Property history of Baynards, Grange Lane, Little Dunmow, Dunmow CM6 3HY, 29th Jul 2008

Baynards Is a substantial contemporary house built in 1968 with later extensions situated in the heart of the village of Little Dunmow, giving easy access to the A120 and stations at Bishop's Stortford and Chelmsford and only 1½ miles from the well known school at Felsted.

The house has recently undergone complete refurbishment complementing the quiet position not far from the village church.

On the ground floor there is a wide entrance hall with attractive American oak flooring and inset ceiling lighting with variable control. There is a smart new cloakroom. The drawing room has a Chesneys of Chelsea fireplace and double doors opening onto the terrace. The dining room has good proportions with American oak flooring and glazed doors leading to the terrace. The kitchen has bespoke fitted units, a central island with granite worktop, fitted oven and butane gas hob, brick paviour floor, inset ceiling lighting and French doors off the breakfast area. The brick paviour floor runs through the utility room which has a double butlers sink, tiled working surfaces and fitted cupboards. On the first floor there are five bedrooms and three bathrooms, the master suite has two dressing rooms and a bathroom with free-standing bath as well as a separate tiled shower.

The house is fortunate to enjoy a plot of over one-third acre with ample parking and turning area to the front leading to the double garage with electric up-and-over door. This also has permission for conversion into a family room and could be achieved at relatively modest cost.

To the rear there is a paved terrace facing west with electrically operated canopy overlooking the mature and secluded garden. There is a heated pool with paved surround and heated by a heat exchanger. The herbaceous borders have a multitude of shrubs and plants with lawns gently sloping down to the rear where there is access to a 3½ acre paddock area which it may be possible to rent.
