Great Gibcracks is a substantial period property boasting impressive painted brick elevations and charming sash windows. With approximately 3,500 sq. ft of internal living space, this seven-bedroom residence presents considerable potential for renovation and modernisation, making it an attractive investment. The interior retains much of its original character, featuring exposed timber beams and elegant fireplaces that add to its period charm.
The ground floor includes five generous reception rooms, ideal for leisure or entertaining. Notably, the drawing room with a traditional brick fireplace opens onto a sunny conservatory, while the sitting room benefits from dual aspects and a welcoming fireplace. Additional spaces include a formal dining room and a study at the rear of the house.
The spacious kitchen and breakfast area offers farmhouse-style cabinetry with ample appliance space, complemented by a utility room for further storage needs.
On the first floor, four well-proportioned double bedrooms can be found, including a principal suite with built-in storage and an en suite shower room. A family bathroom with both tub and shower is also located here. Ascend to the second floor to discover three additional bedrooms—one serves as an ideal study or dressing area due to its layout—with eaves storage in two of them.
The property sits on approximately 2.2 acres of beautiful gardens that back onto idyllic Essex countryside. The detached timber-framed cart lodge provides parking options while additional outbuildings—including a workshop/office combo—offer further development possibilities (subject to necessary permissions). The side and rear gardens feature expansive lawns, meadows dotted with mature trees, presenting scope for extensive landscaping projects.
Strategically located just outside Howe Green village and close to Chelmsford's bustling amenities and excellent transport links—including mainline services to London—this property not only promises comfortable living but also represents a significant opportunity for growth through renovation.
