8 bed 6 bath Detached
Substantial 8-bed Georgian family home with annex, tennis court and c.4.45 acres.
About 4.45 acres of gardens, paddocks and hard tennis court
This substantial Georgian-style family home occupies about 4.45 acres in a sought-after village setting, offering nearly 7,690 sq ft across three storeys. The house provides eight bedrooms, five reception rooms, a bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, and extensive ancillary accommodation including an annex, double garage with accommodation above and a double cart lodge. Grounds include south-facing formal gardens, paddocks, a hard tennis court and two separate gated driveways — excellent for families who value space, privacy and outdoor life.
The principal accommodation is arranged over three floors with a welcoming galleried hall, large triple-aspect sitting room with wood-burning stove and several generous bedrooms with dressing areas and en-suites. The separate annex has self-contained living space and could suit guests, live-in staff or long-term rental while the double garage and cart lodge provide substantial parking and storage.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: the house was constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and double glazing with unknown installation date. Main heating is gas boiler and radiators. Council tax is described as very expensive. These points may mean survey work and upgrading (insulation, glazing, services) should be budgeted for by an incoming buyer.
Offered chain free and set in a low-crime, affluent area with fast broadband and good local schools, this property suits buyers seeking a large family home with scope for modernisation, rental or multi-generational living. The village location provides community amenities, easy access to Witham rail links and countryside pursuits along the River Blackwater.
