The only way is up at this Essex barn with its own airfield

You can live like a Hollywood A lister if you buy this country pile in Essex as the garden doubles up as a private airfield.

Brock Farm, on the market for £2.3 million, is home to one of the few registered private airstrips in the county, measuring over 600 metres in length, which is suitable for light aircraft and helicopters.

But if that isn’t enough to whet your appetite, the property also generates income from two sizeable and well-stocked lakes which are currently let to a fishing club, while Tony Hawk fans will also find an outdoor skate park to practise in.

The total size of the plot connected with the property amounts to 36 acres and it is understood that the land has excellent potential for hosting equestrian events.

The five-bedroom barn conversion provides homely, open-plan living with a spacious kitchen and lounge area, plus a secondary reception and dining room divided by attractive oak beams.

The second reception room is currently set up as a games room complete with a pool table.

The master suite also offers a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom. To the rear of the property is a private enclosed rear garden, and to the front, a large parking area.

The airfield also offers a three-opening hangar and support caravan to be included within the sale.

Rightmove property expert Miles Shipside said: “Most of us dream of buying a property with more land to relax in, but to have enough space in your garden to land a light aircraft is quite something.

“The barn has been beautifully refurbished, but it’s outside where this place stands out. Imagine being able to step outside your front door and fly away on holiday just like that. It’s an amazing prospect.”
