Set within 3.6 acres of mature grounds, this enchanting country home features superb outbuildings to include an Essex barn for renovation, and annexe/workshop. Rich in character and beautifully positioned towards the rear of the plot, Woodlands Farmhouse provides exceptional scope for multi-generational living, hobby use, business purposes, and sympathetic development (subject to planning).
Approached via a long private driveway, the property sits elegantly amongst established trees and sweeping lawns, creating a wonderfully secluded and peaceful environment.
The main residence boasts many original features, with exposed beams, traditional joinery, and generous room proportions.
An entrance hall with parquet flooring leads to a selection of spacious reception rooms. The living room is bright and inviting, with French doors opening to the patio and gardens beyond - perfect for enjoying the idyllic setting. The dining room features an open fireplace, creating a wonderful ambiance for entertaining and family gatherings. A separate office, kitchen, and utility room provide excellent practical space.
To the first floor are four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with dressing area and en-suite bathroom. A further family bathroom serves the additional bedrooms, and a separate study off the second bedroom provides a quiet, tucked-away space with garden views.

- A large barn suitable for storage, workshop, conversion, or creative use (subject to permissions)
- Two spacious workshops ideal for machinery, or crafts
- An impressive games room
- Additional stores
- A loft room with potential for further development
The estate spans approximately 3.6 acres, comprising open lawns, mature woodland pockets and open clearings that frame the house beautifully. The grounds offer a sense of tranquillity rarely found so close to Ingatestone & Shenfield.
A previously enjoyed tennis court sits within the grounds, now requiring refurbishment but offering an exciting project for those wishing to reinstate this private sports facility.
