Description
The Accommodation
Tucked away along a quiet country lane between the thriving village of Elsenham and the charming parish of Henham, this unique, single-storey residence sits in a secluded plot of just under 3.5 acres and offers a remarkable combination of spacious modern living, equestrian facilities, and future development potential — all just a short walk from the station with direct links to London and Cambridge.
Whether you're seeking space for a growing family, the ability to run a business from home, or simply the opportunity to enjoy a more peaceful pace of life with land, stables and south-facing gardens — this is a rare find.
Extending to just over 2,000 sq ft, this individually designed home offers generous, free-flowing accommodation with excellent proportions throughout. The heart of the home is a large, dual-aspect reception room flooded with natural light, opening onto the gardens via full-height sliding doors. A traditional kitchen with garden views and a gas-fired Aga adds warmth and character.
There are five double bedrooms in total — thoughtfully arranged to provide privacy and flexibility — including a superb principal suite with en-suite bathroom and separate shower. Two further bathrooms serve the remaining bedrooms, making this a highly practical home for families or multi-generational living.
Outside
Approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, the house is set back behind established hedging with ample turning and parking space for multiple vehicles. To one side lies a brick-built double garage, and to the other, a substantial 4-bay cart lodge — ideal for vehicle storage or conversion (STPP).
The landscaped, south-facing formal gardens offer an idyllic setting to relax and entertain, while beyond lie paddocks and a well-equipped 3-stall stable block, complete with tack room, hay barn, and additional outbuildings — perfect for equestrian use, hobby farming or potential business ventures.
Agents Note – There is an annual service charge of £147.00 per annum to maintain the surface of Old Mead Lane.
