Property Description
Gowers farm is a charming period farmhouse located in the hamlet of Howlett End with the vibrant market towns of Thaxted and Saffron Walden nearby and within walking distance of the popular White Hart gastro pub. The property retains many period features to include exposed beams, open fireplaces and window shutters and the current owners have recently acquired planning permission to demolish the existing one bedroom studio to create a detached 3 bedroom house (utt/18/2315/ful). Further outbuildings, available by separate negotiation for £150,000 and edged in blue on the plan, include a 38ft detached office with kitchen area, shower room and electric heating and a 45ft timber framed barn ideal for storage or possible conversion.
The farmhouse comprises a rear entrance/boot room with a walk-in pantry leading to the kitchen with gas fired Aga, Neff oven and microwave, integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer and an inner lobby houses the new gas fired central heating boiler and leads to the large utility room. Open studwork and a step leads through to the dining room with open brick fireplace and large sash window. The main front door entrance leads to a lobby area with sweeping wide staircase to the first floor and to the main sitting room with sash windows, fireplace with wood burner and original fitted cabinets and shelving in the recesses. A second front entrance porch leads to the cosy snug/study with exposed beams and inglenook fireplace housing a wood burner and to the second staircase leading to bedroom 3. The first floor comprises a long landing leading to the 4 bedrooms, with good head height and 2 well appointed family bathrooms.
Outside, the property is approached via a gravelled driveway leading to the 2 large hardstanding parking areas with an attractive paved terrace to the rear of the house with adjacent outdoor bar and entertaining area. The main gardens are lawned and surrounded by and abundance of fruit trees including apple, pear and fig, various other mature trees and shrubs. The formal front garden is gated with a central pathway and floral borders. In all, the total plot extends to about 1.2 acres.
Wimbish is an area situated to the south east of Saffron Walden, made up of a collection of small hamlets, Howlett End being one of them, set amongst open countryside with a fine village church, village hall, primary school, public house and a thriving community spirit. The historic market towns of Saffron Walden (4 miles), and Thaxted (4 miles) provide a further range of shopping, recreational and cultural activities.
