Description
Guide Price £1,500,000 - £1,650,000
Occupying an exceptional and highly private position on the outskirts of the sought-after village of Bicknacre, Broom Hall is an impressive Edwardian country home dating from circa 1905, combining substantial family accommodation, extensive ancillary buildings and approximately two acres of established grounds with outstanding views across the surrounding Essex countryside.
Approached through electric entrance gates and along an attractive tree-lined driveway, the property sits well back from the road, creating an immediate sense of privacy and seclusion. A high level of security throughout the property and grounds further enhances its appeal for buyers seeking discretion and peace of mind.
The main residence extends to approximately 3,104 sq ft and retains a wealth of character and period detail reflective of its Edwardian heritage.
An impressive reception hall creates a striking entrance and leads to four well-proportioned reception rooms, providing excellent flexibility for both family living and entertaining. Generous proportions, natural light and attractive outlooks give the home a strong sense of space and connection with its surroundings.
The kitchen/breakfast room provides an inviting heart to the property and is complemented by a separate utility room, with the ground floor offering an excellent balance of practicality, character and entertaining space.Upstairs are four generous double bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from its own dressing room and en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms provide excellent accommodation for family and guests.
The grounds are one of Broom Hall's defining features. Extending to approximately two acres, mature gardens surround the property and provide a wonderful sense of seclusion, while the rear enjoys impressive far-reaching views over the adjoining countryside. A heated outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi create a superb focal point within the gardens and an excellent space for entertaining and relaxing during the warmer months.Broom Hall also benefits from an impressive range of additional accommodation and outbuildings. A fully refurbished detached annexe provides valuable independent living space, ideal for extended family, guests or staff. There is also a separate gym/home office, offering a dedicated space for working from home or training, together with a substantial triple garage providing secure parking and storage.
Despite its secluded setting, Broom Hall remains conveniently positioned for the amenities of Bicknacre and surrounding villages, with straightforward access towards Chelmsford and the wider Essex road network.
With its Edwardian architecture, two-acre setting, ancillary accommodation, outdoor swimming pool, high-level security and exceptional countryside views, Broom Hall represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly private country home in an attractive semi-rural setting.
