Fentons Farm is a character-rich timber-framed farmhouse that showcases traditional features while offering substantial potential for renovation and modernisation. This property has seen various extensions over the years, but its original charm remains intact, making it an appealing project for investors or those looking to create their dream home. The interior exhibits unique period details such as timber paneling and exposed beams, which could be highlighted further with thoughtful restoration.
The layout begins with a welcoming reception hall that leads to versatile reception rooms; the sitting room features a striking red brick fireplace and windows on all sides, including a charming bay window that overlooks the gardens. Adjacent is a dining room enriched with exposed beams and access to the kitchen, which is well-sized and functional but ripe for updating. A cloakroom and utility space add practicality to the ground floor layout.
Upstairs, there are four generous double bedrooms, one equipped with an en-suite shower room, alongside a family bathroom that serves the other rooms.
Notably, three barns located adjacent to the farmhouse present an attractive opportunity for transformation into additional living spaces or an annexe. Planning permission has been secured for converting these Grade II listed structures into a single dwelling with added extensions—ideal for those looking to expand their property portfolio or create multi-generational living solutions.
Surrounding the farmhouse are well-maintained grounds edged by mature hedges and trees creating a tranquil environment while allowing expansive views across open fields. The location strikes a balance between rural serenity and convenient access to local amenities within Rayne and Braintree, along with excellent transport links to London.
