Description

This property, available as a whole or in two separate lots, presents a unique opportunity for those with an eye for renovation and investment. For the first time in over a century, Falconers Hall and its accompanying structures are on the market, having been cherished by the same family for three generations. Positioned within secluded grounds, this mini estate boasts an elevated location that offers captivating views of the undulating countryside while remaining centrally located within the village. This particular listing focuses on Lot 2, which includes two notable entrances—one to the north and another to the east—providing access to a diverse range of substantial barns and outbuildings. Among them is 'the Top Barn,' a Grade I listed early medieval timber-framed structure, showcasing striking architectural details both inside and out. In addition to this historical gem, the complex features large machinery stores, open-sided barns, traditional stables, and other timber-framed buildings. With nearly 13,000 square feet of space situated away from the main house and surrounded by hardstanding, these structures have primarily served agricultural purposes over the years. However, they hold significant potential for conversion opportunities across various uses—subject to obtaining necessary consents—which could enhance the overall value of this small Essex estate. Importantly, there is currently no planning permission associated with this site. Situated within a conservation area under Chelmsford City Council jurisdiction, any future development will need to align with local regulations. Falconers Hall itself is enveloped in its own gardens and grounds and occupies an elevated position that allows residents to enjoy stunning vistas across arable farmland. The nearby village of Good Easter provides essential amenities including a parish church and sports field while High Easter offers additional conveniences like a post office and café. Further afield, Great Waltham enriches local living with its good local store and vibrant community spirit fostered by various clubs and groups. The surrounding area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate country walks and cycling pursuits. Just seven miles northwest lies Chelmsford city center, offering a wide array of shopping options from independent retailers to major brands along with entertainment facilities such as cinemas and theatres. For commuters, this property's location near the A12 ensures efficient access to motorways M11 and M25 while Chelmsford station facilitates direct rail links to London Liverpool Street in approximately thirty minutes. Families will also benefit from an excellent selection of educational institutions nearby—including state and private primary and secondary schools—as well as two outstanding grammar schools. This combination of features makes Falconers
