Nestled on a generous 2.6-acre plot, this historic Georgian residence dates back to 1832 and offers a unique blend of period charm and modern renovation potential. Located next to the quaint 15th Century Church of St. Margaret, the property is accessed via an inviting driveway that sets the stage for its classic architecture and spacious grounds.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a grand entrance hall that leads to multiple reception rooms, each reflecting original Georgian craftsmanship with features like elegant sash windows, intricate mouldings, and beautifully preserved floorboards. The ground floor is particularly expansive, offering five well-sized reception areas along with a utility room and a conservatory that provides a seamless connection to the surrounding gardens.
The first floor accommodates three to four spacious double bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms. The principal suite stands out with its vaulted ceiling adorned in exposed brick and timber, adding a unique character to the space. The second floor houses three additional double bedrooms that feature eaves storage, making them suitable as personal retreats or guest accommodations.
The exterior of the property holds considerable promise for transformation. A substantial coach house presents an exciting opportunity for conversion into an annexe or home office, subject to planning approval. Additionally, there is a sizable outbuilding currently utilized for storage but ripe for imaginative redevelopment. Notably, previous planning permission was granted (now expired) for a significant extension of the ground floor living area, highlighting the potential for further enhancement.
Conveniently situated just over a mile from Ingatestone, residents can easily access shops, cafes, and mainline rail services directly connecting to London Liverpool Street—perfect for commuters seeking both convenience and charm.
With no onward chain, this Georgian home represents not only an attractive investment but also an opportunity to create something truly special through thoughtful renovation and development. The Old Vicarage awaits your vision.
