3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Dunmow, Essex CM6

A significant building within this small historic country estate, featuring a detached, self-contained studio and offered with no onward chain.

Description
Originally a small country estate centred around a collection of medieval buildings, the Manor of Newton Hall occupies a picturesque position just north of the historic market town of Great Dunmow. While most of the medieval structures have since been lost to time, the manor house was rebuilt in the 19th century and remains a prominent and characterful feature of the estate.

Now thoughtfully divided into nine individual properties, Number 9 Newton Hall represents one of the more substantial homes within the estate. Extending to approximately 3,500 sq ft across two floors, the property offers four bedrooms and includes a self-contained studio, ideal for guests, extended family or working from home. The property is offered with no onward chain.

Internally, the accommodation is versatile, combining contemporary design with period features such as high ceilings, full-height sash windows and doors, and original fireplaces.

The ground floor centres around an impressive entrance hall, an adaptable space with double doors opening into a magnificent sitting room, leading through to a striking kitchen/breakfast room with glazed aspects on two sides. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, a feature island with mixed materials including quartz, timber and stainless steel, and premium appliances by Siemens, Gaggenau and Neff. The kitchen also opens directly to the rear garden via French doors, creating a seamless connection with the outside space. There are three formal reception rooms, including a conservatory, and a further ground-floor room that lends itself to use as a bedroom, playroom or home office. Throughout the ground floor, solid oak herringbone flooring and two wood-burning stoves add character.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from an en suite bathroom and a connecting fourth bedroom, currently used as a dressing room or study. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

In addition to the main house, the property benefits from a detached studio or guest wing comprising an open-plan kitchen/sitting room, a bedroom and bathroom.

Outside
To the front of the property is a driveway providing parking and a double garage, alongside a sheltered courtyard. The rear garden is arranged around an enclosed courtyard, bordered by attractive low brick walls and featuring paved terraces, established specimen planting and a tranquil pond. Beyond, an opening leads to a raised decked seating area with views over the remaining gardens, which are predominantly laid to lawn. This versatile space offers scope for use as a small paddock and benefits from independent gated access at the rear of the plot. All in about 0.29 of an acre.
