Late Victorian house in approximately 2.45 acres available for the first time in 50 years.
Description
This handsome Victorian house is available for the first time since 1974, located in one of the most exclusive postcodes in Essex. Known for its leafy lanes, Fryerning and Ingatestone epitomise accessible village living within a rural atmosphere. There is a pleasant walk from the house into Ingatestone village, or by car in 0.6 miles.
The house, now in need of some modernisation, is set on a wonderful mature plot stocked with spring flowers, colourful mature shrubs and many ancient oaks. The house is orientated south, so that the principal bedroom and reception room has views over its gardens and grounds. A spur drive provides access to a red-brick detached coach house.
An open storm porch with red-brick arch shelters a substantial entrance door. The hallway includes a fine staircase and access to the principal reception rooms.
At the front of the house, overlooking the front drive and gardens, are the two main reception rooms. The drawing room has a twin aspect with full-height windows looking south over the property’s private valley gardens and grounds. The room has high ceilings and a fireplace. Double doors open into a study, again with a full-height south-facing window. On the opposite side of the hall is a separate dining room, dual aspect with high ceilings and deep windows. At the rear of the hall is a boiler room, WC and door onto the rear terrace. The kitchen is open plan to a breakfast area, fitted with base and eye level units. A rear hall is accessed from a secondary entrance door at the side of the house into a boot room. Beyond is a cloakroom, utility room and a cosy sitting room overlooking the terrace and gardens beyond.
The bedrooms are over two floors with mezzanine levels in between. On the first floor are three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a cloakroom. The principal bedroom has a dressing room and en suite. On the second floor are three further bedrooms and a bathroom.
Outside
There are two drive-in entrances and one pedestrian entrance from Fryerning Lane. The main gravel drive leads to a substantial parking area in front of the house and spurs to the north to further parking, a second drive and the coach house. The gardens and grounds are initially elevated and overlook a shallow private valley. The borders of the grounds are planted with mature deciduous trees and ancient oaks. There are hundreds of spring bulbs, mainly daffodils and bluebells. In addition, peonies, rhododendron, azaleas, and Japanese maple, making for a stunning and colourful display in the spring and early summer. The plot offers extensive lawns, a meadow between farmland, woodland knitted together with winding pathways and beautiful views across to Fryerning Church. To the west of the house is a substantial terrace adjacent to an in-ground pool. The coach house, built around the same time as the house, offers the potential as a detached annexe, subject to planning permission. It comprises two large principal rooms and two secondary, with ladder access to a loft.
