Myleswood is an exceptional new development by five-star housebuilder Stonebond, launching in the desirable and historic village of Kelvedon Hatch, Essex. This exclusive collection features beautifully designed three to five-bedroom detached homes, combining contemporary living and high-quality features with a peaceful, green setting. The development caters to a wide range of buyers but is especially well-suited to families seeking generous living space, natural surroundings, and access to outstanding educational opportunities. In collaboration with Persona Homes, a third of the properties will also be available through shared ownership; offering first-time buyers an exceptional opportunity to take their first step onto the property ladder within a prime location.
The beautifully designed homes balance modern style and premium quality with a peaceful yet well-connected location. Spacious, open-plan living areas are flooded with natural light, while thoughtful design provides room for families to grow and thrive. Every home includes a study on the ground floor, an en-suite to the principal bedroom and plentiful storage for a clutter-free lifestyle. Gardens are generously sized, while the development also provides a lovely area of shared greenspace surrounded by footpaths.
Houses at Myleswood showcase exceptional attention to detail, from their cashmere painted joinery to thoughtful touches such as the inclusion of wine coolers, feature Crittall glass screens to living areas, concealed cisterns and staircase lighting. The same thought has been applied to sustainability, with every home featuring an air source heat pump, underfloor heating, advanced insulation, double-glazed windows, energy-saving LED lights and water-saving devices such as aerated taps and dual-flush toilets. Smart thermostats and energy monitoring systems ensure homeowners can optimise energy usage, while electric vehicle charging points support greener travel.
Myleswood’s charming village location opens up the beauty of the Essex countryside to those who like to spend time in nature. Weald Country Park, with woodland, open grassland, wildflower meadows and a deer park, is just 10 minutes from the newly launched homes, while the 8,000-acre Epping Forest is a 25-minute drive. Closer to home, nearby Poors’ Field adds to the outdoor recreation options with sports pitches, tennis courts and a welcoming children’s play area. Golfers are well-served, with several golf clubs in the surrounding area, including the renowned Bentley Golf Club just a mile from Myleswood, while living in Kelvedon Hatch also puts several riding schools and stables within easy reach.
Balancing out the delights of farm shops and woodland walks is easy access to London, with direct trains from nearby Shenfield Station taking as little as 23 minutes to reach Liverpool Street Station.
