Description

A Rare Opportunity for Idyllic Country Living.

Escape to the countryside with this extraordinary Grade II listed five-bedroom home, set within 2.25 acres of enchanting grounds and offering breath taking views towards Mersea Island and the Brightlingsea coast. This is more than a house – it’s a way of life.

Extending to over 3,000 sq. ft., this exceptional residence combines character, elegance, and modern comfort. A grand reception hall with an impressive inglenook fireplace sets the tone for the home, leading through to a beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room with an adjoining family snug, perfectly designed for both relaxed living and entertaining. A substantial utility room adds practicality, while the main living room, also featuring a striking inglenook fireplace, offers a refined yet welcoming space. Additional reception rooms include a formal dining room, a private study, and an inviting garden room, each enhancing the property’s sense of versatility and sophistication.
The ground floor further benefits from a generous bedroom with a en-suite, providing ideal guest or multigenerational accommodation. Upstairs, four further bedrooms are arranged to an equally high standard, two of which have en-suite facilities, creating an exceptional balance of space, privacy, and comfort.

Outside, the gardens are a haven of peace and privacy, with sweeping lawns, mature trees, and plenty of space for children to play or to create your dream outdoor entertaining area. Imagine summer evenings on the terrace watching the sunset.

Adding to the appeal is a substantial, over 2,300 Sq. ft, non-listed barn, brimming with potential. Whether you dream of a stunning annexe, a home office, or a creative studio, the possibilities are endless (subject to planning).

This is a home that offers so much more than just accommodation – it promises a lifestyle of space, beauty, and freedom, all within easy reach of local amenities and the Essex coast.
