Wethersfield, Braintree, Essex

Sandhill Cottages is an attractive Victorian terraced property with a red brick façade under a clay tiled roof, situated on the edge of the village. The property has been thoughtfully modernised and very well cared for by the existing owners, and has had a delightful rear extension leading on to a very private patio terrace.

The property provides deceptively spacious and versatile accommodation in addition to a superb rear garden overlooking fields, dedicated parking and garage, all of which are not immediately obvious from a cursory drive past.

A composite door accesses the delightful reception area, which is segregated into two parts with the sitting area having an attractive red brick fireplace, with inset wood burning stove upon a brick hearth. A ledge and board door rises to the first floor, and a further ledge and board door accesses the kitchen. The dining area takes in countryside views and there is square arch accessing a storage recess with a brick floor, beyond which is a well-appointed, and recently refitted shower room with matching white suite, including quadrant shower cubicle.

The galley kitchen is accessed from the sitting area and has been recently re-fitted with an impressive range of contemporary hi-gloss handleless floor and wall mounted units with oak effect work countertops, tiled floor, window with views to the rear garden and integral appliances include a 'Neff' double oven, ceramic hob and extractor hood over and sink bowel, space for dishwasher. A glazed door leads to the recent addition which comprises the garden room and utility room (former cloakroom). The garden room provides informal entertaining space, which could be utilised as a dining room, and it has French doors flanked by windows leading to the attractive rear courtyard and garden terrace. A further ledge and board door accesses the utility room which has plumbing for a washing machine, space for appliances and wall mounted Calor gas supplied boiler.

A ledge and board door gives way to the stairs rising to the first floor with a large galleried landing accessing the bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a dual aspect overlooking the rear garden with the countryside in the distance and woodland to the front elevation. It is a particularly well proportioned room and has a large Velux window to the rear and a built-in span of wardrobes with sliding doors. The second bedroom is situated to the front elevation of the property and accessed via a waxed ledge and board door, and takes in views to the aforementioned woodland. There is a large storage cupboard to the galleried landing and exposed studwork and beams to the walls and ceiling.

The property is approached via a path leading to the front door. The rear courtyard and patio terrace are a true delight. The courtyard level features power supply, location for Calor gas bottles, water supply tap and access to the front via pathway. A dwarf mellow red brick wall and steps rise to the patio terrace. This is flanked on two sides by fencing and shrubbery to provide a high degree of privacy and is positioned to take advantage of the afternoon and evening sun. A picket gate and pathway access a further annexed area of garden which can be found beyond, and to the rear. A track to the side of the properties provides a vehicular right of way and additional access on foot to the garden and parking/garaging.

There is a large timber garage sited to the left of a stone covered parking area flanked by trees. A gate and fencing give way to a stunning garden area which is segregated into two distinct areas. The upper level features a large greenhouse and raised beds being dedicated to garden maintenance and vegetable production. The lower level is landscaped including a lawned area and flower and shrub borders, interspersed by a block paved pathway which leads to a delightful seating terrace which overlooks adjacent fields and views beyond.
