Cambridge Road, Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex, CM24

This former farmhouse dates from the early 19th century and is predominantly built in timber under a slate roof and is Grade II Listed, considered to be of architectural and historical merit. Situated within easy reach of a mainline station, M11 and excellent local schools, this former farmhouse has accommodation arranged over two floors including three reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, ground floor shower room and a small cellar. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. The property has been in the same ownership for some time and there is now scope for modernisation.

To one side of the house there is an enclosed courtyard with a two bedroom cottage and one bedroom studio with basic fixtures and fittings which have historically been rented out. There is also a barn, garage, garden store and office.

Behind the house there is a tiled swimming pool, two greenhouses, garden shed and an expanse of lawn with mature trees. To the front and side there is a further area of lawn. The house is well-set back from the road and as can be seen from the plan the grounds are ‘L’shaped with a road frontage and a further significant area of ground behind the house. There is potential for residential development and planning advice is being sought. The property is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain.

Stansted Mountfitchet is a thriving and popular village, enjoying a good range of shops, schools and sports clubs. It is exceptionally convenient for commuters, having a mainline railway station with services to London's Liverpool Street, Cambridge and Stansted Airport and access to the M11 motorway. Although within 3 miles of Stansted Airport, Stansted Mountfitchet is little affected by the flight paths of the airport. The market town of Bishop's Stortford lies approximately two miles distant and provides a more comprehensive range of social, recreational and educational facilities.
