Summary - Workhouse Lane, South Woodham Ferrers, CM3 CM3 8RD
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious family living with extensive grounds and flexible outbuildings.
Private gated entrance and long driveway
Ilgars Manor is a substantial, newly renovated five-bedroom family home set within just over five private acres. The property blends Georgian character — exposed brickwork and high ceilings — with contemporary living, centred on an exceptional garden/family room with full-height glazing and seamless indoor–outdoor flow onto a large terrace. The bespoke kitchen sits adjacent for easy entertaining and everyday family life.
Accommodation extends over three floors plus a cellar and includes an elegant living room, cosy snug/cinema room, games room and a generous principal suite with walk-in wardrobe and en suite; two further bedrooms also have en suites with two additional doubles served by a family bathroom. The house offers roughly 3,800 sq ft of versatile living space, ideal for multi-generational family use or home-working.
The grounds are a major asset: an imposing gated entrance, long private driveway, formal lawns, mature planting and multiple outbuildings including former stables and workshops. Outbuildings currently provide office and workshop spaces but could be reinstated for equestrian or leisure use, or used for home-based business subject to planning.
Practical considerations: the home is Grade II listed, which protects historic features but may restrict alterations and complicate consent for extensions or significant changes. Broadband speeds are very slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These are important factors for buyers who require fast connectivity or who expect to carry out substantial modernisation beyond the recent upgrades.
