The added space has floor-to-ceiling windows and would be perfect as an office, home gym, yoga or artist studio.

Upstairs, the property boasts three spacious bedrooms and a principal suite, complete with built-in wardrobes and a luxury en-suite.

The homes on the development have also been designed with energy efficiency in mind.

Each home has an efficient combination boiler as well as measures to reduce energy and water usage.

“As in-house specialists, we got involved in the design process at the very beginning, forming the idea of the ideal Essex country home for our buyers.

“We wanted to create a space that was both comfortable and inviting, but also luxurious, offering flexible stylish living.

“It was a great joy to design The Rowley’s office pod, a versatile, multi-functional space, which we hope will cater to a variety of buyers’ needs.”
