This much loved and characterful home has been in the same family for generations and has been significantly renovated and extended by the current owners in the 45 years they have been lucky enough to live there.

Originally dating back to the 1800s and still boasting some original features, the accommodation is bathed in natural light and is immaculately presented. With an Aga at its heart, the lovely kitchen/breakfast room is the focal point of the house adding to the welcoming and homely feel of the two versatile reception rooms and the cosy dining room. There is also a useful garden room opening to the garden, a utility, cloakroom and pantry.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms including a double aspect principal suite with dressing area and large bathroom. There are two further bath/shower rooms and a wealth of wardrobe cupboards. This is the perfect family home.

The property is accessed through a brick pillared entrance giving access to the extensive gravelled driveway leading round to the cart lodge garaging and parking. The plot is deceptively generous and beautifully maintained with large expanses of lawn, an enviable terrace ideal for al-fresco dining and thoughtfully planted and well-stocked beds and borders along with an established kitchen garden. An added bonus is the large detached summerhouse with a number of French windows opening to garden, the perfect tucked away space for all-weather dining and relaxing or studio/gym/home office (with power, water and drainage). A useful garden/potting shed completes the range of outbuildings. An attractive water feature provides a pretty outlook from the house and terrace.

Church Street is a wonderfully quiet and picturesque street close the centre of this popular and well-served village situated in the delightful, rolling Essex countryside. No 16 has a lovely view directly across to the pretty church. Steeple Bumpstead has a thriving village community and good local amenities including a convenience store/post office/petrol station, a primary school, two pubs, an active village hall and a recreation ground.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
You get more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
Brokers can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
Are typically easier to get in contact with, less bureaucratic.

However with your bank maybe able to:

Build off existing relationship (discounts if you have a checking/saving account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Perhaps more trustworthy, more accountable than a smaller shop
Lower interest rates in some cases
Ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
