Property details

Bedrooms: 7

An attractive former Rectory with an annexe bungalow located close to the centre of the village in a delightful elevated situation in about 6.5 acres.

The present owners have added a substantial detached bungalow annexe linked just through the conservatory and finished to a high standard with matching bespoke brickwork. An ideal home for two families. Heritage House appears at first site to be a large Georgian house built with traditional red brick sash windows with a clay tiled roof. However, it was actually built in 1939 and there is an inscription stone dedicated by Henry, Bishop of Chelmsford “who blessed this house on 14th December 1939” for the rector who was TDS Bayley. The builders even went to the trouble of using 2” thick bricks, which were the size used in early Georgian times.

The reception hall is ‘L’ shaped with sweeping staircase leading up to the first floor with light coming down from the large window on the half landing. This hallway leads to all the main rooms. The drawing room has French doors with fanlight above and south facing sash windows to the side overlooking the geometric gardens and fields beyond and a further arched sash window to the rear overlooking the terrace and paddock. There is a fine original white marble heavy fireplace with matching hearth and mantelpiece with working fireplace.

The fine brick and modern timber conservatory faces south and east with views across the terrace and the gardens beyond and has wide gap double glazed windows and roof panels, a pair of French doors, four opening fanlights and limestone style floor tiling having under floor heating.
The sitting room is a charming room at the corner of the house with sash windows to the front and side looking over the geometric box hedge gardens, front lawn and drive and there is a pretty cast iron open Victorian style fireplace. A cloakroom leads off the hall with plenty of room for coats.
A study/lobby connects the hall and the kitchen, with a sash window to the front. There is a double aspect kitchen/breakfast room with sash windows to the front and side overlooking the main lawn and drive. Fitted with a range of shaker style wall and base cupboards all around with spiral pewter handles and with granite effect laminate work surfaces with multi coloured tiled splash backs.
