Attractive and well balanced Victorian farmhouse with excellent equestrian facilities, occupying a private setting in the heart of north Essex.

Description
A handsome detached four bedroom Victorian farmhouse extending to approximately 2,852 sq ft (265 sq m) situated in a peaceful setting at the end of a private drive, providing a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The house offers generously proportioned family accommodation combining some fine attractive period features and offering flexibility for modern daily life. Burnthouse Farm includes an extensive range of outbuildings of approximately 6,200 sq ft (576 sq m) with exceptional potential and excellent equestrian facilities. All in around 13.6 acres.

The property is approached from the front entrance leading to two primary reception rooms. The sitting room boasts an ornate fire marble surround with a detailed cast iron grate. With a dual aspect, this room offers scenic views to the front and side. The dining room, with oak flooring and dual aspect, connects to the conservatory, creating an ideal space for entertainment with a poolside view. Adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room is the family room, featuring an ornate inset wood-burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room, the heart of the house, is tastefully designed in a farmhouse style, equipped with an Aga and integral appliances.

The first floor accommodation is equally as charming and is accessed by two independent staircases. The back staircase leads to the principal bedroom with an en suite bath and shower room. Connecting the remainder of the first floor is bedroom four, in addition to a landing providing access to two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside
The house is discreetly positioned at the end of a private drive, accessed from a traditional country lane, just outside the hamlet of Morris Green.

The property is approached from the front, flanked by areas of lawn and trees on the westerly aspect and bordered by a large duck pond with a half-height mellow brick wall which surrounds the house. A wrought iron gate opening to a path, flanked by neatly manicured areas of lawn and box hedging, leads to the front door.

A large area of hardstanding, retained by post and rail fencing, accesses a range of barns in a courtyard setting. These buildings comprise traditional and modern structures which have a three-phase electricity supply and offer a huge degree of scope for a variety of purposes (subject to the necessary consents). Currently there are four loose boxes, incorporated into a substantial barn with an adjoining dry store. There is a double carport and two further storage barns. To the rear of the barns are four former grain silos providing an exciting opportunity for a scope of different uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.

To the rear of the house is a substantial garage with an adjoining studio. The formal gardens extend from the side of the house commencing a terraced seating area opening to lawn, interspersed with a variety of trees and a heated swimming pool with a Romanesque 'D' end.

The equestrian facilities are discreetly positioned to the side of the garden with an all-weather track leading to outdoor arena, measuring about 30m x 60m. The paddocks have been divided allowing the site to be more productive and total about 10 acres.

All in about 13.6 acres.
