Summary - WHISPERS HIGH STREET GREAT OAKLEY HARWICH CO12 5AH
5 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious five-bedroom period home with large garden and workshop in picturesque Great Oakley.
Grade II listed detached house with abundant original period features
This Grade II listed detached house in Great Oakley offers over 2,100 sqft of authentic period character across multiple reception rooms and four/five double bedrooms. Exposed beams, grand inglenook fireplaces, original floorings and sash windows create a warm, historic atmosphere ideal for families who value charm and space. The ground floor layout includes a generous kitchen with utility room, a study for home working and flexible reception space that can serve as a playroom or fifth bedroom.
The large south-facing garden, established beds and detached timber outbuilding/workshop provide scope for outdoor living, hobbies or home projects. Extensive off-road parking accommodates multiple vehicles — a practical plus in village locations. The property sits in a picturesque village with a primary school, pub, village hall and easy access to Harwich for broader amenities and transport links.
Important practical points: the listed status means any alterations will be restricted and may require specialist consent and costs. The house currently offers one four-piece bathroom to serve up to five bedrooms, and services and appliances have not been tested. Council Tax Band E and the upkeep of an older, historic building should be factored into ongoing running costs.
This home will suit buyers seeking a spacious, characterful family house with strong potential to personalise and restore, rather than those wanting a low-maintenance modern property. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, period details and garden setting.
