Entering the main house through a glazed front door, you are greeted with a spacious entrance hall with a turned staircase leading to the first floor and access to the dual aspect sitting room, which features wood flooring, French doors to the rear garden, and additional doors to the conservatory. From here, another set of doors opens into the dining room.

The adjacent annexe has its own private entrance, leading to a hallway with two double bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor.

This floor also includes another bedroom, a shower room, and access to a converted loft area, perfect for use as an office or additional bedroom. The annexe enjoys a private garden and parking, making it an ideal rental opportunity or guest suite.
Note: The annexe could easily be reintegrated with the main house if desired.

Additional timber gates open onto a walled garden that wraps around the home, with a lawned area bordered by mature shrubs and plantings, while the rear garden features a paved area perfect for outdoor entertaining.

Location
Braintree was issued a Market Charter by King John in 1199, and ever since then market days have become a focal point of the town. They occur twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays in the pleasantly pedestrianized (and recently refurbished) Market Place.
Braintree retains a good collection of historic buildings, including the listed timber-framed properties in the conservation area in the town centre.
For commuters the town has a direct connection to London Liverpool Street, taking around one hour and is approx. 12 miles to Stansted Airport and the M11.
Close by there are plenty of opportunities for walks and riding and of particular note is the nearby Great Notley Country Park which covers some 100 acres of open space.
A variety of activities and events are held throughout the year. Families can picnic or fly kites or, for the more energetic, there is an all-weather, multi-activity, floodlit pitch and two grass football pitches. There's also an excellent visitor centre, housed in the award-winning Discovery Centre.
The region boasts a significant number of secondary and primary schools as well as colleges and nurseries. There are well-renowned private schools within easy reach and some of the country’s leading grammar schools in Colchester and Chelmsford.
