Nr Saffron Walden, Essex

Property Description
BETHUNE represents a rarely available and, in many ways, unique opportunity to purchase a substantial village house occupying a secluded tucked away position set within grounds which extend to about 4 acres. The house, which has not been on the market for well over 40 years, is accessed via an un-made track leading from the road which then brings you into this wonderful setting which, in itself, creates a sense of being in your own private country park. The property is a substantial home providing spacious and versatile living accommodation arranged over two floors and, whilst would benefit from improvement and modernisation, does represent an excellent opportunity to create something rather special, with enormous scope for extensions, subject to the usual consents being obtained.
At present, the property provides 5 bedroom accommodation with a combination of rooms on the ground and first floor. There is a lovely sitting room and home office which provides ideal space for those who work from home. The kitchen/dining room provides an extensive range of storage cupboards and worktops with plenty of space for table and chairs creating perfect space for home entertaining.
There are 5 bath/shower rooms within the home and a utility room which is adjacent to the kitchen.
OUTSIDE, the grounds really are a quite exceptional feature of this property. The entrance driveway provides extensive off-street parking for a multitude of vehicles and leads to the detached garage/workshop.
There are formal gardens directly to the rear of the property laid out mainly to lawn with a paved terrace adjoining the back of the house, all of which enjoying a high degree of privacy and seclusion. The grounds which then extend beyond this area are arranged in a series of paddock areas ideal for equestrian use with timber and brick built stables set to one side.
AGENT'S NOTE: The property shall be sold subject to an overage provision - please refer to the agents for further details.
