Summary - The Barn, Stanford Rivers CM5 9PQ
3 bed 3 bath Barn Conversion
Spacious character home on a large plot, ideal for families and hobbyists.
Secure gated entrance and cobbled courtyard parking for several vehicles
Set behind secure electric gates in a peaceful hamlet, this substantial 2,589 sq ft barn conversion blends original character with generous, adaptable living space. The main lounge is a showpiece with a feature fireplace and log burner; three double bedrooms all benefit from en-suite facilities, and the principal suite opens onto a private balcony and sun terrace with countryside views.
Practical strengths include a detached double garage, cobbled courtyard parking for several cars, fast broadband and surprisingly economical council tax. The house sits on a very large plot with mature grounds and outbuildings nearby, offering scope for gardens, hobby paddocks or additional landscaping subject to planning.
Buyers should note material and location considerations: the kitchen is compact relative to the home's overall scale and some rooms would benefit from updating or reconfiguration to match modern family living. The area records higher local crime rates and is classified as relatively deprived, so buyers prioritising absolute security and local services should allow for that. Mobile signal is average.
This property will suit families or buyers seeking a roomy countryside home with character and flexibility — someone prepared to personalise parts of the layout to fully exploit the size, plot and terrace aspects. Easy road links to Ongar and Epping and a 13-minute drive (c.7.7 miles) to the station keep this rural retreat connected.
