This distinguished Grade II listed farmhouse, once a Manor House and Court House, is situated on a sprawling 7-acre estate in the tranquil Essex countryside. Characterized by its unique blend of Georgian elegance and Tudor charm, this property features stunning architectural details including exposed beams and historic masonry. The layout comprises three adaptable reception rooms, a formal hall, and a study/craft room, creating prospects for enhanced living spaces. The farmhouse boasts a spacious kitchen complemented by dedicated laundry and boot rooms, with four ample double bedrooms, including a principal suite with an ensuite bathroom and dressing room.
The property's potential extends beyond the main residence with an annexe and double garage that includes a vaulted games room—perfect for transforming into a home office or gym. Numerous outbuildings like lock-up barns and stabling facilities provide options for equestrian pursuits or storage needs. Additionally, the expansive grounds feature an idyllic orchard ideal for hosting events, sizeable paddocks, extensive yard areas, and plenty of parking.
Previously granted lapsed planning permission for a two-storey rear extension opens up further possibilities for expansion or modern adaptation to suit multi-generational living or business ventures (subject to local planning approvals). Given its location just under three miles from Thorpe Bay station with quick access to London Fenchurch Street in approximately 55 minutes, combined with esteemed local schools nearby, this property embodies both rural serenity and investment potential. A rare opportunity awaits to breathe new life into this historic setting while exploring its various development avenues.
