Description

Explore the possibilities presented by this distinctive detached farmhouse, a Grade II listed property with roots tracing back to the 17th century. Rich in history, this home showcases many original architectural details, though it now stands as an opportunity for extensive renovation. Given its current structural challenges, this property is best approached by cash buyers or those with experience in restoration projects. The interior layout features a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area, anchored by an impressive inglenook fireplace that adds to its historical charm. The ground floor also includes a kitchen/breakfast room and a convenient downstairs bathroom with a bootroom. Ascend to the upper level where three bedrooms await—each space reflecting the unique character of the home and offering ample potential for transformation. Surrounding the farmhouse are generous wraparound gardens and several outbuildings, including stables and a significant agricultural barn at the rear. This barn holds considerable potential for various uses; whether you envision it as additional residential space, a workshop, or storage facility, redevelopment possibilities abound (subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions). Located in Harlow Common, Essex, this property benefits from its serene surroundings and proximity to both residential neighborhoods and expansive green spaces. The area offers a blend of rural tranquility while being just 20 miles northeast of London, making it an attractive option for those looking to escape urban life without sacrificing accessibility. This unique property invites investors and renovators to reimagine its future while preserving its historical essence. With thoughtful restoration, this farmhouse could be transformed into a remarkable residence that reflects both past charm and modern living. Viewings are available strictly by appointment, and prospective buyers are encouraged to arrange for professional surveys to fully assess the property's condition and potential.
