Description

An exceptional Grade II listed residence offering over 7,000 sq ft of elegant living space, set in the picturesque hamlet of Lambourne End in the beautiful Essex countryside.

Set within approximately 2.2 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, plus an additional two large paddocks, this distinguished period farmhouse blends timeless character with modern luxury. Believed to date back to the late 16th century, the property showcases a wealth of original features, including exposed beams, feature fireplaces, and charming architectural details throughout.

The main house boasts a versatile and spacious layout, with multiple reception rooms perfect for both formal entertaining and everyday family living. These include a generous sitting room, an elegant dining room, a study, a second reception room, and a well appointed kitchen. A utility room and downstairs WC complete the ground floor amenities, along with a convenient ground floor bedroom and a stylish family bathroom.

A particular highlight is the adjoining annexe, accessible via the main house or through its own private entrance. This self contained space offers excellent flexibility and privacy, featuring an open plan sitting and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and two double bedrooms, both benefitting from their own en suite bathrooms.

Upstairs in the main house, the impressive primary bedroom includes a luxurious en suite, while three further well proportioned bedrooms are served by an additional family bathroom.

Additional land, highlighted in blue and green, are both available through separate negotiation for interested buyers.

Outside, the grounds are equally impressive. The expansive rear garden is beautifully designed, offering a heated swimming pool, patio and lawn areas, mature shrubs, fruit trees, and even a private tennis court. Two sizeable outbuildings and three stables, with potential for restoration or conversion, further enhance the lifestyle offering.

A landscaped front garden with a lined pathway leads to the front of the house, while a gated driveway provides ample off road parking, ensuring convenience for residents and guests alike.

An additional highlight is the property’s previously approved planning permissions, including EPF/2058/13, a ‘Grade II listed building application for a linked extension between the house and outbuilding’, offering exciting potential for possible future enhancement (STP).

Set in a picturesque and peaceful location, this outstanding seven bedroom home offers the rare opportunity to own a substantial, character filled property with exceptional space and versatility, both inside and out.

Ideally positioned for outdoor enthusiasts, the property is surrounded by the open green spaces of Hainault Forest, offering a perfect backdrop for walking, cycling, and riding. Excellent transport links are within easy reach, with Grange Hill, Hainault, and Chigwell Underground stations providing swift access to Central London via the Central Line. The nearby villages and towns offer a range of local amenities, including boutique shops, renowned restaurants, cafes, and well regarded schools, combining countryside tranquillity with convenient urban connections.
