This south-facing period farmhouse, set in 5.7 acres, offers a unique opportunity to purchase a rural smallholding with plenty of potential. The property features a well-proportioned and versatile main house, which has been extensively modernized to retain its original period charm, including exposed timbers, brick floors, and fireplaces. The main house offers four double bedrooms, three bathrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, indoor swimming pool, home office, and more. The property also includes a self-contained two-bedroom cottage annexe, a brick-built studio/office, stables, and a storage barn, providing ample space for equestrian activities or smallholding pursuits. The impressive timber-framed Essex barn has approved permitted development to convert into a spacious two-bedroom dwelling. The property benefits from mains water and two septic tanks, and is located in a rural area with plenty of outdoor space and potential for further development.
