4 bed detached house for sale

Shenfield Gardens, Hutton, Brentwood CM13

A most charming and characterful 1925 built four bedroom detached property, situated on extensive and very well tended, southerly 0.437 acre gardens. This appealing house successfully blends period features with the luxuries of modern day living and offers significant scope to further enlarge, subject to the usual planning consents. Located within just half a mile of Shenfield mainline railway station and Crossrail terminus, good local schools are just a short walk away.

The sitting room is dual elevation, with a window to the front and French doors that open to the 260' deep southerly rear garden. A feature cast iron fire place with decorative marble surround and slate hearth offers an attractive focal point. The dining room is bright and spacious and situated at the front of the property. This room draws light from a large window to the front and like the entire property, benefits from a wealth of characterful features, such as a picture rail and another delightful fireplace.

The kitchen/breakfast room has been comprehensively fitted with a range of limed chestnut units that comprise base cupboards, drawers and matching wall units along three walls. A breakfast bar provides casual dining for two, with views of the rear garden and surrounding woodland. This is all complemented by a country style terracotta tiled floor. The adjoining utility area offers an excellent companion to the kitchen, with space and plumbing for domestic appliances and a continuation of the tiled floor from the kitchen/breakfast room. A door opens to a south westerly rear garden sun terrace, which is bathed in sunshine, throughout virtually the entire day. The cloakroom is accessed from the entrance hall.

The first floor comprises four well proportioned bedrooms that are serviced by two bath/shower rooms. The primary bedroom has the benefit of a dressing area, that opens to the en-suite shower room. Bedroom two has windows to both the front and side elevations, the latter drawing the morning easterly light.

As previously mentioned, the rear garden is a most attractive feature. It has a depth of 260' and a width of 80', as measured across the rear elevation of the house. The entire plot measures 0.437 acre and has a southerly elevation. It commences with a paved terrace, that opens to a well tended lawn that extends the entire depth of the plot. The plot is situated at the end of the road and flanked by woodland to one side boundary. Mature hedgerow divides the formal gardens and a pergola opens to an additonal expanse of garden screened by mature laurel and hedgerow. This has been planted with a varied assortment of mature shrubs, plants and ornamental trees, all serving to create a magnificent garden environment.

The plot is very broad and in fact, the property occupies a frontage to the road of 93'. Partially screened from the road by mature hedgerow, a brick paviour driveway offers off street parking for multiple vehicles and this leads to an integrated garage.
