Description

Nestled in the picturesque village of Little Bardfield, this Grade II listed country home marries historical significance with the potential for modern living. Spanning approximately 3,630 square feet, the property features five spacious bedrooms and offers expansive countryside views that enhance its appeal. The entrance hall welcomes you to large reception areas alongside a contemporary kitchen/dining space adorned with traditional timber beams, perfect for family gatherings. Practical amenities include a utility room, a boot room, and a ground floor cloakroom. Upstairs, each bedroom is generously sized with the principal suite boasting an en-suite and dressing area while two additional bathrooms serve the remaining rooms. Among its unique attributes are various outbuildings including a bar/games room that enriches the entertainment options available on-site, as well as certified cricket facilities in the rear paddock—a definite draw for sports enthusiasts. The exterior features a patio area leading to a lawn and a beautifully maintained topiary garden with pathways wrapping around the property. A double garage previously had planning permission (which expired August 2025) for conversion into an annexe—an enticing prospect for those looking to expand or create rental income. There are also two single garage/workshops providing substantial storage or workspace potential. The electric car charging point and solar panels further add to this property's forward-thinking aspects. Rich in history yet ready for modernization, this residence offers an exceptional opportunity to shape it into your dream home while honouring its architectural heritage. The nearby villages of Finchingfield, Thaxted, and Great Bardfield offer local amenities set against a backdrop of scenic walks, adding to the allure of this investment.
