Description

Welcome to Shenfield Hall. A residence of genuine stature, and a fine example of early architecture set within approximately 3.5 acres of private grounds, yet, quite remarkably, positioned within walking distance of Shenfield station.

While there are other substantial homes within reach of the station, we are unaware of another that offers this combination of land, scale, architectural presence and historic character so close to such a well-connected location. It is a rare balance of country seclusion and commuting convenience.

The house itself is beautifully proportioned, arranged over two floors and rich in original features. Exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces, open hearths and traditional joinery speak to its heritage, while the principal reception rooms offer generous ceiling heights and well-balanced windows framing views across the gardens, reinforcing the open aspects and setting throughout.

At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, well suited to modern family life, complemented by formal sitting and dining rooms that lend themselves naturally to entertaining on a more considered scale. The layout flows comfortably, yet each room retains its own character and sense of purpose.

To the first floor are six well-proportioned bedrooms, including a particularly impressive principal suite. In total, there are five bathrooms, three of which are en-suite. The quality of the original construction is evident in the proportions, detailing and overall feel of the accommodation, with a high degree of improvement and maintenance undertaken by the present owners.

Beyond the main house sits a self-contained annexe, offering highly versatile additional accommodation. Whether for multi-generational living, guests or staff, it provides independence without isolation, remaining easily accessible from the principal house.

The approach is appropriately discreet, via a gated driveway leading to extensive parking and a range of outbuildings, including former stables, stores and a substantial workshop, all offering further potential subject to the necessary consents.

The grounds are a defining feature. Extending to around 3.5 acres, they create a rare sense of privacy with sweeping lawns, mature trees and established boundaries combining to form a setting that feels both enduring and protected.

Homes of such presence and acreage, yet within walking distance of Shenfield station are exceptionally uncommon. This is not simply a large house close to the station; it is a manageable country estate, rich in character, with the convenience of London connections on foot. Listed (Grade II).
