A beautifully presented detached house occupying a semi-rural country lane location, between Stock and Billericay.
A striking four bedroom detached country home, believed to have originated in the 1930s with modern additions, occupying an elevated position with delightful panoramic views.
Katie House provides four bedrooms and generous, light-filled reception space, comfortably set in landscaped grounds of about 0.78 acres. The house provides attractive red-brick and part-rendered elevations with distinctive deep arched windows on the ground floor, and a largely symmetrical design. Adjacent is a self-contained leisure studio incorporating a kitchenette and shower room, providing very useful supplementary accommodation.
Inside
The property is entered through a central reception hall incorporating a period-style fireplace and high ceilings, which are a feature throughout the principal rooms. There is a cloakroom and comfortable sitting room featuring a period-style fireplace with a wood burner and a study with a fitted bookcase and storage unit. Spanning the rear elevation is a splendid kitchen/dining and family room, offering panoramic views of the garden. This room has bi-folding doors and a sizeable lantern roof, providing natural light. The kitchen is appointed with contemporary grey and blue units, granite countertops and integrated appliances. Amtico concrete-effect flooring with underfloor heating extends throughout the dining and sitting areas. Concluding the ground floor accommodation is a utility room.
To the first floor there are four spacious double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom provides delightful views, complemented by fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. The other front-facing rooms on the first floor share similar views. The family bathroom is well appointed with both a bath and a separate shower.
Outside
The property is set back from its country lane setting proving a wide frontage and gravelled carriage driveway. The extensive gardens commence with a large sandstone terrace, patio and covered BBQ area which leads out to the lightly-wooded lawns. There is a range of timber outbuildings which include a summerhouse, bar room and store shed. To the side of the house is a converted garage providing self-contained studio space, offering the opportunity for a variety of uses.
