The Chase, Barnston

Sakers has been a cherished family home for twelve years, thoughtfully improved and extended by the current owners to create a spacious, practical layout suited to modern living.
Gated off the road, a large block-paved driveway offers generous parking alongside access to the garage and workshop. Inside, the ground floor provides excellent flexibility. A cozy sitting room features a log burner, ideal for the winter months, complemented by a separate home office with its own working fireplace. A third reception room currently serves as a playroom, but could easily function as a snug, guest bedroom, or second lounge.
The centerpiece of the home is the open-plan kitchen and family room, designed for both daily life and hosting. It centers around a striking Brazilian quartzite island, crafted from an exceptionally rare slab, offering both a visual focal point and deep storage. The kitchen comes fitted with a self-cleaning oven, induction hob, integrated microwave, and filtered water tap, while automatic, rain-sensing skylights draw in abundant natural light. A recently extended utility room sits just off the kitchen, adding extra functional space.
Upstairs holds four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with its own en-suite, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom. Storage runs throughout the house, including a fully boarded main loft and an additional storage area above the garage.
Practical and energy-efficient upgrades include ground-floor underfloor heating, solar panels installed roughly three years ago, modern gas central heating, and an EV charging point. The home also features integrated Bose audio, smart-controlled entry gates with a voice intercom, USB outlets, dimmable lighting, a secure parcel delivery box, and a private rear garden with space for outdoor dining and play.
Situated in the village of Barnston, the property combines a rural community feel with convenient transport links. Regular bus services offer direct routes to both Chelmsford and Stansted Airport, while Great Dunmow, Bishop's Stortford, the A120, and the M11 are all within easy reach.
