Occupying an enviable position in the sought-after village of Great Horkesley, this impressive thatched home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country residence that combines classic period character with the benefits of being non-listed. Surrounded by open fields and set within approximately 2.6 acres of mature grounds (subject to survey), the property enjoys a level of peace, privacy, and rural outlook that is increasingly hard to find.
Extending to over 4,100 sq. ft., the accommodation is generously proportioned and ideal for a growing family. The hallway sets the tone for the home, immediately introducing the sense of space and charm found throughout. At the heart of the ground floor is a quintessential country kitchen featuring a traditional Aga—a warm and welcoming centrepiece for daily life. Several reception rooms offer exceptional versatility, including a grand sitting room with an original fireplace, a dedicated music room, and a large games room. Additional rooms include a dining room with exposed timbers, a cosy snug with stone flooring, and an office with doors opening onto a private patio. A downstairs cloakroom and two utility rooms provide practical support for busy households.
The first floor continues to impress with a well planned layout. The principal suite is a genuine retreat, complete with a spacious double bedroom, separate dressing room, and private en suite. Six further bedrooms are served by well-maintained bathrooms, ensuring comfort and practicality for family and guests alike.
Externally, the grounds are a standout feature. The approximately 2.6 acre plot (subject to survey) offers sweeping views over the Essex countryside, with direct access to the Essex Way. Within the grounds are a gated driveway accessed from Lincoln Lane, a large formal garden with patio areas ideal for outdoor entertaining, and paddocks perfectly suited for equestrian use or other hobbies.
Complementing the main house is a one bedroom holiday let—an attractive option for generating immediate rental income or providing high quality guest accommodation. The current owner enjoys regular business through Airbnb, further enhancing the property’s appeal.
Note to buyers: The current owner is in the process of installing boundary markers to clearly define the area being sold. Some photographs may not reflect the final layout. Please contact us for further details.
