About this home
A deceptively spacious, versatile residence standing on grounds of 0.49 acres (stls) What We Think at The Zoe Napier Group This is a truly lovely family home that has been cleverly reconfigured and refurbished to an excellent standard by the current owners, offering extremely versatile and spacious accommodation that can be adapted in various ways to suit the incoming buyer. The detached garage/workshop extends to an impressive 1,000 sq ft and offers a generous footprint with potential for conversion into a home office, gym, or annexe (STP). What the Owners Say It has been fantastic living here for the last five years and we will dearly miss having Freeport Designer Village and its range of amenities on our doorstep, while the railway station has been an added bonus, allowing us to reach London Liverpool Street with minimal fuss. Set on the outskirts of the village and surrounded by rolling countryside, the location is truly special and has allowed us to enjoy many long dog walks while soaking up the stunning views. History & Background This deceptively spacious property is believed to have been constructed in the 1960s, with later additions in the 1980s and provides versatile accommodation arranged over two floors.
The ground floor features two/three generous reception rooms, double bedroom, shower room, recently refurbished kitchen/breakfast room, and a larger than average utility room. The first floor offers a principal bedroom with en-suite, a further double bedroom with dressing room, and recently refitted family bathroom.
The 0.49-acre grounds (stls) are a particular highlight, incorporating an extensive driveway with ample off-street parking, large Nissan hut/garage/workshop, and uninterrupted views over open countryside. Setting & Location The property sits centrally within its plot on the outskirts of the popular village of Cressing. Freeport Designer Village is a short drive away, offering a wide range of designer shopping outlets, eateries, an indoor swimming pool, cinema, and bowling alley. Braintree Freeport railway station provides a direct commute to London Liverpool Street in approximately one hour.
The larger town of Braintree, located three miles to the west, offers a broader range of amenities including schools, restaurants, public houses, and a mainline railway station. London Stansted Airport is just a 22-minute drive away, providing excellent access for international travel.

Grounds & Outbuildings The property stands on a plot of just under half an acre and is approached via an expansive shingle driveway that offers off street parking for several vehicles, leading to a nissan hut that has been converted into a garage/ workshop, with an impressive footprint of 1000 square feet there is potential to convert into annexe accommodation, or a work from home office if required (stp).
