Description
Property description
** Full planning permission granted for the conversion of the barn into two residential dwellings, as well as the transformation of the stable block into a separate detached home. **
Tucked away along a peaceful country lane in the heart of Essex, this substantial barn conversion offers over 4,000 sq ft of accommodation and an exciting opportunity to create something truly special. Set within mature, private grounds, the property combines period charm with huge development potential, having already secured full planning permission for the conversion of the existing barn into two separate dwellings, as well as the transformation of the detached stable block into a standalone home.
The main barn is steeped in character, with original timber beams, vaulted ceilings, and generous room proportions throughout. A recently installed thatched roof adds to the authenticity and long-term appeal of the building, blending beautifully with its heritage features. Inside, the layout currently offers a range of reception rooms, five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a spectacular double-height living space with an impressive brick fireplace and full-height windows overlooking the gardens. While some areas of the property would benefit from modernisation, the structure and space provide an ideal canvas for renovation, with the flexibility to redesign, divide, or enhance according to your needs.
The stable block, located within the grounds, offers further potential and charm, with its own dedicated access and the approved consent to be converted into a separate dwelling. The property is accessed via a sweeping gravel driveway, offering plenty of parking and framed by hedging for privacy. The expansive lawn and mature planting create a peaceful, countryside setting that feels wonderfully tucked away, yet still well-connected to nearby towns and transport links.
A rare opportunity to reimagine a characterful barn setting with approved plans already in place. Whether you're looking for a spacious family home with room to grow, a multi-unit development project, or an income-generating property with holiday let potential, this unique offering in Monk Street is well worth exploring.
Council Tax Band G. EPC Exempt.
Agents note:
There's a right of access across the driveway for the farmer. The property is grade II listed.
