Period Farmhouse, Barrow Hall Road, Little Wakering, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, SS3 0QP

Beautiful period farmhouse set on a 7 acre plot with outbuildings, stabling, garaging and annexe. Stunning character features. Huge potential for multi-generational living and business opportunities.

Rural secluded Essex countryside location.

Steeped in history—once serving as a Manor House and Court House — this Farmhouse is a rare blend of Grade II listed Georgian elegance and Tudor character. The estate offers a private, peaceful sanctuary with extensive equestrian facilities and farm buildings ideal for storage, machinery or business potential, subject to planning.

The main farmhouse features a wealth of period details, including exposed beams, historic masonry, and a cool cellar. With three versatile reception rooms plus a formal hall and a cosy study/craft room.

A spacious, farmhouse-style kitchen is supported by a dedicated laundry room and boot room.

There are four generous double bedrooms; the principal suite includes a dressing room and ensuite.

Lapsed planning permission (previously granted) for a two-storey rear extension offers future growth potential.

The Annexe and double garage complex features a vaulted games room, kitchenette, shower room, and mezzanine. Perfect for a home business, gym, or guest cottage.

The outbuildings include secure lock-up barns, an large open-fronted barn (ideal for horse boxes/machinery), and stabling with 8 stalls. An aviary and useful potting sheds are a nice addition within the formal grounds.

The plot including the formal gardens extends to approx. 7 acres and includes a picturesque orchard crying out for those special events which deserve a marquee; and sizable paddocks with a menage plus extensive parking and yard areas.

Although set in the lovely Essex countryside, it is still within an easy commute: Reach London Fenchurch Street in about 55 mins via Thorpe Bay (2.8 miles) or Liverpool Street via Rochford.

For those with their children's education in mind there's Thorpe Hall School, Alleyn Court Preparatory, and renowned local Grammars within easy striking distance.

POTENTIAL: Whether the Barns and outbuildings can be converted or replaced with something more substantial in the future is for the local planners to consider, however, sites like this offer huge potential subject to the necessary approvals of course.
