Description

A Fully Established Country Lifestyle with Equestrian Facilities, Swimming Pool & Set in 8 Acres

Set within approximately 8.19 acres of beautiful gardens, paddocks and grounds, Leggatts Farm offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Grade II listed farmhouse with outstanding lifestyle credentials. Combining character, privacy and space with established equestrian facilities, a heated swimming pool and excellent connectivity, this is a home that is ready to be enjoyed immediately.

Approached via a long private driveway and impressive double gates, the property delivers the sense of arrival and seclusion that buyers seek, while remaining conveniently close to Saffron Walden, London, Cambridge and highly regarded schools.

The Heart of the Home

Extending to over 3,282 sqft, the farmhouse provides generous and versatile accommodation designed for modern family living.

At the centre of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen and dining room, creating a welcoming space for everyday life, entertaining and family gatherings.
The elegant sitting room, complete with a log-burning fireplace, offers a cosy retreat during the winter months, while a further reception room provides flexibility as a formal dining room, family room, playroom or home office.

A substantial boot room and separate laundry room, add practicality and convenience for busy households and country living.

Five Bedrooms, Space for Family & Guests

The first floor offers five well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite with garden views, fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath. A further en-suite guest bedroom and three additional bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for growing families, visiting guests or multi-generational living.

Established Equestrian Facilities

Leggatts Farm is ideally suited to buyers seeking an equestrian lifestyle, with facilities already in place and ready to use.

Features include:
• Three stables with rubber matting
• Dedicated tack room with storage
• Covered hay and bedding store
• Outdoor ménage with rubber surface
• Direct access to paddocks for convenient turnout
• Approximately 5 acres of grazing land
• Scope for further enhancement, subject to individual requirements

Gardens, Pool & Outdoor Living

The beautifully established grounds create an exceptional setting for both relaxation and entertaining.
Features include:
• Heated outdoor swimming pool
• Summer house
• Expansive lawns and outdoor entertaining areas
• Former tennis court with potential for restoration or alternative use, hard standing field, football pitch or surface for additional stables/outuildings.

Whether hosting family gatherings, enjoying summer evenings by the pool or simply taking in the surrounding countryside, the outdoor space offers a lifestyle that is difficult to replicate.

Rural Setting, Excellent Connectivity

Despite its peaceful and private position, Leggatts Farm enjoys excellent access to local amenities and transport links.

• Approximately 5 miles from Saffron Walden
• Fast rail services from Audley End, Elsenham and Newport stations
• Convenient access to the M11 motorway
• Easy reach of Stansted Airport
• Well positioned for London and Cambridge commuters

The area is particularly popular with families due to its excellent selection of state and independent schools, including Felsted, the Cambridge schools and Chelmsford's renowned grammar schools.

Why Leggatts Farm Stands Apart

Few properties combine the character of a Grade II listed farmhouse, set in 8.19 acres, established equestrian facilities, a heated swimming pool and such convenient access to London and Cambridge. Whether your priority is horses, family life, entertaining or simply enjoying the space and freedom of a countryside setting. Leggatts Farm offers a unique opportunity to secure a home that delivers both lifestyle and practicality in equal measure.

Arrange Your Viewing

Properties offering this combination of land, lifestyle and location are increasingly difficult to find. With no onward chain and facilities ready to enjoy from day one, early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate everything Leggatts Farm has to offer.
