House For Sale £500,000
A stunning farmhouse in need of restoration with breathtaking views of the Belchamp valley.
Description
This remarkable opportunity is a very rare find and available to cash buyers. Griggs Farmhouse is Grade II listed and features five bedrooms, brimming with delightful characteristics. Throughout the house, you'll find exposed timber beams, original floorboards, cosy inglenook fireplaces and charming casement windows. Situated on a plot of about 0.78 of an acre, this comprehensive renovation opportunity offers breathtaking views of the Belchamp valley.
Upon entering the farmhouse, you'll be greeted by a central entrance hall that serves as a welcoming space, with other rooms branching off from it and a staircase leading to the first floor. Towards the front, there is a beautifully bright drawing room with dual aspects, along with a dining room that showcases an inglenook fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the rear garden and is accompanied by a sitting room, garden room and a convenient downstairs bathroom. Furthermore, on the ground floor there is ample potential to expand into a spacious outbuilding, once a bakery, which could be transformed into a large kitchen/dining area seamlessly connected to the rear garden (subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions).
Moving to the first floor, you'll discover four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom. There is also a staircase leading to the second floor, where three generously-sized rooms await. These rooms can be easily adapted to create a self-contained granny flat or a studio space for individuals working from home.
Outside
At the front, there is a spacious driveway that offers plenty of parking space away from the main road. It is enclosed by a wall and there is a pathway on the side leading to the back of the property. The remaining part of the garden is a blank slate, allowing potential buyers to customise it according to their preferences. It consists mostly of lawn, and at the back there is a hedge serving as a boundary, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. These scenic views can also be enjoyed from the rooms located at the rear of the house.
All in around 0.78 of an acre.
