The Accommodation
The ground floor of Farthing Green is a masterclass in period charm, seamlessly blending grand entertaining spaces with practical, everyday living. Upon entering through the inviting entrance hall, you are greeted by an array of reception rooms that showcase the property’s rich architectural heritage, including heavy exposed timber beams, original brickwork, and impressive inglenook fireplaces that serve as the heart of both the sitting and additional reception room. The formal dining room exudes historic character with its dark wood flooring and leaded windows, providing an atmospheric setting for hosting. The dual-aspect sitting room offers a bright yet cozy retreat, while a dedicated study provides a quiet space, perfect for a home office.
The farmhouse-style kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring a classic Rayburn set within a tiled recess, bespoke cabinetry, and warm quarry-tiled flooring. In addition, there is a utility room with rear access and a discreet cloakroom. Adding to the home's impressive versatility, a staircase leads down to a substantial cellar, providing excellent additional storage or potential for a variety of uses.
The first floor of Farthing Green is a testament to the home's historic integrity, offering a collection of beautifully proportioned bedrooms that are rich in period detail. The principal suite is a particular highlight, featuring impressive ceiling heights, original wide-plank timber flooring, and a striking brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a truly serene retreat. This room is complemented by a sophisticated en suite shower room, finished with elegant tongue-and-groove panelling and marble-topped vanities. Throughout the upper level, the interplay of heavy exposed oak studwork and soft, lime-washed walls creates a sense of warmth and timelessness, with each room enjoying delightful, elevated views over the surrounding gardens and rolling Essex countryside. The remaining accommodation is equally charming with its own unique character and vibrant palette. These rooms are served by a spacious family bathroom with high-quality fixtures that respect the property's heritage.
A further staircase leads to the second floor, where a fifth bedroom and additional loft space offer excellent flexibility for guests or a growing family. The landing areas, characterized by their sloping eaves and leaded light windows, serve as an atmospheric gallery connecting these wonderfully inviting living quarters.
Outside
Farthing Green is set within an exceptional plot extending to approximately 0.55 acre, offering a quintessential English country garden feel. The grounds are beautifully established, featuring expansive manicured lawns interspersed with a variety of mature specimen trees, vibrant perennial borders, and structured hedging that ensures a high degree of privacy. Several paved terrace areas provide the perfect vantage point for outdoor entertaining or quiet reflection, capturing the sun throughout the day and offering a seamless transition from the house to the outdoor spaces.
The external amenities are as impressive as the grounds themselves, headlined by a substantial pool house which provides a fantastic leisure space regardless of the season. Additionally, the property benefits from a versatile range of outbuildings, including a garage, a double car port, and significant storage space, all accessed via a sweeping gravel driveway that provides ample parking for multiple vehicles.
This generous outdoor environment perfectly complements the home's historic character, offering a rare sense of space and tranquility in the heart of this sought-after village.
