The Street, Salcott, CM9

Church View is a sixteenth century barn, aptly named, owing to the ‘Norman’ Church on the opposite side of this quiet lane. This exceptional home has been expertly renovated to a high and exacting standard with meticulous attention to detail.

Upon entering the reception hall you are taken aback by the view of the vaulted ceiling. Directly opposite you are presented with full height glazing and French doors leading to a secluded walled/fenced garden. A handmade oak staircase with glazed ballustrade continues upwards to a suspended walkway.

The majority of the ground floor is open-plan and offers free-flowing space from the reception hall into the sitting room, dining area and stunning ‘Davenport’ kitchen with limestone flooring. Further rooms comprise ground floor cloakroom, boot room & utility with ‘Davenport’ units, a study/snug, and two en-suite bedrooms.

Upstairs there are two generous-sized bedrooms, each with an en-suite, on either side of the suspended walkway.

Oak is the primary theme being widely used but not overdone. There are 8 inch wide, engineered boards laid to the majority of the ground floor. The windows are oak internally with an aluminium exterior frame. Bespoke, internal, solid oak doors, handmade in a traditional design are complemented with handcrafted, black ironmongery.

Externally, a clay, herringbone verge crossover and five bar, oak gate, leads to a driveway of natural stone chippings and a triple bay cart lodge/garage. Bespoke oak fencing and feature brick wall enclose the rear garden, which is laid to turf and features a large limestone patio area.

Sustainability has played a big part in the developer's thought process. Solar panels power the air source heat pump and electric car charging point with the remainder supplying energy for storage in a 5kw battery, rather than going straight to the National Grid.

Church View can be found in the semi-rural coastal village of Salcott, which is situated within a few minutes walk of the picturesque sea wall and RSPB Old Hall Marshes. A children’s play area and recreation ground are also located within a stone’s throw of this property. The local village hall, which has been recently refurbished, can seat around 50 people. It is suitable for business meetings, family parties, fitness classes and lunch clubs.

Salcott is equidistant to the historic towns of Colchester and Maldon and only a few miles from Tiptree, home of the world famous Wilkin and Sons Jam Factory and Tea Rooms. The beaches of Mersea Island are a mere 7.8 miles away. The Five Lakes Resort is less than one mile away and boasts two full-size, championship golf courses.
