Summary - Bardfield Saling, Braintree, Essex CM7 5ED
5 bed 1 bath Detached
Grade II listed Tudor home with extensive period features
A striking Grade II listed Tudor farmhouse set in about an acre of mature gardens, this substantial five-bedroom home offers generous living space and classic period character. High ceilings, exposed timbers, leaded windows and large reception rooms create an atmospheric family home with scope to improve and personalise. The property includes an oversized double garage/barn, gated driveway with parking for several vehicles and useful cellar and storage areas.
Practical buyers should note the house has only one family bathroom and will require updating in places. As a listed building, any structural changes, extensions or conversions — including converting the garage/barn and 35ft storage — will need listed building consent and planning permission, which can delay or restrict works. The building’s historic status will also present additional maintenance responsibilities and potential cost.
This home sits in an idyllic rural setting with countryside views and easy access to nearby villages and schools, making it well suited to families seeking space and character outside town centres. The large plot, orchard, greenhouse and vegetable plots appeal to buyers wanting private outdoor space. Chain-free sale simplifies purchase timing, but buyers should budget for higher council tax and the specialist work that a listed property can require.
