Sitting behind dual electric gates, the property affords excellent privacy from the road and, with over 3,000 sq ft of accommodation, there is more than enough space to comfortably host even the largest of family gatherings, inside and out.

The well-chosen Dynason real wood flooring is simply stunning and flows through the primary ground floor areas and up onto the landing, where access to four bedrooms, an en-suite shower room and a statement main bathroom with a freestanding slipper bath can be found.

The lounge benefits from concealed LED ambient lighting, whilst the enviable rear playroom and sitting room features a lantern roof, two sets of bi-fold doors and a wood burner, a space that will be the envy of every visitor.

A bit of history
Ramsden Bellhouse and Ramsden Heath are now two separate villages, but until the first part of the 20th Century they were one village, which stretched from Stock in the north to Nevendon in the south.
The village was centered around the crossroads, where today the war memorial stands, in front of the White Horse Pub.
Confusingly it was known back then as Ramsden Bellhouse with Ramsden Heath simply an area of heathland to the north of the village.
About 1910 Homesteads Ltd bought Ramsden Bellhouse Farm and built an estate centre around St. Mary's Church about a mile from the old village which became known as Ramsden Bellhouse, and gradually the old village became Ramsden Heath.
