Set within a secure gated cluster of five converted barns on the outskirts of Great Dunmow, this impressive modern barn conversion offers over 5,200 sq ft of flexible family living across a very large half‑acre plot. High vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and full‑height glazing create abundant natural light through an open living/dining/kitchen heart, while principal and guest suites and generous reception rooms suit growing families and multigenerational living.
The site includes substantial outbuildings: a detached double garage plus a four‑bay cart lodge with separate garage, ground‑floor kitchen and shower room and a large first‑floor annexe/home office/gym/games room with glazed views. That annexe provides genuine adaptable space for home working, independent living or leisure use. Practical features include underfloor heating in primary living zones, home automation thermostats, air‑conditioning to the annexe, water softeners and gigabit fibre internet.
Buyers should note material running and servicing details: heating is oil‑fired (shared oil tank feeding both buildings), the development uses a shared Klargester private sewage system, and there is an annual communal service charge of £700. Council tax band is high. The property was converted in 2011 (cart lodge added 2016) and planning has been secured twice previously by the current owners — helpful if further change is considered.
This home will suit families seeking rural privacy with strong transport links (A120, Stansted and rail connections within reasonable drive) and those wanting a ready‑made annexe or extensive home‑working space. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, light and countryside outlook alongside the practical servicing considerations.
