Description

This property is part of an appealing conversion of historic barn structures, featuring traditional brickwork alongside sleek black weatherboarding and functioning chimneys. It harmoniously blends rustic elements with modern amenities, showcasing original touches such as exposed beams and a striking vaulted living area. The home presents an opportunity for customization, especially with the loft space that could be transformed into additional living quarters, pending planning permission. Nestled in the desirable rural neighborhood of Stanford Rivers, it offers a tranquil lifestyle while remaining close to bustling Ongar, Epping, and Brentwood. This advantageous location provides excellent transport options while preserving a serene countryside ambiance. The layout extends over two levels with four spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. A bespoke kitchen designed for family gatherings includes a handy utility room and cloakroom/WC, merging style with functionality. The entrance hallway leads to ground floor sleeping quarters and a well-appointed bathroom alongside the inviting living area, where a full-height exposed brick chimney breast adds warmth with its feature log burner. The thoughtfully designed kitchen/breakfast area features built-in appliances and opens onto a private courtyard garden—an ideal setting for alfresco dining or quiet mornings outdoors. The ground floor hosts three generously sized bedrooms while the principal suite is located on the first floor, complete with an en-suite shower room. Access to the loft room via separate wooden steps adds versatile functional space that could serve as additional accommodation if expanded appropriately. A charming walled courtyard garden provides an attractive outdoor environment complete with patio lighting and heating options for year-round enjoyment. Residents also benefit from access to communal lawned grounds and secure parking within a double garage block. This property is offered with no onward chain and is freehold, benefiting from shared private drainage management at an affordable annual fee. Conveniently situated just minutes from Ongar High Street and close to various local amenities including shops and schools like Ongar Primary School and Brentwood School, this property is not only perfect for families but also presents substantial potential for future enhancement through renovation.
