Setting the scene
The extensive grounds at Hornbeams have been carefully landscaped and now have a parkland style. At the front is an impressive sweeping carriage drive. Behind the house, manicured lawns and mature trees surround the lake, which is full of fish and attracts all sorts of wildlife.
"It feels very private when you are out in the grounds. You can walk round the lake and through the wooded areas," said the owner. The landscape beyond the grounds is also very attractive, with more mature trees and fields.
There's a Detached Four Car Garage, which also incorporates a large first floor Studio measuring 49'6 x 19'4.

"Hornbeams is in a perfect location for anyone who wants easy access to London. It only takes 40 minutes to get into the city," said the owner.
"The A12 is not too far and it's easy to get to Stansted Airport. Colchester and Chelmsford are also close by."
With Whitham High Street just 10 minutes walk, shops, restaurants and pubs are also within easy reach.
And, added the owner: "The house is also next to Benton Hall Golf and Country Club."
