5 bedroom detached house for sale

SUMMARY
An impressive Grade II listed five double bedroom former farmhouse, with accommodation extending to over 3,800 sq ft, occupying an enviable plot of just over 5 acres with additional outbuildings in a desirable rural setting, and offering a perfect blend of period character and contemporary flare.

DESCRIPTION
Ilgars Manor sits proudly on a 5 acre plot within rural surroundings, between South Woodham Ferrers and East Hanningfield, and a stones throw from RHS Garden Hyde Hall. South Woodham provides convenient rail links to London Liverpool Street as well as a wealth of shops and amenities, and the property offers additional business premises which could easily be returned to their former equestrian use.

This impressive property, originating as a 17th century farmhouse and later receiving both mid 19th century and 21st century additions, offers a compelling blend of character and charm, offset with contemporary spaces, making it the ideal home for both entertaining large groups of guests or simply enjoying cosy time with the family.

The property is arranged over two split level floors, with five double bedrooms served by a family bathroom and three en-suites in the upper portion of the house, and three period reception rooms with a central contemporary kitchen complemented by the recent addition of a spacious and airy garden room extension with vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors opening to the terrace.

The former stables have been converted to office and workroom space with additional storage facilities and a yard offering parking for numerous vehicles, making it ideal for running a business or converting to annex accommodation (subject to planning). Alternatively one could return them to stables.

To the rear of the property and benefiting from separate gated access from Willow Grove is a yard laid to hardstanding with a former stable block, originally comprising 7 stables and tack room, this building has now been converted to office and workroom space, with adjoining storerooms and lobby with men’s and women’s toilets. The building has Cat II lighting, air conditioning and data connected.
