What We Say

This is a fantastic opportunity—an attractive and well-priced property offering spacious living with two double bedrooms and the versatility of a third. The stable yard and equestrian facilities are conveniently adjacent, with all the grazing land directly to the rear. Ideal for horse owners, the layout and access work brilliantly—and with Frinton just a short drive away, sunrise and sunset beach rides are well within reach.

What The Owners Say

We loved our time at Brambles Barn, where we comfortably kept six horses and had ample space for multiple vehicles thanks to the generous parking. Over the four years we were there, we made a number of improvements and really enjoyed the privacy the property offers, along with its lovely south-facing outlook

History & Background

This charming single-storey barn style conversion offers a unique blend of character and practicality. Originally used for commercial purposes with a small living area—now fully residential—the property retains the charm of its origins while providing a spacious and comfortable home.

Internally, the accommodation features generous proportions, high ceilings, and well-designed living spaces, including a welcoming lounge with a log burner. There are two double bedrooms, one with a combination en-suite, along with a separate family bathroom. A versatile additional room off the kitchen/breakfast area offers flexibility and could serve as a third bedroom, home office, or hobbies room.

Set within approximately 3.65 acres, the equestrian facilities are particularly impressive. There are two stable blocks comprising three standard stables and two oversized stables, a field shelter/hay store, a 40m x 20m manege, all-weather turnout area, and ample grazing land. Extensive parking further enhances the appeal for equestrian use.

Offered with no onward chain and priced realistically to sell, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-appointed equestrian home in a desirable rural setting.

Setting & Location

The property enjoys a peaceful country lane setting in Weeley Heath, ideally positioned between the villages of Weeley, Great Bentley, and St Osyth. Surrounded largely by open countryside, it offers a rural lifestyle while remaining close to the east coast—just 9 miles from Frinton-on-Sea, known for its golden sandy beaches and permitted horse riding, subject to time and tidal restrictions.

Great Bentley, a charming village centred around one of the largest village greens in England, also benefits from a branch line train station just 2.5 miles from the property, offering convenient connections to London.

Set within a generous 3.65-acre plot, the property is accessed via a double five-bar gate leading directly into the yard and parking area. The grounds are private and enjoy a desirable south-facing aspect.

Accommodation

The accommodation is arranged across a single storey. As is typical with many country homes, the original front door sees little use—instead, the main entrance is via the rear, opening into a spacious and welcoming country-style kitchen/breakfast room. This superb hub of the home features a central space ideal for a farmhouse table, along with extensive fitted units incorporating some integrated appliances. Attractive Amtico hard flooring runs throughout where the electric heating also combines with air conditioning.

From the kitchen, there is access to a modern bathroom fitted with a plumbed-in shower over the bath, WC, wash basin, and heated towel rail. Also leading off the kitchen is a versatile spare room, ideal as a third guest bedroom, home office, or hobbies room.

The impressive sitting room is dual aspect, filled with natural light thanks to higher-than-average ceilings and oak-style flooring that enhances the sense of space. A traditional log burner adds a cosy focal point for the colder months, and patio doors open directly onto the rear garden.

An inner hallway leads to two double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes. The modern shower room features dual access—serving as an en-suite to one bedroom and also accessible from the hallway, offering convenient Jack-and-Jill functionality.

Grounds & Equestrian Facilities

An established, secluded garden lies to one side of the property, with a terrace area positioned to the rear of the dwelling. The wide gated entrance is set back, providing a generous turning apron with immediate parking for a horsebox, trailer, and multiple vehicles.

Adjacent to this area are two stable blocks: the first comprises two stables and a hay store, while the second offers two extra-large stables. Alongside is a 40m x 20m manege with a cushioned sand-and-carpet mix surface.

A temporary office container currently serves as a groom’s room and store; this may remain by separate negotiation if required. Beyond lies the grazing land, which includes an all-weather turnout corral and a further field shelter and hay store.
