Dating back to the 18th century, this charming property offers considerable potential for transformation into a four-bedroom family residence set within approximately 7 acres of land. Having been owned by the same family for over seven decades, the unlisted Villa Farm presents an opportunity for modernisation while featuring several outbuildings that could serve multiple purposes such as storage, equestrian activities, or even redevelopment possibilities subject to obtaining the appropriate planning consents.
Nestled on the outskirts of Tiptree in a semi-rural context, this property is well-positioned for practical living. The central entrance hall leads to a spacious sitting room with a bay window and fireplace. At the heart of the home lies the kitchen/breakfast area, equipped with a working Aga and allowing access to the utility and dining rooms as well as outdoor space. A side access from the kitchen connects conveniently to three outbuildings.
The dining room features another bay window complemented by an exposed red brick inglenook fireplace and connects with an additional reception room that has dual aspects and has been previously utilized as a ground floor bedroom with direct bathroom access. A small basement also adds to the property's storage solutions.
On the first floor, four generously sized bedrooms await, along with a half bathroom that has space to accommodate further facilities. Notably, two front-facing bedrooms benefit from ample natural light while additional storage options enhance functionality.
The extensive outbuildings on-site present opportunities despite some structural issues; they could be adapted for various uses contingent on securing planning approvals. Outside, formal gardens are mainly laid to lawn with mature plant life and hedged boundaries while paddocks totaling around 6 acres offer grazing potential along with convenient vehicular access suitable for equestrian purposes. An adjacent paddock across from Villa Farm may also provide avenues for development upon obtaining necessary permissions.
Located in Tiptree—a lively village providing essential local amenities—this property benefits from proximity to major routes including the A12 which facilitates access to Colchester, Chelmsford, and London. Well-connected mainline stations nearby ensure swift travel options into central London. The surrounding area boasts picturesque landscapes ideal for water sports enthusiasts.
