A rare Grade II listed Essex barn set in about 3.2 acres, offered with planning permission (ref 24/027/FUL) to create a 4-bedroom main house of approximately 2,626 sq ft and a ready-to-use 3-bedroom annexe. The plot includes established equestrian facilities — manège, stables and paddocks — and enjoys wide countryside views in a semi-rural village location 3.5 miles north of Braintree.
The approved conversion proposes generous living space with a large kitchen/living/dining area, formal living room, study, playroom and a principal suite. The detached annexe (approx. 1,317 sq ft) already provides independent accommodation ideal for multi-generational use, home office, or rental income while the barn conversion is completed. Private driveway, off-street parking and mains services are provided; drainage is via a septic tank.
Important practical points: the building is Grade II listed which will impose restrictions and likely extra costs on alterations and finishes. The barn requires conversion work to realise the approved scheme, and ongoing conservation responsibilities are expected. Buyers should allow for listed-building compliance costs and survey/consultant fees.
For families or equestrian buyers seeking a substantial country property with conversion potential, this offers a compelling long-term prospect. With planning in place and significant land and facilities, the completed scheme is advised by market commentary to have a resale tone in excess of £1.3m, though that figure is guidance not a formal valuation.
