Rectory Lane, Woodham Mortimer, Maldon, Essex, CM9

Listed Grade II being of historic and architectural
importance Woodham Mortimer Place is an elegant family home finished in a handsome Georgian fa?ade of Gault brick and Stucco. The original house dates from the 17th Century or earlier and is timber framed and plastered, under a pitched slate roof.

Once the home of the Parker family, Woodham Mortimer Place has been extended and occupied as offices before a substantial refurbishment was carried out and the house reverted into a private home.

Internally, the house continues beautifully proportioned, light and spacious reception rooms with comfortable bedroom accommodation on the first floor and second floors. Of particular note is the drawing room centred on an attractive open fireplace with decorative cornices and a bay
of three French doors opening onto the gardens. To the rear of the house is an extensive leisure area providing a sitting room, billiard room and games room together with the gym and dance studio. There is an indoor heated swimming pool and the grounds include a detached barn with one bedroom annexe, stable block and car store.

Woodham Mortimer Place provides excellent facilities including an indoor swimming pool with sauna and changing rooms. There is a separate one bedroom annexe providing useful secondary accommodation. For the riding enthusiast, there is an exceptional stable block with hard standing and an all weather m?nage. Situated within the gardens is a floodlit tennis court and pavilion. The property includes a useful traditional barn and a modern storage facility for cars. There is a separate garage adjoining the house.

The gardens and grounds provide a tranquil and mature setting for the house, laid mostly to lawn, studded with a selection of mature deciduous and evergreen trees including two magnificent Cedar of Lebanon, and an oak. A gravelled path winds through the gardens to further private lawned areas, the pond and a colourful rose garden. Beyond the garden is the paddock land, with a Summer House, but ideal flat ground for horses.

Approached through wrought iron gates on stone
piers, a long driveway winds through the grounds to the house.

The property is surrounded by well maintained
agricultural land in a pleasing rural setting.
