5 Bed Detached House, Old Mill Close, CM6

Gainsborough House is one of a collection of 11 homes in Aythorpe Roding built by Crest Nicholson in 2015. The house has been designed to echo the Essex vernacular style with symmetrical rendered elevations, tall chimney and a steeply pitched roof. Designed with modern lifestyles in mind and energy efficiency at the forefront, the property is both sustainable and stylish. 

The accommodation is light and airy and the ground floor has underfloor heating. The two principal reception rooms, with open fireplaces housing wood burners, flank the large reception hall on either side. Beyond this is the heart of the house, the 478 sq ft kitchen/family room with access directly out onto the garden and adjacent laundry room.  The expansive garden is a true retreat, featuring its own log cabin equipped with a state-of-the-art sauna, providing a serene space to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature. 

The Commodore kitchen, finished in dark grey gloss, is complemented by LED lighting, white stone work surfaces, and is fitted with Smeg appliances including two ovens, a microwave/steam oven, dishwasher and induction hob as well as an American style fridge/freezer, a washing machine and tumble dryer. The bathrooms and en suites are fitted with Roca sanitary ware, Hansgrohe taps and fittings, Saloni tiling and Amtico flooring.

There are five double bedrooms, two of which are en suite including the master bedroom which has a vaulted ceiling and fitted Draks wardrobes.

Parking is never an issue with a double garage and a double driveway that can accommodate up to four cars, offering both convenience and security.
