Overview
7 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Church Lane, Margaretting, Ingatestone
Set within a picturesque 2.6 acre plot, this magnificent Georgian home is rich in history - dating back to 1832 - and holds significant local interest.
Set adjacent to the charming 15th Century Church of St. Margaret, the home is approached via a short sweeping driveway, immediately impressing with its timeless architecture and period elegance. A second gated driveway at the rear offers additional access and convenience.
Beyond the striking façade, the grand entrance hall leads to a series of well-proportioned reception rooms, each showcasing a wealth of original Georgian features, from graceful sash windows and intricate mouldings to ornate architraves, sash windows and floorboards.
The ground floor offers an abundance of living space, comprising five beautifully proportioned reception rooms, a large utility room, and a conservatory, ideal for enjoying the surrounding gardens.
On the first floor, there are three/four generously sized double bedrooms, two of which are complemented by en-suites, and a family bathroom. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a vaulted ceiling with exposed brick and timbers, adding warmth and character.
The second floor features three further double bedrooms, each benefiting from eaves storage, ideal for family living or guest accommodation.
Externally, the estate offers exceptional versatility. A large coach house presents an exciting opportunity for conversion into an annexe or home office, subject to planning permission, and a large outbuilding, currently used for storage.
