For Sale Crescent Drive, Old Shenfield, Brentwood, CM15 Offers above £2,500,000

Steps ascend to a sheltered entrance from which a front door with surrounding frosted glazed panels opens to the large reception hall. A staircase rises to the first floor landing and from here a direct view can be enjoyed through the property and out to the surrounding 0.35 acre grounds. The sitting room is of an ideal size for formal entertaining and wide French doors with windows to either side open to the rear garden sun terrace. A focal point is a feature stone fireplace that incorporates a gas coal effect fire.

A glazed door connects the sitting room to the garden room, which currently provides an informal dining area that can comfortably seat ten people and an informal seating area, with views across the well tended and very secluded rear garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a particularly attractive feature to the property. Comprehensively fitted with a fine quality range of light coloured shaker style units that comprise base cupboards, drawers and matching wall cabinets. To the centre of the room is an island unit with contrasting black granite worktop with an overhang to provide a breakfast bar. A long granite worktop incorporates a sink unit with ribbed granite drainer and mixer tap. Space for a cooking range with concealed extractor unit fitted above. The kitchen/breakfast room is situated conveniently adjacent to the formal dining room, from which a door leads outside.

The bespoke luxury home cinema offers an extraordinary cinematic. The dual elevation study will ideally suit those that work from home. The utility room provides an excellent companion to the well appointed kitchen/breakfast room and is situated behind the integral double garage that can accommodate two large vehicles, with ease.

On the first floor level, there are four bright and spacious double bedrooms, all with luxuriously appointed en-suite facilities. There is a large and tastefully appointed family bathroom to accompany the two double bedrooms that can be found on the second floor level. A unique feature is the very well proportioned games room/gymnasium that is situated above the garage. Though this is connected to the first floor level of the main house, it can be independently accessed by an independent staircase to the lobby on the ground floor, to create a perfect annexe for an au-pair or teenage children.

Externally, as previously mentioned, the plot extends to 0.349 acre. In fact, the rear garden has a maximum depth of 165'. Running across the rear of the house is a paved garden terrace that is retained by a low level red brick wall that draws the westerly afternoon sunshine. From here, a step rises to a large and very well tended lawn, bordered on all three boundaries by a mature array of shrubs, plants and trees, that serve to provide a most attractive garden environment, with privacy and seclusion from neighbouring properties. To the centre is a second garden sun terrace with shade to be found beneath a wisteria clad pergola with a seating area and well stocked shaped rose beds. A garden shed is adjacent and the lawn extends to the rear boundary of the garden. A large outbuilding incorporates a workshop, though this space could offer an additional games room, home gym, or could be converted to create an ideal space from which to run a business (STPP).

A pair of secure wrought iron gates open to the front garden. The house occupies a prominent position in the road, with a total frontage of 105'. Two pairs of electronically operated wrought iron gates open to a large carriage driveway that offers extensive off street parking, with access to the double garage. The house is screened from the road by mature and evergreen laurel hedging and the remainder of the front garden is laid to lawn, framed by a fine and mature oak tree.
