Description

Grafton Farm presents an intriguing opportunity for those looking to invest in a charming detached cottage set on a generous 14-acre plot in a picturesque rural setting, just over 5 miles from the central line tube station. This property, with approximately 1,800 sq ft of outbuildings, is not listed, offering potential for redevelopment subject to necessary planning approvals. The ground floor features two inviting reception rooms that showcase period characteristics such as open brick fireplaces and leaded light windows, creating a warm ambiance. The kitchen breakfast room includes fitted cupboards and spaces for appliances, complemented by exposed timber beams. Access to utility and guest cloakroom adds practicality. Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms along with a bathroom. Surrounded by scenic paddocks and beautifully landscaped gardens, the expansive grounds include substantial outbuildings which could serve multiple purposes—six stables and a hay barn offer additional potential for equestrian or storage uses. Located on an unmade road between Abridge, Ongar, and Stapleford Abbotts, Grafton Farm benefits from its proximity to nature within a Site of Special Scientific Interest while still being close to local amenities and leisure options. This property could be an ideal project for renovation enthusiasts or developers looking to maximize its extensive land and building potential.
