Property Description
Listed Grade II, being of architectural and historic interest, Rookwoods was constructed in the early 19th Century of gault brick under a slate roof. The front elevation is beautifully symmetrical with stone steps leading up to a pillared entrance porch.
Internally the house combines light and spacious reception rooms with comfortable bedroom accommodation on the first floor. Of particular note is the very elegant drawing room, centred on an attractive open fireplace and with glazed French doors opening onto the paved terrace.
Outside is an attractive range of outbuildings including the Victorian stabling block, built circa 1887 and finished with an ornate Dutch gable with decorative moulded brickwork.
The recently converted cottage has been finished to an exceptional standard and provides charming two-bedroom secondary accommodation overlooking the walled kitchen garden.
Situated at the foot of the driveway is the Lodge House, also listed Grade II and built circa 1887. The lodge house is ornately finished with a remarkable rectangular brick chimney stack and attractive moulded brickwork.
The village of Sible Hedingham lies in the Colne Valley, surrounded by well-maintained agricultural and woodland. The village provides an excellent selection of local amenities including primary and secondary schools together with a doctor's practice, public house and Post Office. In the centre is a range of shops, including food stores, pharmacy, baker and a butcher. Nearby Chelmsford and Colchester, about 18 miles distant, provide more comprehensive facilities.
Fast and frequent trains leave Braintree Station, reaching Liverpool Street in 61 minutes, or from Witham to Liverpool Street in approximately 45 minutes. There is access onto the M11 at Junction 8 via the A120 and onto the A12 at Witham. Stansted Airport is 26 miles away.
The area offers a wide choice choice of schooling, most notably Felsted Boarding School for Boys and Girls from the ages of four to 18.
Laid mostly to lawn and studded with a selection of fine specimen trees, the gardens and grounds are a principal feature of the property. Flanking the house is a well-stocked herbaceous border and a garden path leading to a swimming pool and pool house which is sheltered by a pleached hornbeam hedge.
To the east of the house is the fenced parkland on a mature belt of woodland running along the southern boundary, providing shelter and privacy.
Beyond the stable block are a selection of well-fenced, level paddocks, running down to the stream which forms the northern boundary. A further open paddock lies to the west of the cottage, just beyond the productive, walled kitchen garden.
The mature oak woodland lies to the west of the property, providing a natural haven for a wide selection of wildlife.
