The Laurels is a Grade II listed, timber‑framed family home dating from 1605, set on a very large plot in sought‑after Baschurch. Period features are extensive — exposed beams, multiple feature fireplaces, quarry tiles and oak framing — balanced with sympathetic modern upgrades including a newly renovated kitchen and contemporary bathrooms.
Accommodation is substantial (circa 6,057 sq ft) across multiple storeys: five double bedrooms, spacious reception rooms, cellar/wine store, study/office space and an indoor heated swimming pool with adjoining sauna and changing rooms. Practical spaces include a utility, pantry, engine room and three large garages. A detached stable block at the rear offers conversion potential subject to planning permission.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and can complicate works; the pool, sauna and extensive grounds carry ongoing maintenance and running costs; heating is mixed (oil AGA, gas central heating and multiple log burners) which may affect fuel planning. Tenure details are not provided and should be confirmed.
This home will suit a lifestyle buyer or family seeking period character with modern amenities and substantial indoor/outdoor leisure space. It will also appeal to purchasers who understand listed‑building responsibilities and are prepared for the upkeep of a large historic house and grounds.
