Hoglands lies on the outskirts of the picturesque West Essex village of Little Easton which is situated about 2 miles from the edge of the Flitch town of Great Dunmow and is well placed for the A120 dual carriageway and the M11 (J8) at Bishops Stortford.
An individual country house set at the end of a long private driveway surrounded by meadows, woodland and farmland, the property has seen some very significant changes over the last forty years, including two extensions, the most recent about fifteen years ago which included the addition of a high quality conservatory/summer room and refurbishment to a very high standard. This work was undertaken by well-regarded local builders in association with skilled local craftsmen who have undertaken the work without compromise. There are many attractive details in the property, high quality bath/shower rooms and a very fine bespoke kitchen.
On the ground floor, an attractive period door leads to the entrance hall which has a fine oak staircase, there is a generously proportioned drawing room with an attractive fireplace with a marble surround and two sets of wide French doors to the terrace. There is a dual aspect dining room and an excellent kitchen/breakfast room which was crafted by a local carpenter and has an extensive range of storage cupboards, slate work surfaces, integrated appliances, central island with a curved oak top and a free standing shelved larder cupboard. This room opens to an orangery with three quarter height windows on three sides which was constructed by local firm Westbury. There is also a utility room with butler sink, water softener, pantry and broom cupboard.
On the first floor there is a generously proportioned triple aspect master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bath/shower room with stone flooring and two hand basins. There are three further bedrooms, all with en suites.
Outside, the house is accessed from a private driveway leading to the front of the house where there is an extensive parking area, a double garage with an office behind and a stable block with three stables. The gardens are easily maintained laid to lawn with an extensive terrace on two sides and a shallow brick retaining wall. The grounds in total amount to approximately 1.5 acres.
