Hay Green Lane,Blackmore,Ingatestone,CM4 0QE

Hay Green Farm is a handsome Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse, positioned discreetly within its plot on the edge of the well-regarded village of Blackmore. The house presents with a balanced classical façade and retains a number of original features, including sash windows, fireplaces and well-proportioned ceiling heights.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers a practical layout for both everyday living and entertaining. The entrance hall leads through to a formal dining room with parquet flooring and an open fireplace, alongside a principal reception room with dual aspects, a woodburning stove and views across the gardens. Two further reception rooms, each with fireplaces, provide flexibility for more informal living or study space. To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is designed as the central hub of the house, with vaulted ceilings and direct connection through to an orangery, allowing for a natural flow between inside and out. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is particularly well positioned, enjoying a dual aspect outlook across the grounds, with a dressing area and en suite. Three further bedrooms, all with built-in storage, are served by a family bathroom.

The house is approached through electric cast iron gates, opening onto a wide gravelled forecourt providing ample parking and access to the outbuildings. These are a defining feature of the property, extending to almost 6,000 sq ft in total and arranged across four principal barns. One is currently arranged with bathroom facilities and its own garden, offering clear potential as ancillary accommodation, subject to the usual consents. Another is used as an office with kitchen and bathroom facilities, while an L-shaped barn has previously served as a games room and gym within a courtyard setting. The fourth is an undeveloped Essex barn with exposed timbers, offering further scope for conversion.

The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 2.2 acres and are laid mainly to lawn, framed by mature trees and established planting. A terrace runs along the rear of the house, well suited to outdoor dining and entertaining. A natural pond with bridge and fountain sits within the grounds, attracting a variety of wildlife, and beyond the boundaries the surrounding farmland reinforces the sense of privacy. The grounds are enclosed and include an irrigation system.

Blackmore offers a village setting with a strong sense of community, including a local public house, primary school and village amenities. More extensive facilities can be found in Ingatestone, approximately four miles away, with a mainline station providing regular services to London. Shenfield offers additional connections including the Elizabeth Line, while Chelmsford provides a wider range of shopping, schooling and leisure.
