Park Cottage is a beautifully situated period property set along a no

through road within walking distance of the amenities of this highly

regarded and sought after North Essex village.

The property has been greatly improved and enhanced by the

current owners and now affords exceptionally versatile and

characterful accommodation arranged over two floors.

Of note is the impressive reception hall with a solid oak door and

flagstone floors. The heart of the home is formed by an exceptional

kitchen/breakfast/dining room which runs nearly the entire length

of the house. This room takes in stunning views to the gardens and

beyond and provides both formal and informal family entertaining

space. There are an extensive range of units with oak butchers

block work surfaces with an ‘Esse’ range set within attractive

brickwork with an oak lintel above. Further appliances include a

‘Neff’ oven/grill and induction hob, dishwasher and wine cooler.

There is extensive oak flooring to the area and exposed timber work

on display. There is a large walk-in pantry and a stable door directly

accessing the South facing terrace.

There are two further formal reception rooms, one of which is a

charming sitting room with an impressive fireplace and exposed oak

framework. Directly from here is a cosy snug/playroom which

benefits from views to the gardens and exposed framework.

Accessed from the reception hall is a fantastic games room with

solid oak flooring and a wood burning stove set upon slate hearth

and French doors access the entertaining area and stairs rising to

the first floor and annexe. The remainder of the ground floor

comprises a study, utility room, laundry room and cloakroom.

The first floor is accessed via a winding staircase leading to the

galleried landing accessing four bedrooms in the original part of the

property. These all have extensive wardrobe space and take in

delightful views to the grounds and countryside beyond with the

principal suite benefiting from a stylish en-suite shower room with

exposed red brick work, painted floorboards and a large vanity unit

with an oval wash hand basin. The three remaining bedrooms are

served by a family bathroom.

The first floor to the annexe is accessed via stairs rising from the

games room which ascend to a snug area off which is a large walk-in

wardrobe. A ledge and brace door leads to a large double bedroom

with windows taking in roofline views of the village beyond. This is

complemented by a large bath/shower room with extensive storage.

Outside

The grounds of the property are a true delight and to the front there

is mature native hedging providing a high degree of privacy. Behind

this is a large expanse of gravel which provides extensive parking and

an attractive winding sandstone path leads to the impressive

entrance.

Professionally landscaped beds boast a variety of shrubs and

miniature trees and access to the garage is afforded to the front of

the property.

The rear gardens are especially attractive with a covered entertaining

area accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room. Beyond this is a large

sandstone terrace which benefits from a South and West facing

aspect enabling it to take advantage of the all day sun. This is flanked

are flanked by mature hedging and a number of trees and shrubs

provide focal points.
