Cromwell Hill, Maldon, Essex, CM9 4QD

Modern town house with River Chelmer views in the centre of Maldon.

Description

An exceptional modern town centre residence of nearly 2,500sq ft, forming the central home within a discreet group of just three individual properties with far-reaching views from the rear.

Situated on the site of the original pump house, this unique three-storey house is distinguished by the Grade II listed water pump (circa 1805) that stands at its front. From the street the property appears modest, yet internally it reveals generous, well-proportioned rooms arranged over three floors - an arrangement ideally suited to growing families or multi-generational living.

The architecture blends harmoniously with its historic neighbours while offering the clarity and convenience of contemporary design. An inviting hallway leads into a stylish living room featuring a media wall and a cosy fire - a welcoming space of generous proportions for relaxed evenings. At the heart of the home is a beautifully re-fitted kitchen/dining/family room, thoughtfully planned for both everyday living and entertaining. High-quality fixtures and fittings lend elegance and practicality to this principal living area. The room has access out to entertaining spaces in the garden, and beyond it has far-reaching river views. A ground floor cloakroom completes the accommodation on this level.

Upstairs, four double bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors. The principal bedroom on the first floor is an impressive suite with a large rear window framing river views, ample wardrobe provision and a generous en-suite shower room. A second double bedroom to the front of the house also benefits from built-in storage and its own en suite facilities.

On the second floor, two further double bedrooms share a well-appointed bathroom. The rear bedroom enjoys further river views, while the front bedroom looks out across the rooftops of neighbouring period homes.

A rare combination of historic context, contemporary comfort, and substantial accommodation in the heart of the town.

Outside The rear garden has been thoughtfully conceived as a natural extension of the kitchen, creating an exceptional outdoor entertaining space designed with effortless low-maintenance living in mind.

Stepping directly from the kitchen, one encounters a generous patio ideal for an outdoor corner sofa, from which steps descend to a decked terrace and finally to a tier of artificial lawn. From this carefully composed sequence of levels, delightful views unfold, offering a sense of peaceful seclusion that belies the property’s proximity to the vibrant town centre.

To the front, a practical car port and driveway provide convenient parking.
