This distinguished Grade II listed Georgian manor house presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property rich with potential. Set on approximately 9 acres, the estate is discreetly situated between the quiet village of Colne Engaine and the bustling market town of Halstead, just 25 miles from London Stansted Airport and within easy reach of Braintree railway station.
Constructed in the early 19th century, this residence features classic gault brick work beneath an elegant slate roof. The home boasts original architectural details such as Ionic columns and extensive period woodwork that could be further enhanced through modernization. With eight spacious bedrooms and multiple reception areas characterized by high ceilings and large sash windows, there is ample opportunity to improve living spaces while preserving their historical charm.
The expansive grounds include manicured gardens, a tennis court, stabling with paddocks, and versatile outbuildings—one of which, ‘The Coachman’s Cottage,’ offers potential for further development into ancillary accommodation (subject to planning permissions). Additionally, a former swimming pool has been repurposed as a tranquil pond.
Although well-maintained over the last 30 years by its current owners, this property invites thoughtful updates that could transform it into a stunning modern family home while retaining its historic essence. The peaceful rural location is complemented by proximity to local amenities and excellent transport links, making it an attractive prospect for buyers seeking both serenity and convenience.
