Pepples Lane, Wimbish, CB10

Tucked away at the end of a quiet country lane, Conyards Farmhouse is an exquisite Grade II listed home that perfectly balances period charm with modern comfort, all within an idyllic 3.65-acre setting. With a handsome thatched roof, characterful interiors, a stylish two-bedroom annexe and exceptional equestrian facilities, this property represents a rare opportunity for those seeking both a refined rural lifestyle and a superbly practical equestrian base.

From the moment you arrive, the approach to Conyards Farmhouse sets the tone. The sweeping driveway opens to reveal the elegant farmhouse, surrounded by mature gardens, a tranquil pond and thoughtfully placed outbuildings. The setting is deeply private, framed by uninterrupted countryside views, yet warm and inviting with its landscaped gardens, established trees and generous outdoor entertaining areas.

Inside, the farmhouse blends heritage character with modern living spaces designed for both family life and entertaining. The entrance hall, with its terracotta tiled floor and exposed beams, immediately conveys a sense of history. The principal sitting room is a showpiece, with striking timber framing, a large inglenook fireplace and a log-burning stove, an inviting space to gather on winter evenings. The study provides flexibility for home working or a snug retreat, while the garden room, filled with natural light, offers panoramic views across the grounds, a perfect setting for relaxed dining or morning coffee.

At the heart of the home is the farmhouse kitchen. Centred around an AGA, the space combines bespoke cabinetry and granite worktops to create a stylish yet practical hub. Adjoining is a utility room and cloakroom, ensuring the home functions effortlessly for ‘countryside’ family life.

Upstairs, four double bedrooms continue the characterful feel. The master bedroom features bespoke storage and an en-suite shower room. Three further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, combining period charm with modern fittings, including both bath and separate shower.

Beyond the main house lies a beautiful two-bedroom annexe, a rare and valuable asset. This annexe features a contemporary finish and offers generous accommodation, including a spacious kitchen and dining room, a sitting room, and two double bedrooms—one of which has an en-suite bathroom. The principal first-floor bedroom includes an en-suite toilet and opens onto a balcony that provides stunning views over the equestrian facilities and the surrounding landscape. The second ground-floor bedroom also has its own en-suite shower room. With its own garden, terrace, and rooftop balcony, this annexe offers tremendous versatility, making it ideal for extended family, guests, or as a potential income-producing rental.

The gardens surrounding both the farmhouse and annexe are designed for enjoyment throughout the seasons. A variety of lawns, trees and landscaped areas create a sense of harmony with the surrounding countryside. The ornamental pond, complete with seating areas, is a tranquil feature, while the kitchen garden and greenhouse allow for a productive lifestyle.

For equestrian buyers, the facilities here are outstanding. Two well-fenced paddocks provide excellent turnout, complemented by a 30m x 50m all-weather ménage, ideal for year-round schooling and training. Three stables, a tack room and a turning-out pen ensure every need is catered for, while secure storage and hardstanding add practical convenience. With direct access to surrounding byways and bridlepaths, Conyards Farmhouse offers an enviable base for both competitive and leisure riders.

The setting is as special as the property itself. Nestled in peaceful countryside, the home enjoys complete privacy and seclusion while remaining within easy reach of nearby market towns and transport connections. The village of Wimbish offers a welcoming rural community, and the historic town of Saffron Walden is just a short drive away, with its thriving independent shops, excellent schools and fast connections to London and Cambridge via Audley End station.

Conyards Farmhouse is more than just a home; it is a lifestyle. Whether enjoying summer evenings by the pond, hosting family in the beautifully appointed annexe, or riding out across the open countryside from your own menage, this is a property that delivers on every level. For those seeking a home of rare character, coupled with equestrian facilities of the highest quality, Conyards Farmhouse offers an opportunity seldom found on the market.
