Stones Green, Harwich, CO12

Fenn House is a home whose value lies in the amount of space, land and future possibility it places in the buyer’s hands. Set behind a broad, gated frontage in the rural hamlet of Stones Green, this substantial four-bedroom detached house occupies an established south-facing plot of approximately 0.26 acres, with extensive parking, a particularly large integral double garage and gardens that give the property a genuine sense of separation.

The house has been held for many years and now offers an increasingly rare opportunity to modernise a sizeable, individually positioned home around personal priorities. Its layout is practical but also open to reinterpretation, with the generous dining room flowing into the living room to create a broad reception area extending from the front to the rear of the house. A wood-burning stove forms a natural focal point within the living space, while sliding doors continue into the conservatory and towards the garden beyond.

The dining room is especially notable for its proportions. Large enough to accommodate substantial furniture without feeling crowded, it could continue in its present role or become a family room, second sitting room or the starting point for a more ambitious redesign of the ground floor.

Running across the rear, the kitchen provides an extensive range of storage, space for a range-style cooker and plumbing for appliances. It is functional in its existing form, although its scale and relationship with the dining room give future owners an obvious opportunity to explore a more contemporary kitchen and family arrangement. An internal door leads directly into the integral double garage.

Extending for more than 27 feet, the garage is one of the property’s defining assets. Light and power are connected, with a wide vehicle door and separate access at both the front and rear. It provides excellent space for cars, storage or workshop use, while its footprint may also interest buyers considering partial conversion or adaptation, subject to the necessary investigations and consents.

A ground-floor wet room adds practical flexibility and may prove particularly useful for visiting relatives, accessible living or anyone considering the creation of further accommodation on this level.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is notably generous, with broad proportions and exposed floorboards. The second bedroom is another excellent double with fitted wardrobes and a garden outlook, while the third and fourth bedrooms also include fitted storage. A family bathroom completes the first floor.

Outside, the wide shingle driveway provides generous parking and leads directly to the garage. Lawn, mature hedging, established shrubs and a silver birch soften the frontage and help screen the house from the road.

The south-facing rear garden forms a substantial part of the plot. A paved terrace spans the back of the house before opening onto an extensive lawn, surrounded by mature trees, fruit trees, shrubs and more informal planting. A wildlife pond and timber summerhouse add further interest, while the scale of the grounds leaves ample room for landscaping, family recreation, productive gardening or the creation of several distinct outdoor areas.

Fenn House will require investment, but that is precisely where its opportunity lies. Buyers are not being asked to pay a premium for somebody else’s decorative choices; they are acquiring a sizeable detached home, an unusually large garage and a quarter-acre plot in a loose rural settlement, with enough substance to make a thoughtful programme of improvement genuinely worthwhile.

Garden

The south-facing rear garden is one of the home’s most important assets, extending to a generous depth and forming a substantial part of the approximately 0.26-acre plot. A broad paved terrace runs immediately behind the house and conservatory, creating a practical space for outdoor seating and dining before opening onto the main lawn.

Beyond this, the garden becomes more established and informal, with mature trees, fruit trees, dense shrubs and planted borders creating a strong sense of privacy. A wildlife pond sits within the planting, while a timber summerhouse is positioned towards the far end. The grounds' scale and maturity provide an excellent foundation for landscaping, family use, productive gardening or the creation of clearly defined outdoor areas.

Front Garden

Fenn House is set back behind a broad, established frontage that gives the property a greater sense of space and separation than the house first suggests. A gated entrance opens onto a wide shingle driveway, providing generous off-road parking and direct access to the integral double garage.

A paved path leads to the recessed entrance, while the remainder of the frontage is laid mainly to lawn with mature hedging, established shrubs and a prominent silver birch adding screening and softness. There's still a working well here too. The house itself presents a substantial, individual profile, with a mix of brick and rendered elevations beneath a tiled roof.
