Mill House is a truly unique opportunity to acquire a fine Victorian residence that has recently undergone a high-end, bespoke refurbishment, creating a stunning property within a popular village setting. Each element of the transformation has been carefully considered and meticulously executed throughout to provide a finish rarely available.
Set under an aged oak porch is a solid oak front door that leads into the property. The entrance hall provides access into the three beautifully appointed reception rooms. On the left as you enter is the dining room, a spacious area with fireplace, inset velvet carpet with aged oak mixed width floor surround and bespoke ‘Wall of Wine’ that holds 200 bottles, built by renowned joiner Touch and cleverly designed to frame the doors leading into the kitchen. The office/library, situated opposite the dining room, provides the perfect “work from home” space, with bespoke library shelving, cabinets and log burner. The living room/cinema is the ideal room to relax and enjoy views of the garden via the bi-fold doors leading out to a patio area. The quality continues within a utility room featuring Silestone worktops, full length coats closet, blue-beige limestone flooring and will come fitted with a washing machine and spin dryer. The standout feature of the ground floor is the stunning Tom Howley bespoke kitchen, thoughtfully designed within the orangery extension, with large windows taking in wonderful views of the landscaped gardens. The quality of the kitchen speaks for itself with beautifully fitted cabinetry, top-of-the-range appliances, including a Fisher & Paykel American-style double fridge freezer, full height Caple wine cooler, Miele coffee machine, Miele dishwasher, Perrin & Rowe mixer tap and Quooker classic polished nickel tap, both set on a Kohler double sink. A Lyra Silestone Island unit creates a focal point and extends across to a handmade seating area set on top of the beautiful Italian Mazzano marble tiled flooring.
On the first floor the standard of the property continues across the four bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite comprises a bedroom with vaulted ceiling, exposed oak A-frame timbers, Alcantara feature wall and stunning views across the gardens and fields beyond. There is a dressing room fitted with bespoke wardrobes, mirror radiator and access into a luxurious en-suite shower room featuring Brecha Italian marble wall tiles, Portuguese limestone flooring, Neptune vanity sink and walk-in shower with rainfall head. Bedroom two also benefits from fitted wardrobes along with a dressing table and a beautifully fitted bathroom suite, while bedrooms three and four are served by a family bathroom complete with a spa bath with Aquavision TV set into the wall, Portuguese limestone floor and wall tiles and CP Hart Regent vanity unit with matching fittings.
To the side of the house is a detached one bedroom annex, also presented to the highest of standards and provides the incoming purchaser with a multitude of uses, such as living accommodation for a relative or as a home office. The self-contained accommodation includes a living room with vaulted ceiling and tri-fold doors to patio, a fully fitted kitchen, shower room, double bedroom and bespoke hand finished carpentry within the walk-in wardrobe.
At the front of the property, there is a stone resin driveway providing ample parking for several cars. A path leads to the side of the house and there is a storage area for bins.
The rear gardens have been expertly landscaped following a classical Italian theme and provides wonderful spaces to relax and enjoy the tranquil setting. A multi-coloured patio utilising Indian sandstone features on the terrace, enclosed by a brick retaining wall inset with natural flint stones, native to the region. The patio has been cleverly designed creating three zones and stretches across the rear of the house, seamlessly linking with the kitchen and living room, ideal for an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Steps lead up to the formal front portion of the garden with an immaculate lawn bordered by heavily planted beds, established Red Robin and Laurel bushes. The lawn continues through to the informal portion of the garden with further established Red Robins. The garden is a horticulturist’s dream and stocked with sculptured topiary balls, ‘David Austin’ roses, Californian lilac and trees including magnolia and Japanese Maple with dark purple leaves. Additionally, there is a heated 12’ x 8’ workshop, an irrigation system within the garden and a gate leading out to acres of farmland with rights of way.
Greenstead Green is situated close to the villages of Halstead, Stisted, Earls Colne and Coggeshall, all benefitting from some of the prettiest countryside in the county.
The property is well placed for the commuter, being approx. 6.8 miles from Freeport and Braintree train stations. Kelvedon Station can also be easily reached. The surrounding villages offer a wealth of activities, groups, clubs and events aimed at all age groups. There are numerous cafés, restaurants and bistros.
The wider region boasts some highly regarded schools including New Hall Chelmsford and grammar schools in Felsted, Gosfield and Colchester.
