Summary - HOUSEGROUND BARNSTON DUNMOW CM6 3PR
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Substantial five-bedroom listed farmhouse with pool, gym and extensive outbuildings.
Grade II listed 17th-century country home with abundant period features
A beautifully presented Grade II listed country home dating from the 17th century, offering adaptable five-bedroom accommodation across an L-shaped plan. Character features such as exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces and woodburners combine with a bespoke kitchen/dining area, underfloor heating and bi-fold doors opening to a sun terrace and well-kept garden. The principal suite enjoys countryside views, a dressing area and a generous en-suite.
The property sits in private grounds in excess of 0.5 acre with a gated in-and-out driveway, extensive parking, detached garaging and multiple outbuildings. A substantial outbuilding incorporates a heated indoor swimming pool with atrium roof and an adjoining gym; further storage/machinery space and a separate storage building increase the estate’s utility. There is clear scope for an annex conversion (subject to planning permission) if additional self-contained accommodation is required.
Practical points to note: the house is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and require consent. Heating is a mix (air-source heat pump to the pool; historical oil central heating referenced) and the property uses private drainage; council tax is noted as relatively high. For families the location is peaceful and rural while remaining within reach of local towns, schools and major road links, making it a substantial country residence with substantial leisure and storage amenities.
This home will suit buyers seeking a character-rich rural residence with large indoor leisure facilities and flexible ancillary buildings, who are comfortable managing the responsibilities that come with listed status and private services.
