VICTORIAN - A sensational Victorian villa offering perhaps the ultimate expression of modern-traditional interior style within this classic, fully-restored, red brick home of wonderful proportions on a plot approaching half an acre.

Extending to circa 4,250 sq ft over three storeys (plus cellar) in sought-after Hyde Lane, 'Bucks' has enjoyed a comprehensive, period-correct restoration to the most exacting standards, with fine features including deep sash windows, high ceilings, coved cornicing and open fireplaces to name but a few.

With a total of five bedrooms, four bathrooms and four principal reception rooms, there is a wonderful balance of accommodation, including a first-floor utility room, and second floor bedroom suite, ideal for a teenager/returning young adult, or au pair.

The quality of the interior and choice of luxury materials is simply divine. On occasions, a property finds its perfect guardians, and that is certainly the case here, with close attention given to every last detail of the home. It is truly exceptional.

The house sits discreetly behind mature hedging, accessed via a gated driveway from Hyde Lane, offering ample parking and a detached garage/store to the front, with a rear garden and relaxed terracing enjoying a southerly aspect. A detached studio sits beside the property, ideal as a home office or gym.

Located on the eastern side of the picturesque village of Danbury and within easy access of its shops, amenities and two preparatory schools (Heathcote and Elm Green), and only five miles east of Chelmsford with its excellent choice of facilities, including two grammar schools and the main line into London Liverpool Street. Easy access also to A12, Maldon and the beautiful Essex coast.
