Summary - WAINSFORD FARM LITTLE BARDFIELD BRAINTREE CM7 4TW
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious period home with huge grounds and modern eco features.
Five-bedroom Grade II listed farmhouse, origins in the 14th century
This Grade II listed farmhouse dates from the 14th century and sits in about 1.75 acres of private grounds, offering five bedrooms and extensive reception space across an irregular, historic footprint. Period features — exposed timber beams, multiple chimneys and large fireplaces — are paired with modern conveniences including solar panels and an electric car charging point on site.
Ground-floor accommodation includes four spacious reception rooms, a kitchen/dining space with beams, utility, boot room and cloakroom; upstairs are five good-sized bedrooms, a principal with dressing room and en suite, plus two further bathrooms. The plot includes a double garage, single garage/workshops, four/five outbuildings and a certified cricket wicket in the rear paddock, creating flexible space for hobbies, entertaining or incidental income uses.
There is potential to adapt or expand: previous planning (now expired) approved conversion of the double garage to an annexe (UTT/22/2090/HHF). Listed status and the property’s age mean any extensions, significant alterations or repairs will require specialist consent and may add cost and lead time. The house also shows scope for updating in places, so buyers should allow budget for maintenance and sympathetic renovation.
Set in a tranquil village with fast broadband and good local primary schools nearby, the home suits a family seeking character, space and countryside privacy. It will particularly appeal to buyers prepared for the responsibilities of a listed building and who value a substantial plot with versatile outbuildings.
