St. Cleres Hall Lane, St. Osyth, Clacton-on-Sea, CO16

As part of our Signature collection is St Clere's Farm, a three double bedroom detached barn with the benefit of a double garage and cart lodge with two bedroom annexe occupying delightful gardens of 1.75 acres at the end of a private drive.

The main barn offers extensive spacious accommodation with oil fired central heating, underfloor heating to the ground floor, and double-glazed windows retaining a wealth of the original oak timber framing and weatherboarding adding charm and character. The cart lodge/annexe has had a positive planning pre-application for use as a separate dwelling.

The front door of the barn opens to a grand dining hall with tiled flooring, dual aspect with full height windows and door leading out to the rear terrace. There is a fireplace and range of built in storage whilst two hallways provide further storage space with the larger having the staircase to the first floor and access to a cloakroom with WC and wash basin.

From the central dining hall there is access to the study, a large room with exposed timbers and double storage cupboard with full height windows and French doors overlooking the drive.

The sitting room is a wonderfully calm room with part vaulted ceiling with modern exposed timbers and painted weatherboarding. At one end of the room is a fireplace with wood burner and the dual aspect includes French doors out to the terrace.

The kitchen/living space again has a vaulted ceiling with modern exposed timbers and enjoys a dual aspect over the gardens with a large picture window at one end of the room with French doors out to the terrace. The kitchen itself has wooden work surfaces with cupboards and drawers under, space for appliances and a four oven aga (available by separate negotiation) with adjoining granite work surfaces with cupboard and drawers beneath and wall mounted cupboards. A door leads through to a utility room which has granite work surfaces with cupboards beneath and wall mounted shelving with space and plumbing for a washing machine and other appliances and housing the Thermecon oil fired boiler.

Finally on the ground floor is the principal bedroom with exposed timbers and full height window and French doors out to a private garden area. A door connects through a walk-in wardrobe area with ample hanging and shelving space to an en-suite with panelled bath, wash basin and WC.

Stairs lead from the hallway to a large central landing with vaulted timbered ceiling and oak flooring with a glazed door leading out to an external staircase. Either side are two double bedrooms, both with exposed timbered vaulted ceilings and range of built in storage, with oak flooring. They both have en-suite facilities with a shower, wash basin and WC.

The Cart Lodge
The detached cart lodge has a double garage with two sets of opening doors with power and light connected, open double car port with storage cupboards. An external staircase leads up to the residential element. This originally was granted consent whilst the conversion of the barn took place. A recent (March 2026) pre-application with Tendring District Council has been submitted for use as a separate dwelling from the main barn where it would likely be considered for approval. Above the car port is a kitchen and living space with doors through to a double bedroom. A spiral staircase leads down to a hall with the bathroom and further double bedroom. The accommodation benefits from electric heating.
