Rook Hall is an exquisite Grade II listed property nestled in the picturesque village of Cressing. This exceptional period home dates back to medieval times and was transformed into an imposing farmhouse sometime during the 16th and 17th Centuries. It has since become a cherished family home, seamlessly blending architectural features with a comfortable living arrangement, making it an ideal choice for families.
The property boasts three elegant reception rooms. The graceful drawing room, adorned with an impressive inglenook fireplace and a large sash window, exudes a timeless charm. Opposite, you'll find a formal dining room, creating a perfect balance. Additionally, the third reception room, believed to be part of a medieval house, has been converted into a delightful garden room, offering a pleasant view of the grounds . The well-appointed kitchen features an extensive range of quality units and modern appliances, complemented by a breakfast area. Adjacent to the kitchen, across the rear lobby with large storage cupboard you'll discover a utility room and there is also a convenient downstairs cloakroom.
Ascending the intriguing turning staircase, you'll reach the first floor, where three generously proportioned bedrooms await. The principal bedroom is an elegant retreat, filled with natural light streaming in through the dual aspect windows. It also boasts a private en-suite with a modern suite and fitted wardrobes within the bedroom itself. Bedrooms two and three showcase exposed timbers, providing a glimpse of the timber frame, while a family bathroom with a full suite, including a shower and bath, completes this floor.
Behind an ornate stripped timber door, a second staircase leads to the top floor, where two more impressive bedrooms occupy much of this floor. These bedrooms offer ample space for free-standing furniture and a comfortable living experience.
Additionally, there's an open loft space that can serve as a fantastic hobby area or an additional bedroom, depending on your needs.
Approaching Rook Hall, you'll be greeted by a shingled driveway that opens up to a spacious parking area, complete with a double garage for secure parking. There's also a weather-boarded workshop, providing additional storage, and the former Brew House, a three-story building featuring an original bread oven. While the Brew House requires significant renovations, with the appropriate planning permission, it could be transformed into an annex, a home office, or even a gym.
The gardens surrounding Rook Hall are sure to leave a lasting impression and occupy a significant portion of the 0.96-acre property. Years of meticulous care and thoughtful planting have resulted in a landscape filled with intriguing areas to explore. Mature hedges and plants divide several lawns that meander towards the rear of the garden. A large, densely planted flower bed separates the garden, concealing a beautiful ornate lily pond with fish. Positioned beyond the pond, there's a charming summer house, creating a perfect garden retreat where you can relax and enjoy the soothing sound of running water. In addition to the formal gardens, there's also a hidden vegetable plot, featuring raised beds stocked with a variety of fruits and vegetables.
Rook Hall enjoys an idyllic location in the charming village of Cressing, offering a tranquil lifestyle. The village itself has a Church, popular Italian restaurant, primary school and a train station serving London while nearby Braintree provides a wider range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Excellent transport links, including easy access to major roads and the nearby railway station, ensure effortless commuting and convenient exploration of the surrounding region.
