4 bed detached house for sale

Stortford Road, Clavering, Nr Saffron Walden, Essex CB11

The greate barn is a stunning barn conversion of distinctive style and character placed within a cluster of barns, formerly part of Clavering Hall which sits adjacent to the properties. The Barn retains many of the hallmarks often associated with properties of this nature including a multitude of exposed beams and timbers, high vaulted reception areas and natural floor coverings.

The property provides spacious and enormously versatile accommodation arranged over three floors with its front door opening into an entrance hall where a ground floor cloakroom sits off to one side. The central reception area is a key feature of this superb home with its high vaulted ceiling, galleried landing and array of exposed beams and timbers. There is full-height glazing to the front of the property with further glazing to the rear wall incorporating double doors opening to outside, all of which draws in an enormous amount of natural light. This large open-plan space could easily incorporate sitting and dining areas and is perfect for entertaining. Part glazed double doors to one side opening into a separate sitting room which has glazed panelling to one wall and a window to the side. The kitchen/family room is another truly impressive room, again with high vaulted ceiling featuring exposed timber beams and natural brickwork to one side. The kitchen is well equipped with granite worktops and large central island, a range of storage cupboards in contrasting shades and integrated appliances including twin ovens, hob with extractor fan over, dishwasher and wine cooler. Glazed double doors open to the side with a window and further glazed double doors opening to the rear which also provide stunning views over surrounding countryside. From the kitchen an inner hallway leads to a utility room which provides further worktops, storage cupboards, sink unit and appliance space.

From the central reception area, a rear hallway leads to 2 ground floor double bedrooms; one to the front and one to the rear, both of which enjoy the benefit of their own en suite shower rooms.

Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to two further good sized double bedrooms at either end of the barn, both of which having built-in wardrobes and each with a somewhat unique feature of a staircase rising to an en suite shower and bathroom above both rooms.

Outside, the property is approached to the front via a shared gravelled driveway entrance which also serves neighbouring properties and where parking is available.

The gardens attached to The Greate Barn really are a really stunning feature, arranged in a broad L-shape which wrap themselves around the barn and take full advantage of the exceptional views over surrounding open countryside. The gardens are laid out predominantly to lawn featuring a large paved terrace adjoining the back of the property that provides perfect space for outside entertaining.

In addition, the property features its own self-contained one bedroom annexe which is accessed from the garden, this providing ground floor living/kitchen area, a first floor bedroom and shower room above. A further vehicular entrance to the rear of the property leads to a detached double garage.

Agent's notes: It is worth noting the barn is heated by an air source system, with the additional advantage of solar panels and battery storage, all of which gives the property an energy rating of A.

Pursuant to the Estate Agents Act 1973, we hereby confirm that the vendor of this property is a member of staff at Mullucks.

We understand there is a communal charge of £125 pcm - owned by Residents Association.
