Description

This historically significant Grade I listed family residence is poised for rejuvenation on approximately 10 acres of private land. With six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and six reception rooms, this property presents a rare opportunity for those looking to invest in a home with rich architectural heritage. While the impressive features, including a tennis court, swimming pool, and extensive gardens are noteworthy, Crepping Hall requires a dedicated approach to restoration to truly shine again. Built around an original 12th-century hall, the house reflects centuries of architectural evolution—from Victorian extensions to Edwardian elegance—culminating in a modern orangery that brings natural light into the heart of the home. Inside, many original features remain intact; however, it is clear that both modernization and conservation efforts are necessary. The interiors include grand reception rooms adorned with period details such as timber beams and parquet flooring. The layout allows for captivating views over the landscaped gardens but would benefit from updates to ensure comfort and energy efficiency for contemporary living. Outdoors lie expansive lawns, classic knot gardens, and mature trees alongside a double garage with studio above. Each element holds potential for enhancement or redesign to maximize usability while respecting the historical context of this remarkable estate. Set in Wakes Colne, a serene rural village within Essex's picturesque landscape, this property not only has historical significance but also offers easy access to vibrant community life and transport links. This could be an excellent investment for those seeking both a legacy project and a peaceful retreat.
