Description

A rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy and refined country living without sacrificing the comforts and conveniences of modern life. Nestled amidst the rolling Essex countryside, within almost three acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, Braford Barn is an exceptional luxury barn conversion forming part of the exclusive Bushett Rise development by an award-winning developer.

Offering approximately 3,500 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation, this remarkable residence effortlessly combines the timeless character of traditional barn architecture with contemporary elegance and modern comfort. Exposed beams, generous proportions and thoughtfully designed interiors create a home of understated sophistication.

At the heart of the property lies an impressive open plan kitchen, living and dining space, perfectly suited to both everyday family life and entertaining. Expansive bi-fold doors seamlessly connect the interiors with the surrounding gardens, while a separate characterful reception room provides a more intimate retreat. A utility room, guest cloakroom and versatile ground-floor room with en-suite shower facilities complete the accommodation on this level.

Upstairs, three beautifully proportioned bedrooms each benefit from en-suite facilities, including a particularly private suite accessed via its own staircase, complete with a dedicated dressing room.

The property’s expansive grounds provide an idyllic haven of peace and privacy, with wonderful opportunities for outdoor entertaining, relaxation and enjoying the surrounding countryside.

A separate, self-contained annexe, comprising a bedroom, shower room and open-plan kitchen and living area, offers exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family or working from home. A gated driveway, double garage and ample parking further enhance the property’s appeal.

Despite its wonderfully secluded atmosphere, Braford Barn is conveniently positioned for access to the thriving market town of Great Dunmow and its picturesque surrounding villages, offering an excellent selection of boutiques, restaurants, traditional country pubs and everyday amenities. With convenient connections towards London, Cambridge and the wider region, the property offers the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and modern convenience. A property that truly must be viewed to be fully appreciated, where the best of both worlds becomes a way of life.
