Set overlooking Writtle village green and extensively renovated during the current owners' tenure of nearly 30 years, Ratcliffes offers a charming façade of red brick and sash windows, highlighted by a glorious entrance door with decorative fanlight, denoting the appeal of this fine period home. Being set around this iconic green creates the epitome of village living.
The garden is a true delight, with a detached garage (including secure wine store) and shingle driveway set to the rear, screened from the formal garden by a tall evergreen hedge with clipped arch. A central lawn area is flanked by a wonderful lavender-edged pathway, which connects two separate patio terraces. Mature shrubs, specimen trees, and a majestic ancient tree enhance this private outdoor space.
Upon entering the house, which is Listed (Grade II), a generous reception hall leads to a study with wall panelling and a feature fireplace, creating an ideal workspace overlooking the village green. The sitting room, just beyond, offers a cosy atmosphere with a wood-burning stove within a brick fireplace. An adjoining dining area is ideal for formal dining and entertaining, whilst the spacious kitchen/breakfast room provides ample space for more casual dining. A utility room adjacent to the kitchen accommodates domestic appliances and offers garden access.
The original staircase leads to the first floor, with three generous bedrooms, including a principal room with five-piece ensuite, and a family bathroom on the landing. The second floor, which features good ceiling heights, offers three additional rooms and a further bathroom.
