Description
Oak House is a magnificent Georgian-style new build country house, offering an exceptional opportunity for those seeking grand accommodation and to customise their own build project, set in expansive acreage and nestled within the countryside of north Essex.
In 2008 planning permission was granted by Braintree District council, under planning ref 08/03093/ful, to construct this stunning and individual building which extends to approximately 13,000 sq ft, thoughtfully designed over several levels.
Built in 2015 and designed in the timeless Georgian style, this fine country house is characterised by symmetrical proportions, large sash windows, and a stately entrance. The building provides attractive redbrick elevations with stone dressing, reflecting the charm of Georgian architecture, and is comfortably set back from its country lane setting.
Upon completion, the interior of this property will offer spacious and luxurious accommodation across multiple floors. There will be nine bedrooms, including a potential self-contained guest wing and a separate two bedroom coach house. The ground floor is designed to feature a grand entrance hall with a sweeping staircase, leading to an array of reception rooms. In summary, these include a formal drawing room, morning room, library, study and an expansive dining room perfect for entertaining. The heart of the home will be a large family room and an open-plan kitchen which offers the opportunity to be equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and ample space for casual dining and relaxation from the adjoining garden room which overlooks the grounds to the east. The northern wing connects from the kitchen with an independent staircase rising to the first floor, and has been designed as a leisure complex or to be annexed from the house, providing quarters for guest or staff accommodation.
To the lower ground floor, there is a multi-purpose basement, whilst upstairs the property is set to provide numerous generously sized bedrooms. The principal suite will boast a walk-in wardrobe, a private balcony, and bathroom. Additional bedrooms will offer flexibility for family, guests, or even home office spaces. There are nine bedrooms in total which are arranged over the first and second floors.
This unique opportunity promises to be a stunning residence once completed, blending classical elegance with modern luxury. Prospective buyers have the unique opportunity to influence the final design and finishes, allowing for a high degree of customisation enabling new owners to create a home that perfectly suits their tastes and requirements. Whether it’s selecting the finest materials, adding bespoke features, or incorporating the latest smart home technologies, the possibilities are endless.
Outside
Oak house is situated on a substantial plot, offering approximately 18 acres of private land which surrounds the property. The property is approached over a sweeping drive leading to the front of the house and a separate triple-bay garage with a two bedroom self-contained annexe to the first floor. To the north of the property there is a stable block which comprises four loose boxes, a tack room and machinery store. There is ample space for outdoor amenities, such as a swimming pool, tennis court, or even equestrian facilities, making it an ideal property for those who appreciate outdoor leisure and recreation.
Services
Water to the property is currently provided by a private well but we understand mains water is available in the road. The sewage is connected to a compliant private treatment plant. Mains electricity and Fibre broadband connected.
Agents note
There is a potential health and safety risk associated with the unfinished construction, and would advise viewers to consider any tripping or falling hazards. Temporary staircases have been installed and hard hats are advised to be worn when viewing.
