4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious family home with exceptional grounds and flexible outbuildings.
Four double bedrooms; principal en‑suite and three reception rooms
Approximately 1.6 acres of grounds with mature trees and manicured lawns
Secluded swimming pool, floodlit tennis court and football pitch
Detached Coach House with garaging; separate Cart Lodge and summerhouse
Grade II listed — statutory restrictions on alterations and repairs
Previous planning consent for extension lapsed; fresh consent required

Very expensive council tax; off‑street parking via two gated entrances
This Grade II listed former hunting lodge, set within approximately 1.6 acres, combines 17th‑century character with contemporary comforts. The main house offers four double bedrooms, a principal en‑suite, numerous reception rooms with exposed beams, leaded windows and an inglenook fireplace. Modern additions include underfloor heating, a bespoke kitchen with built‑in appliances and a Sonos surround system.
The extensive grounds are a major asset: a secluded swimming pool, floodlit tennis court, football pitch, natural pond and a purpose‑designed children’s play area sit alongside manicured lawns, mature trees and two gated entrances. A detached Coach House with garaging and a separate Cart Lodge provide flexible outbuildings for guests, home office or storage, plus generous off‑street parking accessed via a sweeping driveway.
Practical considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate renovation or extension work. Planning consent for a double‑storey extension was previously granted but has lapsed. Council tax is described as very expensive. Despite the semi‑rural feel, excellent transport links are nearby — Shenfield station (Elizabeth Line/fast services) is within a short drive.
This home will suit buyers seeking a character country residence with substantial outdoor amenities and flexibility from ancillary buildings, who understand and accept the constraints and costs associated with listed status and potential restoration or planning processes.
