Opportunity to Enlarge Further STPP
Not only has this spacious home in the beautiful village of Finchingfield been refurbished to the highest standard, but it also offers the new owners a fantastic opportunity to enlarge the property further to stamp their own mark on it.
Finchingfield appeared in this year's Sunday Times list of the Top 10 places to live in East Anglia. It is the archetypal postcard village with a village green, duck pond and abundance of period properties. This setting, together with a good pub, a post office/general store and other small businesses, combine to make Finchingfield a very desirable place to live.
While being in the centre of this beautiful village and, therefore, close to all amenities, The Hideaway benefits from a secluded situation positioned at the end of a private drive with plenty of parking outside the property, as well as a double garage.
The house lends itself to further enlargement and improvement STPP, either by way of building a conservatory link between the kitchen/diner and the sitting room thus creating even more living space and/or by extending into the loft space. This could be either done as a chalet style or as a full extra storey.
The house, which sits on a large, secluded plot, is already large and has been extremely well renovated but, if you are looking for a property that still has further potential, this could be the home for you.
As mentioned above, Finchingfield is a picturesque, much sought after village which offers local shops, a post office, pubs, tea rooms and petrol station. There are churches of two denominations and a village primary school. Local buses connect the village to nearby towns and villages including Braintree, Great Bardfield, Saffron Walden and Great Dunmow. A school bus service is provided to the Tabor secondary school in Braintree, Helena Romanes secondary school at Great Dunmow and the County High School at Saffron Walden. Mainline train services are available from Braintree to London Liverpool Street on the Colchester line or alternatively from Stansted, Audley End, Bishops Stortford or Elsenham on the Cambridge line. Stansted Airport and the M11 motorway are approximately 16 miles to the west and fast access is available on the new A120 dual carriageway.
