Set down a private, tree-lined lane, this charming 17th Century Queen Anne property is enveloped by approximately 3 acres of picturesque grounds. Originally constructed in 1668 and with historical ties to Sir Walter Gilbey, this five-bedroom residence showcases an impressive combination of period elegance and generous proportions. Its classic architectural features include high ceilings, sash windows, and period fireplaces that add character to the living spaces. There are three reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/breakfast area with a distinctive Aga, as well as utility facilities accessible from both the front and rear of the house.
Notably, the property is not listed, providing ample opportunity for reconfiguration or enhancement without strict heritage constraints. The accommodation includes two double bedrooms on the first floor—one with an ensuite—and three additional bedrooms on the upper floor. Outside, the grounds feature mature trees, expansive lawns, and a tranquil brook, alongside useful outbuildings such as stables and a garage that could be transformed into an annexe or office (subject to planning permission).
Situated in the desirable village of Elsenham, this home is conveniently close to local amenities and transport links to London Liverpool Street and Cambridge. The potential for refurbishment makes this property not only a family home but also a solid investment opportunity in a sought-after location.
