Billericay property with swimming pool and 25 acres on market for just shy of £4million

The seven-bedroom detached house has come to the market and has everything you could wish for.

It occupies an idyllic setting with a 110m shared drive and an electric gated entrance.

The house, which is listed Grade II and dates from 1395 with 17th and 21st century additions, sits in its own grounds, which are partly moated and extend to about 25 acres surrounded by attractive countryside.

You will find an entrance hall which allows a glimpse through the house to the enticing views beyond and gives access to the sitting room, home cinema, drawing room and kitchen.

The sitting room features beautiful exposed timbers, fitted book shelves and a red-brick fireplace, while the home cinema has a fixed screen for use with an overhead projector.

The elegant drawing room boasts a beautiful stone fireplace with wood burner, along with double doors that flood the room with light and provide access onto a covered veranda overlooking the grounds.

The kitchen showcases a custom-built kitchen and the open plan family area has a roof lantern, four sets of double doors opening onto the terrace and the view over the meadows beyond.

You will also discover access to a secondary staircase leading up to a first floor cloakroom, utility room and dining or children's playroom.

The master bedroom, complete with an en suite dressing room, offers double doors opening onto a 30ft wide balcony overlooking the moat and meadows beyond.

Another double bedroom also has an en suite shower room and the three other double bedrooms enjoy the use of a family bathroom.

A second staircase leading up from the landing features some magnificent exposed timbers and a double bedroom with vaulted ceiling, a study and a shower room – creating an ideal space for an annexe or independent living area.

An area of woodland within the grounds offers two notable outbuildings, along with an enclosed swimming pool.

A listed moat surrounding the house has a water flow controlled pump and a bridge over to the meadows belonging to the property.

But that’s not all as there is a detached timber framed Essex barn opposite the house, including additional garaging.

A detached single-storey annexe offers versatile accommodation, with a kitchen and living area along with three bedrooms, a bathroom and gym.

With a host of schools nearby, rail services can also be found at Billericay, Wickford, Chelmsford and Shenfield, with Crossrail due at Shenfield.
