A beautiful 16th century home in a private setting and added spa facilities is on the market in Essex.
The grade-II listed country house in Coggeshall Road, Kelvedon, is a five-bedroom and three-bathroom home, stretching across 5,318 sq ft of living space.
A long driveway approaches the house, which dates back to around 1575, with additions made in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Guests and residents are greeted by a stunning south facing Georgian facade and a spacious entrance hallway leading to both the drawing room and the study on the ground floor.

The drawing room with its high corniced ceilings and attractive fireplace offers beautiful views onto the courtyard.
Hearth and oak flooring, as well as the exposed brick inglenook fireplace in the sitting room add to the homely feeling of the house.
Character features like the overhead beams are spanning the length of the older section of the house.
The kitchen offers an excellent range of appliances with fitted Bulthaup cabinets, a central island and an original bread oven.

The adjoining utility room gives plenty of storage space, and access to the cellar and patio behind the house.
On the first floor is the spacious bedroom accommodation, with a dual aspect principal bedroom suite with an ensuite shower room and attached dressing room.
Through the windows residents can enjoy amazing views over the immediate garden and across the wildflower meadow beyond.
A further bedroom suite, two more bedrooms and the family bathroom are also located on the first floor.
The second floor accommodates two large attic rooms, which could be used as bedrooms.
Placed on almost 12 acres of land, the property includes an extensive range of outbuildings adjacent to the house.
Most impressive is the large party barn, with approximately 3,821 sq ft and a spacious gravel courtyard in front with plenty of parking.
