Summary - Burrsville, Frating Road, Thorrington CO7 8HT
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Equestrian-ready estate with extensive outbuildings and studio.
Five double bedrooms with ensuite and two bathrooms
Burrsville is a substantial five-double-bedroom detached house set within about six acres, ideal for a family or equestrian buyer seeking space and outbuildings. The house offers flexible accommodation across approximately 2,300 sq ft, including two reception rooms, a kitchen/living space, conservatory and ground-floor bedroom/study. Recent improvements have modernised interiors while retaining a traditional exterior and generous room proportions.
The estate includes extensive outbuildings — over 4,000 sq ft — with modern stabling (five 12' x 12' stables), a manège, workshop, large studio with kitchen and toilet, and multiple storage barns. Driveway parking, a detached double garage with power and light, and mature screening from the road add practical convenience and privacy. The private field is post-and-rail fenced and has separate vehicle access.
Important practical notes: heating is oil-fired to a boiler and radiators, drainage is to a private cess pit, and the EPC rating is F. The house is of mid-20th century construction with cavity walls assumed to be uninsulated; some energy-improvement work and ongoing maintenance should be expected. Council Tax is band F and described as expensive.
Location benefits include village-edge rural setting with nearby Great Bentley services and a railway link to London, plus Outstanding and Good local primary and secondary schools. This property suits buyers wanting space, equestrian facilities or development potential, but those prioritising low running costs or immediate move-in without upgrades should note the energy and drainage considerations.
