THE PROPERTY
Designed and built by the present owners and constructed approximately 15 years ago, West Hall is an outstanding example of a contemporary country home situated in semi-rural setting on the outskirts of the popular village of Great Braxted.

The English limestone tiling comes from Lincoln Cathedral`s quarry with Cumbrian green slate slips. The Kitchen/breakfast room to the left is fitted with bespoke units with granite work surfaces and terracotta tiled floor, and has a full complement of Miele equipment.
From here access can be gained to the utility room and the double glazed garden room with vaulted ceiling and French doors which open onto the south facing garden terrace. To the right of the entrance hall are the two principle reception rooms which can be used independently or as one room by opening the American white oak double dividing doors. These two elegant rooms have dual aspect windows giving ample light, wonderful sunset views and have extended three meter ceilings heights, a most unusual feature of a modern property. The ground floor has underfloor heating and the bathroom and garden room have electric underfloor heating.
