Property Description
Experience the essence of Essex village living in this distinguished historic home. Perfectly positioned in the heart of the village, 17 Scholes Lane is a master class in period charm and modern amenities offering a peaceful, sun-drenched retreat where 18th-century soul blends seamlessly with high-end, contemporary finishes. Thoughtfully renovated to prioritize water view, light and flow. At its center is the airy chef's kitchen, a striking space featuring, architectural drama, soaring vaulted ceilings and oversized windows that bathe the room in natural light and maximize the expansive water view. Exquisite finishes, custom cabinetry anchored by a natural stone island, and designer details like premium Waterworks fixtures provide a polished, timeless touch.
