Perfectly positioned at the end of a private avenue of detached homes, this elegant residence is approached via impressive electric wrought iron gates and a privacy wall adorned with Bath stone pier caps. Offering a rare sense of seclusion and exclusivity, it is set within one of Braintree’s most sought-after residential areas. The location combines tranquillity with convenience — just moments from the town centre, highly regarded schools, local shops, and Braintree station, which offers regular services to London Liverpool Street — making it ideal for both family living and commuting.
Upon entering the welcoming reception hallway, you are greeted by American solid oak flooring, classic picture rails, and a grand staircase with a glass balustrade leading to the first floor. Original Crittall doors open into the principal rooms, while a stylish cloakroom completes the ground floor.
The expansive kitchen is designed as a sociable space, fitted with an extensive range of high-quality units and granite worktops that extend to a breakfast bar. An adjoining utility room provides space for white goods and leads directly to the rear garden.
There are two elegant reception rooms, perfect for entertaining. The light-filled living room features a limestone fireplace with a log burner — an inviting space to relax year-round. The formal dining room showcases the distinguished past of this former Mayor’s residence, with original 1920s panelling and a striking fireplace. A charming morning room links the two main receptions, offering a peaceful spot to enjoy elevated views of the garden and surrounding woodland.
Upstairs, you'll find four spacious double bedrooms. The principal suite includes a hidden en-suite and access to a private sun terrace. The luxurious family bathroom features a large walk-in shower and a freestanding bath. The top floor has been thoughtfully converted into a generous home office or hobby room, complete with its own en-suite.
Outside
The property sits within approaching 1.5 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and natural woodland. Highlights include manicured lawns, multiple patio areas, a summer house, and storage sheds. A gated driveway provides vehicular access to a detached garage and a striking three-bay oak-framed cart lodge, offering ample parking and covered storage.
Planning Permission
While the property already offers substantial accommodation, the current owners have secured planning permission (Ref: 22/00593/HH) for a significant two-storey extension, presenting an exciting opportunity to further enhance the living space and add long-term value.
