This barrel-vaulted house, designed by award-winning architects AOC has striking contemporary looks, with its timber-clad walls and colourful windows. The house feels large and spacious.

The generous open plan kitchen and dining area will be the social hub of the home, with large doors leading to the garden and letting in plenty of light.

The first floor is bathed in natural light from above. The large landing leads to two good sized double bedrooms or a generous single bedroom. It will be perfect as a kids bedroom, if you work from home or for visiting friends or family.

The master bedroom is on the top floor, under a lovely barrel-vaulted roof and with its very own private terrace. It will be perfect for a morning coffee or relaxing at the end of the day, taking in the views over Essex.
