Set within about 6.5 acres of mature parkland, this substantial Georgian‑Revival country house combines historic character with contemporary leisure living. Spacious reception rooms, high ceilings and tall arched windows give generous natural light, while formal terraces and a walled garden provide private outdoor rooms for family life and entertaining. The property includes a paddock with stabling, substantial garaging and outbuildings suited to equestrian or multi‑use purposes.
Leisure facilities are a standout: an indoor heated swimming pool with adjoining sauna and jacuzzi, a private tennis court and a dedicated games/snooker room create an on‑site wellness and entertainment hub. The principal suite offers a large dressing room and en suite; overall there are five bedrooms and six bathrooms, arranged across an irregular but flexible footprint that will suit family living or hosting guests.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, fast broadband, and ready rail access — Kelvedon station is nearby with services to London Liverpool Street in around 48 minutes. There is potential to reinstate previously approved (now lapsed) planning to convert the detached garage into a guest house/annexe should a new owner want additional accommodation or ancillary income.
Important factual points: the grounds and leisure facilities demand ongoing upkeep and gardening expertise; council tax is very expensive. The property sits in a quiet, semi‑isolated hamlet setting with average mobile signal and average local crime levels. Buyers should consider the running costs and maintenance of a large estate when viewing.
