8 bed 5 bath Detached
Eight-bedroom country estate with ancillary accommodation, tennis court and about 4.45 acres..
Approx. 7,688–5,120 sq ft living (large overall footprint)
Discreetly set within about 4.45 acres, this substantial eight-bedroom, three-storey house combines period character with flexible modern living. The principal suites, generous reception rooms and bespoke kitchen create comfortable family accommodation, while the ancillary outbuilding and accommodation above the double garage offer multi-generational or rental potential. A hard tennis court, double cart lodge and sweeping garden terraces enhance the estate’s country lifestyle.
Practical strengths include two gated driveways, extensive parking, double garage with accommodation above, and good EPC rating of C for a property of this age. The detached outbuilding has self-contained living space, useful for guests, staff or income. The southerly landscaped gardens, paddocks and uninterrupted views toward the River Blackwater provide privacy and strong outdoor amenity for families or equestrian use.
Buyers should note this is a pre-1900 solid-brick construction; wall insulation is assumed absent and upgrades may be required to modernise thermal efficiency. The scale of the house and grounds brings ongoing maintenance and garden upkeep costs. Council Tax Band H reflects high running costs. The property is offered chain-free, allowing a straightforward move for a buyer prepared for large-country house ownership.
This home suits a family seeking spacious, flexible accommodation in an affluent village setting, or an investor looking for a distinctive country asset with ancillary income options. With good road links to Witham and Chelmsford and nearby schools, it balances rural privacy with practical accessibility.
