Moorings is a substantial Grade II listed family house sitting on about a half‑acre plot on the edge of Kelvedon, with long views over neighbouring fields and a large, mature garden. The house dates to circa 1700 and retains period features throughout — exposed beams, high ceilings and multiple reception rooms — while offering practical modern touches such as underfloor heating in the kitchen and a Rayburn that also provides central heating.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes six bedrooms (four doubles and two singles), a modern family bathroom and an ensuite, plus three reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room with French doors to the side. Outside there is a triple cartlodge with a games room above, extensive parking and a summerhouse, making the plot particularly well suited to family life and multi‑generational use.
Important practical points are clear: the property’s Grade II listing will restrict alterations and will make some works more complicated and costly, and the house is in a high council tax band. The layout and period nature offer scope for sympathetic modernisation or selective extension, but any changes will require the appropriate listed‑building consents. Buyers should also note there are two bathrooms for six bedrooms.
Positioning is strong for commuters and village families: Kelvedon mainline station is within walking distance with direct services to London, reputable nearby schools and a local high street of independent shops and pubs. For purchasers looking for a character home with generous grounds and clear potential to improve, this property offers an unusual combination of size, setting and period charm.
