STEP inside this incredible home which dates back to the 15th century and could be yours for £850,000.
St Marys House in St Marys Square, Kelvedon, is a beautiful Grade II listed four bedroom family home.
The timber framed village home dates back to the 15th century and saw additions made to the main house in the 16th, 18th and 19th centuries.
Over a total of three storeys, the home unites traditional architecture and contemporary features.
Its prominent position in the heart of Kelvedon leads to suggestions that it may have been built as a market hall for the Abbot of Westminster and was later converted to a home after the dissolution.
Stepping into the home, a vaulted reception hall is greeting everyone setting foot into the home.
Within the glass threshold, historical items related to the house’s past are displayed, while two reception rooms await off the hall.
The dining room with a Victorian fireplace and early 19th century fitted cupboards lies opposite the sitting room with an Adam Style fireplace along with an 18th century alcove and corner cupboard.
Towards the rear of the ground floor is the spacious, vaulted kitchen located, which includes a dining room, and provides a great space for entertaining with access to the veranda garden.
An elegant staircase dating back to the 19th century is leading up to the first floor, leading to the main suite with a family bathroom and dressing room.
On the same floor is also a library, next to the second bedroom, while the other two additional bedrooms with a shower room are located on the second floor.
A mature rear garden, which faces east, has been laid to lawn interspersed with various trees and shrubs, adding to the character and charm of this stunning family home.
The stone terrace extends from the rear of the house and delivers an excellent space to enjoy the outdoors for entertaining or relaxing.
A detached outbuilding to the rear of the garden is currently used as a studio office space, as well as a darkroom.
Family cars find space beneath the car port and on the driveway, which can be accessed by the car park of the neighbouring property.
St Marys House is on the market as a freehold with a guide price of £850,000 at Savills.
