Sewards, Brickendon Lane

Grade II Listed, this attractive William and Mary, 17th Century property offers an abundance of character features typical of its age, which are beautifully blended with high quality and thoughtful finishes. Set within established gardens and grounds of 2.5 acres, there is the added advantage of planning permission to convert an existing barn and the opportunity to convert another (STPP).

The ground floor is perfectly configured for both family life and entertaining, comprising a welcoming drawing room, formal dining room, elegant library and a well proportioned family room. To the rear, a substantial kitchen/ breakfast will form the heart of the home (currently unfinished), providing an expansive space with adjoining utility and boot room. A useful cellar adds approximately 323 sq ft of storage or potential ancillary use.

The first floor offers a superb principal bedroom suite with a walk-in wardrobe, alongside two further generous double bedrooms, one also benefitting from an en-suite bathroom, and a family bathroom.

The second floor provides additional flexibility with three further bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room and an additional bathroom, ideal for guests, older children or home working.

Outside
The property enjoys a private setting approached via a sweeping driveway leading to ample parking and garaging with adjoining workshop. The driveway is bordered by lawns interspersed with a variety of mature trees and flowering shrubs. Gardens extend to all sides of the property and a range of external structures, provide flexibility for a variety of lifestyle needs. Planning permission has been granted to convert one of the barns to additional accommodation, but which can be amended to suit individual needs. A further barn, with separate vehicular access, provides similar potential (both STPP). The combination of house and outbuildings creates a highly adaptable country residence. Beyond the gardens is a paddock. Total plot 2.5 acres with an additional 14.5 acres available under separate negotiation.
