A beautifully extended period farmhouse, seamlessly blending original character with striking contemporary living, extending to approximately 3,200 sq ft and set within the sought-after village of Stondon Massey.
Steeped in history, the land was originally bestowed upon Sir Walter Mildmay by Queen Elizabeth I, later passing to Emmanuel College, Cambridge, before evolving through private ownership over the centuries. Rebuilt in 1860, the original farmhouse forms the front portion of the home, with a substantial and thoughtfully designed rear extension creating a superb balance of period charm and modern family living.
The front of the property retains its traditional character, offering a series of well-proportioned reception areas including a formal living room, lounge and dining room, ideal for more traditional or flexible family use.
To the rear, the home opens into an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, designed very much for modern living. Featuring a bespoke fitted kitchen with central island, this space is flooded with natural light and enhanced by a striking galleried landing and feature staircase, with doors opening directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.
The accommodation is both generous and versatile, perfectly suited to family life, with five well-proportioned bedrooms arranged across the first floor.
The principal suite is a standout feature, occupying part of the vaulted rear section, with exposed beams, a dressing area, en-suite bathroom and direct access onto a balcony overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside.
Externally, the property enjoys a private and established plot, with a well-maintained garden, patio seating areas and pergola, ideal for outdoor entertaining. A detached outbuilding provides excellent additional space, incorporating a garage, office, storage and WC, ideal for home working or a variety of alternative uses.
Other notable benefits include solar panels generating annual revenue, potential to convert current outbuilding to residential accomodation, as well as further room for development for an additional residential plot (Subject to Planning Permissions).
Offered to the market for the first time in over 60 years, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home combining history, character and modern lifestyle in one of Essex’s most desirable village settings.
