its unique location.
The impressive proportions of the barn are immediately apparent upon entering the double-height reception room with a concealed wine store. The open-plan feel continues into the kitchen/breakfast room, the focal point for day-to-day living, with a bespoke kitchen and large central island unit.Designed with light and views in mind, a glass wall provides far-reaching views and direct access onto the terrace.Alongside is the hugely impressive principal reception room which has two-storey glazing and a distinctive timber vaulted ceiling with a zoned TV area at one end. The room includes a bespoke glass-framed staircase at its centre and beneath is a cosy sitting room with full-height glazing providing a good deal of natural light.A wing on the ground floor hosts a utility room and four bedrooms (two en-suite ) including an impressive principal bedroom with dressing room area and bathroom. There is a further bedroom on the first floor - a spacious room with part-vaulted ceiling, plenty of built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. In addition, there is a mezzanine galleried games room with a glass balustrade overlooking the ground floor.
Externally the barn is approached by a drive, which also serves a handful of other period and modern country houses, extends to approximately 250m and is gated. The barn stands in front of a substantial courtyard, retained by red-brick walls. At the centre of the drive is a detached traditional outbuilding, providing additional storage space for bicycles or sports equipment, with IT connection. The gardens and grounds extend to 3.8 acres within a lovely stretch of Essex Countryside. Behind the barn are open countryside views beyond the property’s gardens and grounds.Designed for al fresco dining, the areas behind the house include hard and soft landscaping and a contemporary modular garden room. The remainder of the land has been laid to grass with a wild meadow gently sloping down to a lake with a floating jetty and a 'shepherd's hut' style garden room.
