Description

Introducing a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional 16th-century timber-framed farmhouse, known as Great Biggins, which has the potential for significant renovation and investment. This Grade II listed property comes with approximately 9 acres of land, complete with various outbuildings that present unique possibilities for redevelopment or further enhancement. The property is being offered in its current state, allowing buyers to envision their own restoration plans. Nestled at the end of a long driveway and surrounded by a peaceful wooded area, this farmhouse commands an enviable position overlooking its gardens and moat. It boasts proximity to the charming village of Finchingfield, noted for its scenic beauty and community amenities including shops and eateries. Major transport links are within easy reach, with Audley End Train Station providing direct access to London Liverpool Street in about 55 minutes. Given the property's condition, it is likely unsuitable for mortgage financing, thus appealing primarily to cash buyers who are keen on undertaking extensive refurbishment to revive this historic home.
