Summary - Dengie Manor, Manor Road, Dengie CM0 7UH
8 bed 1 bath Detached
Spectacular riverside views and extensive period grounds for restoration and family living.
Grade II listed manor dating from early 1600s
Dengie Manor is a rare Grade II listed country house offering grand period living across c.5,388 sq ft set within approximately 2.75 acres of mature grounds. The main house dates from the early 1600s with an 18th‑century Georgian façade, extensive reception rooms, a panelled music room and historic provenance that includes long family ownership and notable cultural connections. The property also benefits from outstanding views over the River Crouch, reaching towards the Thames and Kent.
Practical family use is supported by up to eight bedrooms, a separate guest wing with its own kitchen and lounge, large utility areas and a very large cellar split into five rooms. Substantial outbuildings — including a garage block with electric doors, cart lodge, workshop and former coachman’s/stables block — add useful storage, garaging and conversion potential. The site includes a kitchen garden and established orchard, enhancing self-sufficiency and landscaping opportunities.
Important practical notes: the house’s listed status will restrict changes and will require listed‑building consent for many works; maintenance and sympathetic restoration are likely to be needed in places. The current accommodation shows only one main bathroom serving many bedrooms, and council tax is very expensive. The house is relatively isolated (hamlet setting) but lies three miles from a station with direct trains to London Liverpool Street.
This is a significant opportunity for a family or buyer seeking an historic landmark estate with conversion or upgrading potential, or for those looking to preserve and enhance one of Essex’s important private residences. The plot, views and historic fabric create a unique canvas, but purchasers should allow for listed‑building responsibilities and ongoing maintenance costs.
