Description

Being Sold via Secure Sale | Terms & Conditions Apply | Starting Offers: £875,000

Chain Free | Grade II Listed Barn Conversion* | Approx. 4,969 sq ft | Approx. ½ Acre Plot
An exceptional Grade II* listed barn conversion, beautifully finished to a high specification and offering approximately 4,969 sq ft of versatile living accommodation set within a plot of around half an acre. Combining striking period character with contemporary luxury, this impressive home provides generous living and entertaining space across three floors.

The welcoming entrance hall leads into a stunning bespoke kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of integrated Bosch appliances, including two dishwashers, two wine fridges, a coffee machine, oven and warming drawer. A feature breakfast bar forms the heart of the kitchen, complemented by two separate seating areas, creating the perfect space for both everyday family life and entertaining.

The spectacular open-plan living area occupies much of the ground floor, where the original exposed beams naturally define a variety of reception spaces while maintaining an impressive sense of openness. Double doors open directly onto the spacious rear courtyard, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

The bedroom accommodation is thoughtfully positioned at the opposite end of the ground floor, providing a peaceful and private retreat away from the main living areas. The impressive principal suite features a dressing area, direct access to a private patio, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom complete with a freestanding roll-top bath and separate shower.

Three further generous double bedrooms are served by two additional bathrooms. Two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom, while the fourth enjoys its own en-suite shower room. A utility room and guest cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

A striking staircase rises to the first floor, where a substantial reception room offers a more intimate living space, enhanced by extensive walk-in eaves storage. A further staircase leads to the second floor, where a dedicated study provides an ideal home office or quiet workspace.

Outside, the property is approached via a private gravel driveway providing parking for several vehicles. Attractive decking and seating areas to the front overlook a picturesque pond, while a separate lawned garden sits opposite the barn. To the rear, a generous enclosed courtyard garden is accessed from several sets of patio doors, including those from the principal bedroom and the main living space, creating an excellent setting for outdoor entertaining.

Location
The sought-after village of Broxted enjoys an enviable rural setting between the popular market town of Great Dunmow and the historic town of Thaxted, both offering an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities.

The area is particularly well regarded for its excellent educational provision, with a range of highly regarded state and independent schools nearby, including Helena Romanes School, Bishop's Stortford College, Felsted School, Saffron Walden County High School, Chelmsford County High School for Girls and King Edward VI Grammar School.

The nearby village of Great Easton also offers a popular primary school, while Takeley, approximately four miles away, provides additional local amenities, schools and public houses.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, the ancient National Trust woodland of Hatfield Forest and the historic Flitch Way are both close by, offering miles of scenic walking, cycling and riding routes.

Excellent transport links are available via the nearby A120, providing convenient access to the M11 motorway, Cambridge, the M25, London and Stansted Airport.
