Nestled on the outskirts of the charming village of Blackmore, this Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. The property features an attractive classical façade and retains several original elements such as sash windows and fireplaces that could enhance any restoration project. With a two-storey layout, the home includes a welcoming entrance hall that leads to a formal dining room adorned with parquet flooring and an open fireplace, alongside a principal reception area featuring dual aspects and a woodburning stove, showcasing inviting views of the surrounding gardens. Two additional reception rooms provide versatile options for informal living or office spaces. The heart of the home is its kitchen/breakfast room with vaulted ceilings, leading seamlessly into an orangery—ideal for those looking to create an airy family hub.
Upstairs, the generous principal bedroom offers dual aspect views over the grounds, complemented by a dressing area and en suite bathroom. Three further bedrooms with built-in storage cater for family needs, serviced by a family bathroom.
Accessed through elegant electric cast iron gates, the property boasts ample parking with extensive outbuildings totalling almost 6,000 sq ft across four distinct barns. One barn is already fitted with bathroom facilities and its own garden—perfect for guest accommodation (subject to consent). Another functions as an office complete with kitchen and bathroom amenities, while an L-shaped barn has previously served as recreational space. The fourth barn remains undeveloped but presents significant potential for conversion into additional living space or leisure areas.
The expansive grounds extend to around 2.2 acres and consist mostly of well-maintained lawns bordered by mature trees. A terrace at the back of the house makes for inviting outdoor dining opportunities while a natural pond attracts local wildlife. Set against picturesque farmland beyond its boundaries, this property provides both privacy and serenity.
Blackmore itself boasts a friendly community atmosphere along with essential amenities including a public house and primary school. Further services are available in nearby Ingatestone, only four miles away, offering mainline train access to London. The proximity to Shenfield enhances commuting options with convenient links including the Elizabeth Line.
