This remarkable 18th-century farmhouse, originally two cottages, is nestled in the scenic North Essex countryside, offering an abundance of historical charm and potential. Designed over three storeys, the property features a variety of elegantly sized rooms that seamlessly blend tradition with modern family living. The ground floor boasts a welcoming layout ideal for both relaxation and social gatherings, highlighted by an inviting sitting room with an impressive exposed brick fireplace and original timber beams. Adjacent to this, the dining room provides a perfect backdrop for family meals. The snug area offers a quiet retreat or workspace with direct access to the garden.
The spacious kitchen/breakfast room serves as the heart of the home, featuring a traditional Aga and handcrafted cabinetry—though there may be opportunities for updating or redesigning this space to fit contemporary needs.
Moving upstairs, you will find several generously proportioned bedrooms with characterful features such as fireplaces and sash windows allowing for ample natural light. Two staircases lead to two attic bedrooms on the top floor that could be further developed into functional living spaces.
The surrounding grounds are picturesque and well-maintained but present a chance for landscaping improvements or gardening enhancements. A double garage offers practical storage solutions and has potential for conversion into additional living space or creative uses pending necessary permissions. With various original elements throughout waiting to be restored or creatively reimagined, this property represents a unique investment opportunity in a peaceful setting.
