17TH CENTURY - One of just two converted barns within the gated development of Waterhales Barn, a select farmstead development on the outskirts of Brentwood, 'Oaklands' is a charming, easy-to-maintain, secure period home with superb parking and a private garden.

The main reception space instantly impresses, with high a high vaulted ceiling and exposed structural timberwork, a theme which continues throughout the dwelling. This space houses a lounge area with beautiful fireplace with exposed chimney stack; a dining area; and kitchen fitted with a range of oak units.

A total of three bedrooms occupy the ground floor - with the master bedroom featuring a dressing area - as well as a bathroom and further shower room, both accessed from the hallway. Adjacent to the kitchen area is a recessed study, and a practical utility room. The first floor is accessed via a spiral staircase from the hallway and provides a useful room, either for storage, a hobby space, or children's 'den'.

Externally, the property offers a sizeable patio and lawned garden, as well as a large shingled courtyard providing ample parking to the front of the property, secured by electric gates, which are shared with the neighbouring property.

SERVICES: Mains gas, private drainage (not shared), mains water and electricity. Maintenance of any common areas, mainly the entrance gate, are the shared responsibility of both properties and administered on an ad hoc basis.
