5 bed terraced house

This home is set in the quintessential village of Arkesden, northwest Essex, and features a contemporary design with a bold, sculptural presence. The 3,449 sq ft property has a refined material palette and is divided into two levels, with the main living area on the upper floor and five bedrooms on the lower floor. The design features double-height and floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing for clear lines of sight from one room to another and out to the garden. The property has a distinctly rural setting, with a warm timber cladding and broad expanses of glazing that create a composition that feels both sculptural and understated. The home has a generously proportioned open-plan kitchen-living-dining space, a separate utility and pantry, and underfloor heating throughout. The five bedrooms each have well-appointed en suites, with a principal bedroom featuring a dramatic wall of glazing and a designated dressing area. The property sits within carefully landscaped grounds, with broad lawned areas and established planting, and features a sweeping gravel driveway and large terraces extending directly from the principal living spaces.
