4 bed detached house

The property is a beautifully restored, early-13th-century Hall House that combines over 800 years of history with versatile modern living. The house features a freestanding crown post in the principal bedroom, believed to be the oldest surviving example in a private house in Essex, dating from the 13th century. The original Hall House construction remains astonishingly intact, with many of the vast oak beams reclaimed from Essex trading barges and still displaying original peg holes and timber joints. The large inglenook fireplace is built with ancient tiles and bricks, some believed to be Roman. The house has 4 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, and a well-appointed kitchen. It also features a solid oak staircase, original oak flooring, and a wrap-around extension. The property has extensive grounds, incorporating ancient medieval strips (or sellons) redesigned as an easy-to-maintain, multi-use open space.
