Description
A Charming Single Storey Victorian Gate House set in 0.32 of an Acre with rural surrounds.
What We say at The Zoe Napier Group
Whilst this property does need some upgrading and refurbishment it offers tidy accommodation for immediate occupation with modern radiator heating. The Lodge offers much potential for the incoming buyer and not being listed offers more readily potential for its permitted development and extension possibilities, subject to local authority approval.
What The Owners Say
We are the former owners of Greenstead Hall where the Lodge stands proudly at the foot of the long grand entrance drive to the Hall. The Lodge, formerly rented, is in a good presentable condition. The property has not had much further done to it, hence its EPC rating of F so will need updating and therefore could offer great scope for the incoming buyer or developer. It is within walking distance of town.
History & Background
This attractive Victorian single storey Lodge, dates to 1847 as depicted on the gable end to its front elevation. The property proudly stands in an elevated position at the foot of the long avenue drive to the well screened Greenstead Hall beyond where there is also a public footpath from the main entry gates for delightful country walks across the fields.
The Lodge offers comfortable accommodation with two double bedrooms, accompanied by a bathroom, two reception room areas and a kitchen with access into a lean-to utility area. Outside the wedge-shaped plot is undulating and mature with a gated driveway for two or more vehicles leading to a 1 ½ length single width garage providing good storage and/or workshop facilities.
The Lodge formerly accompanied the main hall house, a magnificent country estate which is today used for mixed commercial enterprises including that of a function venue and a high end Air ‘B N B’, amongst film work.
Setting & Location
The Lodge is situated in a country lane setting yet close to Halstead’s Market Town, approximately 1.5 miles to the top of Market Hill or a more leisurely stroll of around 1.4 miles can be taken via the footpaths to the back of Halstead. Greenstead Green is a rural farming village lying to the south of Halstead, largely surrounded by farmland with country lane access through to Stisted (passing a nature reserve) and on to Stisted Golf Club. Earls Colne Village is approximately 3 miles where there is the Colne Valley Golf Club and a sports/tennis club and around one mile beyond is The Essex Golf & Country Club with Gym and leisure membership, alongside Anglian Flight Centre for light aircraft training.
The nearest stations are at Kelvedon (8 miles and A12 access), Marks Tey (8.9 miles) or Colchester 12.5 miles. The market town of Halstead lies along the undulating Colne Valley on the Essex/Suffolk border, a highly sought after location for those moving a little further out from the London suburbs yet still within daily commute, if required. Halstead provides good facilities including local supermarkets and for the larger supermarkets, these can be found on the A120 ring road for Braintree of in the market town of Sudbury (9.5 miles)
Accommodation
An attractive enclose vestibule porch provides immediate access into the sitting room with secondary glazed windows and attractive views straight out across mature grass fields belonging to Greenstead Hall. There is also a fireplace, and the property has classical high ceiling throughout. From the sitting room access leads to a central ‘through access’ dining room/snug. Access leads to a smaller double bedroom with an original fireplace surround, separately to the kitchen where there is access to the lean-to boot/coat store/utility area and an internal hall leads to the main bedroom and a bathroom with shower facilities over the bath.
Outside
The established undulating plot extends to 0.32 of an acre in the form of a wedge shape offering extensive screened road frontage and some mature trees. A gate provides vehicle access to the driveway and long single width garage for good storage and a workshop area. The property is elevated where steps lead from the driveway up to the house and lawns lie to the side and rear. The Oil-fired boiler is in an outdoor store. This is untested.
Agents Notes
- Whilst the property is well presented inside, there is evidence that some of the slate roof might require repair, including where tiles have slipped. Other points noted when setting the guide price gave due anticipation that some internal damp was evident likely via the chimney stack. The detached garage building may also require repair/replacement and the private septic tank drainage may not comply with more recent legislation.
- The property has an EPC rating of F and cannot be used for rental purposes without appropriate upgrading.
- Our client has completed a Propertymark questionnaire to help provide useful information for buyers to make a more informed offer to purchase.
- The access to the entrance drive and pedestrian gate is a legal access off the public highway.
- Halstead Town has a Town Plan 2033 for future development. A proposed bypass corridor lies around the perimeters of Halstead and if constructed according to plan would lie around a 1/3rd of a mile to the North of Greenstead Hall Lodge.
- The neighbouring Greenstead Hall is a function venue amongst other permissible commercial/agricultural/equestrian uses. The main entrance for patrons to the venue is via the new entrance further up Halstead Road.
