Occupying a plot of approximately one acre, 'Hill House' is an elegant double-fronted character residence set amidst established formal gardens and a delightful half-acre of private copse. Combining period charm with versatile living spaces and extensive outbuildings, this property offers a rare opportunity in one of Maldon’s most sought-after villages.
The ground floor accommodation comprises two spacious reception rooms, both with bay windows overlooking the gardens. The living room is further enhanced by a log-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A sun lounge on the side of the house enjoys views over the gardens and woods, while a smaller conservatory / rear porch offers additional light-filled space. The kitchen is well-proportioned, accompanied by a generous utility room and a cloakroom / WC, providing practical family living.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite includes a dressing room (formally bedroom four) and direct access to a side sun lounge, making it a bright and tranquil retreat with impressive, elevated views. Two further double bedrooms complete the accommodation, along with a family bathroom and separate WC. The property was originally designed with four bedrooms, allowing potential for reconfiguration, if desired.
The gardens are a particular feature of this home, with south-west facing lawns, a koi pond and greenhouses along with a productive and extensive vegetable patch. The grounds also include a variety of outbuildings, comprising of a large garage with workshop, and further garage / woodstore with an adjoining garden room to the side. The private copse extends to the west of the plot, providing a peaceful and secluded area - ideal for a shepherd’s hut, log cabin or similar retreat.
Parking is generous, with two driveways providing excellent access and flexibility. The north driveway, secured by twin sets of double gates, leads to a brick-paviour terrace currently over-laid with artificial grass, while the south driveway, accessed via a five-bar gate, features a hardstanding area for multiple vehicles and has a pedestrian gate into the gardens with central pathway to the house.
Situated in the highly regarded village of Great Totham, the property is within reach of local amenities including a shop, pubs, and a primary school. Witham offers nearby rail services to London Liverpool Street, while the A12 provides convenient road links to Chelmsford, Colchester, and beyond.
Hill House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period home with extensive gardens and private woodland in a tranquil yet accessible village location.
