Summary - East Mersea Road, West Mersea CO5 8SL
4 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious equestrian estate with development permissions and estuary views.
Four double bedrooms; three en suites plus family bathroom
Set on a substantial 10-acre plot bordering farmland, this four-double-bedroom detached modern farmhouse combines high-spec family living with extensive equestrian and development potential. The house, built in 2021, offers bright open-plan living around a bespoke Davenport kitchen, three en-suite bedrooms plus a further family bathroom, a cinema room and underfloor-heated living powered by an air-source heat pump. Extensive outbuildings exceed 5,000 sq ft and include established stables, a tack room and a floodlit ménage for year-round riding.
The grounds include three post-and-rail paddocks, a pony paddock, irrigation lake and two large outbuildings — one with planning permission for conversion into a two-bedroom dwelling and separate approved planning for a detached bungalow. These permissions, together with the former commercial hen-house set-up, present clear income or redevelopment opportunities for minded buyers.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: the property sits in a rural, low-crime hamlet with average mobile signal and slow broadband speeds, which may affect home-working or streaming without upgraded connectivity. Main services are electric with an air-source heat pump; the electricity tariff is unspecified. Maintaining a very large plot, multiple outbuildings and equestrian facilities will require ongoing time and cost commitment.
This home will suit buyers seeking country lifestyle with immediate equestrian use and medium-term development value — families, equestrian enthusiasts or investors who value privacy, views across farmland and estuary panoramas, and who are comfortable managing rural utilities and upkeep.
