5 bed detached house for sale

Anchor Lane, Abbess Roding, Ongar, Essex CM5

Woodyhyde is a striking family home, offering over 3,000 sq ft of sympathetically updated accommodation across two generous floors. Period features have been carefully retained, including a wealth of exposed wall and ceiling beams and a large inglenook fireplace in the sitting room, adding charm and character throughout.

The ground-floor accommodation is arranged for comfortable family living, with an entrance hall leading to a double-aspect sitting room with double doors opening onto the rear garden. The kitchen and breakfast room forms the heart of the home, a spacious and inviting area for daily family use. Natural-finish wooden cabinetry provides ample storage, while a central island with a butcher’s block work surface offers additional preparation space. A farmhouse-style sink and a striking deep-blue range cooker create a charming focal point, set against an exposed brick wall with a timber beam shelf above. The breakfast area also benefits from double doors onto the rear garden, filling the room with natural light and providing easy access to outdoor family activities. A practical front-aspect study adjoins a large fitted utility room. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and a separate cloakroom complete the ground-floor accommodation.

On the first floor, the landing provides access to three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The spacious principal suite includes a separate dressing room and a generous en suite bathroom. The two additional bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes, and a separate shower room completes the floor.

The property is approached via a pair of timber gates with black metal frames, opening onto a gravel driveway and creating a welcoming, secure introduction. The drive leads into a broad courtyard, where a paved walkway guides the way to the striking black timber-clad frontage, punctuated by an expansive picture window. Traditional red-tiled pitched roofs and timber detailing provide a sense of classic rural character, while bold contemporary elements add individuality and distinction. To the rear, the gardens are laid mainly to lawn and complemented by mature trees and a summer house, with an adjoining seating area ideal for al fresco entertaining.
