Standing elevated in well maintained private formal gardens of approximately 1/2 acre or thereabouts adjoining the 16th Tee of Mere Golf Club with distant lakeside views beyond, Thaxted is a substantial detached family house originally constructed by Messers Crosby Homes. Traditionally constructed of white painted brick elevations under a pitched & hipped tiled roof the accommodation has been altered and in part remodelled since construction and now comprises family accommodation over three floors. A gated sweeping driveway provides security, privacy and ample parking which leads to the integral double garage. The bright and spacious house affords flexible family accommodation over three floors with almost every room enjoying a super view either over the formal gardens to the front and side or even more wonderful over the golf course and lake beyond to the rear. Of particular mention should be the custom built maple kitchen with integrated appliances and granite working surfaces and a rather smart 'art deco' styled white bathroom of which there are three, one en-suite to the master bedroom along with a walk-in dressing room. In addition there is a detached self-contained timber annexe presently used as a gym but would be ideal for a dependant relative, teenager or for those wishing to work from home as an office.
