Description

This property is a unique part of a refined conversion from traditional brick barns, showcasing a harmonious blend of rustic character with modern comforts. The home features original elements like exposed beams and brickwork, alongside a striking vaulted reception area that enhances its charm. With the added advantage of no onward chain, there's significant potential for expansion by developing the loft space into additional living areas (subject to planning permissions). Nestled in the desirable rural setting of Stanford Rivers yet just a short drive from Ongar, Epping, and Brentwood, this residence benefits from good transport connections while enjoying a serene countryside atmosphere. The layout spans two levels and provides four generously sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by a flexible loft area. The kitchen is custom-designed for both family gatherings and entertaining, equipped with premium appliances including a range cooker and wine fridge. It opens onto a courtyard garden—an ideal spot for outdoor dining. The main reception room boasts an impressive vaulted ceiling and a striking brick chimney that features a log burner, making it perfect for cozy evenings. The property's exterior includes an attractive walled courtyard garden with thoughtful landscaping and lighting for year-round use. Additionally, residents can enjoy shared green spaces and have access to secure parking through a double garage. Given its prime location near local amenities in Ongar and excellent schools such as Ongar Primary and Brentwood School, this property not only offers immediate comfort but also presents considerable investment potential through future renovations and expansions.
