Brentwood

In a convenient semi-rural location this imposing Grade II Listed Farmhouse, which dates back to the 16th Century with later additions, offers spacious accommodation having been well maintained and styled throughout. Within the 4.6 acres of undulating gardens is a detached stable block which has planning granted to convert into an Annex, a sizeable Barn and double garage with views over open countryside.

Approached by a gated entrance into a gravelled driveway sweeping round to a parking area and the double garage – this area is screened by hedging from the gardens behind. A landscaped area with pathway leads up to the entrance to the property and into the welcoming entrance hall with limestone floor and feature brick fireplace. The main dual aspect reception room has a feature fireplace, a wealth of exposed beams and a timber floor. The dining room has a feature window flooding the room with natural light and an external door. An inner hallway features the staircase leading up to the first floor and a study/snug. There is also a door into a cloakroom area with storage cupboards and ground floor wc. Beyond is the bespoke kitchen/breakfast/family room which is a stunning space for entertaining with a seating area with solid oak beams, double doors overlooking the garden and a central island with wine fridge and breakfast bar. The kitchen features ample fitted units with quartz work surfaces.

To the first floor the principal bedroom showcases the exposed timbers within the property and offers a dressing area and feature fireplace with woodburning stove for cosy winter nights – opposite is a shower room. The three further double bedrooms all feature built-in wardrobes and the family bathroom is beautifully styled with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

Waterhales Farm is set within a plot of approx. 4.6 acres of landscaped gardens with a large Lake with bridge to the island. The black weatherboarded former Stable block, under a pitched tiled roof, offers ample storage and is currently used as a gym, with the double garage at one end, accessed from the drive (planning to convert into an Annex), power and water are connected. The gardens are landscaped with an abundance of mature trees and shrubs offering potential for paddock land for Equestrian use. To the rear of the plot is an area of woodland

A separate access from the road leads up to the Barn at the far end of the plot – this Agricultural Barn provides machinery storage with a roller shutter door for security and provides potential storage for other uses (power is connected). There is also a smaller barn/workshop adjacent.

There is an abundance of open countryside surrounding the property, which offers easy access of main road links, rail services and shopping, schools and leisure venues at nearby Brentwood, Romford, Chigwell with Stapleford Abbotts Gold Club with Weald Country Park and Brentwood Golf Club on your doorstep.
