We are pleased to bring to the market The Malt House, a stunning Grade II listed home dating back to the late 18th century. This characterful property blends historical charm with modern living across two spacious floors.
The ground floor comprises a versatile reading room, study, and living room, leading to a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting area. A utility room and cloakroom complete the accommodation.
The first floor hosts four bedrooms, including a principal suite with a dressing room and en-suite. A second bedroom also benefits from an en-suite, alongside a separate family bathroom.
Set within three acres of breathtaking grounds, the exterior features a double garage, outbuildings, a walled garden, and a pond. The mature gardens include rare specimen trees and a sunken garden, offering total privacy.
Situated in Bran End, Stebbing, the home enjoys a rural setting with easy access to Great Dunmow, Felsted School, and major commuter links via the A120 and M11.

Grounds - Adjacent to the garage is a brick outbuilding housing a wood store, oil tank and a stable/small garage. Approximately three acres of beautiful grounds, created by the owner, are a particular feature of the property. A gate at the front of the house leads to an oval shaped lawn surrounded by a gravel path and box-hedging partly enclosed by a low brick wall. To the rear, a stone paved terrace opens out onto a lawn area which slopes down to a pond. A forested area to the left of the pond displays a rare, beautiful Davida Involuciata (dove tree/pocket handkerchief tree). The covered well has an electric pump and provides all the water for the garden. To the side, behind a high red brick feature wall, is a further area of lawn enclosed by a high evergreen hedge. This area has over stocked herbaceous borders and leads into a sunken garden overlooked by a particularly wonderful magnolia grandiflora. Behind the first hedge it opens out into a beautiful expansive area of grass with a variety of young and mature specimen trees including beech, acer, Norwegian maple, oak and ash, sloping down to a delightful 'dell' to the south west. At the rear there is a dense hedge of trees and shrubs with a gate which leads to a grass pathway which slopes away to the neighbouring farmer's woodland.
Double Garage & Driveway Parking - The property is approached via a gravel drive leading to a double garage and parking area for a number of cars.
Location - The Malt House is situated in the rural hamlet of Bran End, in a delightful stretch of countryside to the north of the village of Stebbing, which has a community run general store, public house and a church. Further shopping and recreational facilities are provided nearby in Great Dunmow and Braintree. There are a number of schools in the area including a primary school at Stebbing, a secondary school at Great Dunmow and a public and preparatory school in Felsted. For the commuter there is access out onto the A120 at Great Dunmow which links with the M11 to the west and there are train stations at Bishop's Stortford, Stansted Airport, Witham and Chelmsford.
