Description

Situated in the picturesque village of Little Bardfield, this Grade II listed country residence offers a remarkable opportunity for renovation and investment while retaining its historical charm. Spanning approximately 3,630 square feet, this substantial detached house includes five spacious bedrooms, all with potential for modernisation. The inviting entrance hall leads to generous reception areas and a contemporary open-plan kitchen and dining space featuring authentic period timber beams—perfect for family gatherings. Additionally, there is a utility room, boot room, and a ground floor cloakroom for convenience. The first floor houses five well-lit bedrooms, including a principal suite with an en-suite bathroom and dressing area, alongside two further bathrooms catering to the remaining bedrooms. Outside, various outbuildings enhance the property's appeal: a bar/games room provides leisure space, while a certified cricket wicket in the rear paddock opens avenues for outdoor activities. The property boasts a patio leading onto expansive lawns and features an attractive topiary garden with pathways around the exterior. A double garage previously had planning permission (lapsed August 2025) for conversion into an annexe—an excellent avenue for expansion or rental income potential (Planning Reference: UTT/22/2090/HHF). Additional single garage/workshops provide versatile storage options alongside ample parking facilitated by an electric timber gate and driveway equipped with an EV charging point. Solar panels on the garage roof enhance energy efficiency. With its medieval roots and proximity to larger neighbouring villages like Finchingfield and Thaxted that offer amenities, this property not only represents ownership of a piece of local heritage but also stands as an investment ripe for personalisation.
