Property Description
Strawberry Hall is situated on the edge of the hamlet of Magdalen Laver, one of a group of West Essex villages with many timbered and Listed houses, set in remarkably unspoilt countryside. This area is popular with commuters for the city of London, as there is extraordinarily easy access to the M11 (J7), mainline station and to the Central Line tube station in Epping.
This substantial house is believed to date back to the 16th century and is Grade II Listed, considered to be of architectural and historical merit. The house is traditionally constructed with a timber frame and plastered elevations, with considerable character including inglenook fireplaces and many exposed timbers.
The house has greatly benefitted from modernisation, the most significant change being the addition of an oak framed extension to the kitchen, which has also been re-fitted to a bespoke design by local craftsmen. In addition, there is a drawing room, dining room and study in the original part of the house. On the first floor there is a generous landing, currently being used as a dressing room, but which could provide additional bedroom accommodation. There are four bedrooms, one en suite and a family bathroom.
Outside, the driveway leads to a gravelled parking and turning area and to the triple garage, which has an external staircase to an annexe with a bed/sitting room, shower room and small kitchen. The grounds are very much a feature and include an extensive terrace, traditional herbaceous borders, a lavender border and climbing plants including honeysuckle, roses and wisteria. The remainder of the grounds are laid to lawn with a large number of trees, a hard tennis court, oil tank and dog kennel. In total, approximately 1.5 acres.
Strawberry Hall is a few minutes drive from a highway, yet is surrounded by farmland and enjoys excellent open views. Agents note: We understand the track in front of the house is a public by-way.
