Applegates is a stunning family home enjoying a superb setting on the

periphery of this well regarded North Essex village. The current owners

have completely refurbished the property and it has been thoughtfully

extended and now provides fantastic family accommodation which

combines a high degree of practicality and versatility. Of particular note is

the vaulted and galleried reception hall which creates a vast space flooded

with light and it has attractive pamment flooring and a beautiful Elm

staircase rising to the first floor. A square arch directly accesses the

impressive kitchen breakfast/family room which has been exquisitely

fitted by John Lewis of Hungerford with painted units and solid oak work

tops which is complemented by a substantial island unit with breakfast bar

and storage underneath and a red Rangemaster cooker. The kitchen

benefits from French doors which directly access the South and West

facing sandstone terrace which makes the house perfect for large scale

family entertaining. A square arch leads to a cosy snug which provides

further versatility and this room benefits from bespoke bookcases and

cupboards. The principal reception rooms are of a semi open plan nature

and have solid oak flooring and a wood burning stove set on a brick

hearth. These rooms again benefit from three sets of French doors two of

which lead to the garden and have stunning views whilst the other opens

to the large entertaining terrace.

There is an impressive study which provides quiet office space which is

situated to the front elevation of the property and further versatility is

added by a large guest bedroom with a dual aspect which is situated

directly opposite the lavishly appointed shower room which is fully tiled

and benefits from an oversized shower cubicle. Adjacent to this is a well-

appointed utility room which has a door to the outside and another through

to the reception hall and this is fitted with bespoke units and solid oak

work tops. The remainder of the ground floor comprises a large pantry

which is directly accessed from the kitchen and this has bespoke shelving

and cupboards beyond which is a further utility/boot room fitted with

attractively painted handmade units with solid oak worktops and has a

stable door to the garden and attractive herringbone brickwork to the floor.

An oak door leads to a further ground floor cloakroom and a square arch

gives access via a door to the double garage. Stairs then rise to the

impressive studio /games room which is situated above the garage and this

room has stunning uninterrupted views through a large picture window of

the grounds and countryside beyond. This room provides a high degree of

versatility and could readily be used as a further office if required making

it ideal for those who wish to work from home.

The first floor is equally impressive with a stunning vaulted and galleried

landing with Velux roof light with a further window giving fine views to

the terrace and grounds beyond. The master bedroom is of an impressive

size and has a large walk-in wardrobe and French doors accessing a Juliet

balcony enabling it to take advantage of the views. A six panelled door

leads to a well-appointed en-suite shower room which benefits from a

range of storage space and has an oval sink set on an elm plinth. There are

two further bedrooms on the first floor both of which are of a generous

size and benefit from bespoke wardrobes and shelving and these are

served by a well-appointed and spacious family bathroom.

Outside:

The property is approached via post and rail fencing and a five bar gate

which leads to a sweeping gravel drive which passes through a small

paddock which has attractive mixed mature hedging on its borders and a

number of young fruit trees planted in a cluster which will form an

orchard. To the other side are mature trees to include Oak and Ash. A

further post and rail fence with five bar gate segregates the main formal

garden from the paddock with the drive passing through a small tree lined

avenue giving way to a large paved parking area leading to the integral

double garage with electric doors. Directly opposite this is an attractive

storage building. There are large expanses of lawn flanking the drive and

neatly clipped mature hedging prior to accessing the house entrance. The

grounds of the property are an absolute delight and benefit from a

predominantly South and Westerly aspect enabling them to take advantage

of the all-day sun.

The gardens provide a high degree of privacy and the property benefits

from no immediate neighbours. There is a large sandstone entertaining

terrace accessed from the kitchen which is flanked by red brick walls

adjacent to which are densely stocked herb beds. The lawn flanks the

periphery of the house and in this formal sector are two mature fruit trees

along with an attractively planted spinney boasting a variety of native

specimen trees. This area provides a haven for wildlife and home to an

impressive tree house on a raised deck. The remainder of the grounds

comprise a large formal vegetable garden with raised oak sleeper beds

adjacent to which is a large chicken run and greenhouse.
