Situated on a plot in excess of 2.5 acres (STS), this substantial country home offers both outstanding accommodation and rural tranquillity. Built circa 1800, this property combines historic charm with 21st century living. The property also benefits from ample off-road parking and extensive field views.

Set amidst the idyllic rural landscape of Great Bromley, this enchanting property seamlessly marries its 19th-century origins with thoughtful modern enhancements. Upon entering, the sense of character is immediate, with the ground floor offering a variety of charming and versatile spaces.
The sitting room invites relaxation, bathed in natural light that highlights its spacious yet cozy feel. Adjacent lies the dining room, where original features echo the property’s rich history, creating a space perfect for intimate gatherings or larger entertaining occasions. The music room offers a tranquil retreat, enhanced by its serene ambiance and a view of the surrounding countryside.
The heart of the home is the vaulted kitchen, a spectacular space that balances rustic charm with contemporary practicality. The exposed beams overhead lend a striking architectural feature, while the layout ensures functionality and flow. This space opens into a welcoming breakfast area, where mornings are illuminated by the soft light filtering through large windows that frame the verdant surroundings.
A more recent addition to the home is the garden room, a bright and airy room featuring vaulted ceilings and expansive glazing, offering uninterrupted views of the lush gardens and the pastoral scenery beyond. Its connection to the outdoor space provides a harmonious transition between indoor and outdoor living, making it a versatile area for both relaxation and entertaining.
A utility area in the inner hallway ensures all laundry paraphernalia is kept out of the way of the general household.
The first floor of this charming property is both spacious and thoughtfully arranged, offering five well-proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms, providing comfort and versatility for family living and guests. The principal bedroom is a serene retreat, boasting its own ensuite shower room, a private space enhanced by natural light and delightful views of the surrounding countryside. This ensuite, designed with convenience and style in mind, complements the principal bedroom's tranquil ambiance.
Four additional bedrooms provide further accommodation, each with its own character and carefully positioned to maximize light and views. These rooms are ideal for a growing family, hosting visitors, or even as flexible spaces for work or hobbies. Each room blends seamlessly with the home’s character, maintaining the sense of charm and warmth present throughout.
The bathrooms are both stylish and functional. A family bathroom features a striking freestanding bath beneath a skylight, creating a relaxing haven in which to unwind. An additional bathroom with a walk-in shower provides practicality and ease, catering to the needs of a busy household while retaining an elegant simplicity.
The property is beautifully set within its expansive 2.5 acres (STS) and fully embraces the rural surroundings of North Essex. Approached via a private drive, the house is framed by open countryside, providing a sense of seclusion while maintaining a connection to the natural beauty of the area. The mature gardens extend around the house, offering an abundance of lawned areas interspersed with trees, shrubs, and hedges that add depth and privacy to the setting. At the end of garden, a wonderful area of woodland creates an enchanting retreat, whilst a natural well provides an additional source of water - perfect perhaps for keeping the garden lush during the dry summer months.
To the rear, the property opens onto a sheltered patio area, perfect for outdoor entertaining or quiet relaxation while enjoying uninterrupted views of the rolling fields.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on November 7, 2024

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
