THE PROPERTY
Located on the edge of the popular village of Great Bardfield, Fernhurst is a very spacious detached family home, backing onto
open farmland.
On the ground floor there are three good-sized reception rooms comprising a bright drawing room with a pretty open fireplace,
a large sitting room and a dining room with views across the garden. The kitchen is a particular feature with a range of solid
pine units, an attractive built in dresser and a traditional terracotta tiled floor. There is also a ground floor cloakroom and useful
utility room offering access to the rear garden.
The five upstairs bedrooms make this a true 'family home'; the master bedroom (offering stunning farmland views and built-in
storage), features a traditional roll-top bath in its en-suite while the the other four bedrooms are serviced by a large family
bathroom with both bath and large walk-in shower.
THE LOCATION
Great Bardfield is a sought-after village, well served by a Co-op stores, its own
primary school, butchers, town hall, 2 pubs, tea rooms, post office and small
shopping complex at The Blue Egg. The village even boasts its own vineyard!
Centrally located for the market towns of Saffron Walden, Braintree and Great
Dunmow (12, 9 and 8 miles respectively), the village is popular with commuters
with easy access to the M11 and mainline stations into London Liverpool Street at
Audley End (14 miles), Bishops Stortford (15 miles) and Stansted Airport (12 miles).
There are also a number of state and independent schools nearby including
Saffron Walden County High, several village primary schools and Felsted Junior
and Senior schools. Further afield, Cambridge, Bishops Stortford, Chelmsford and
Bury St. Edmunds (all 25 - 30 miles) offer an even greater selection of independent
schools and extensive shopping facilities.
This is a particularly unspoilt part of North Essex with stunning surrounding
countryside, perfect for horse-riding, dog-walking and rambling; ideal for those
seeking to balance rural surroundings with an active village life.
