Great Bardfield — Great Bardfield

An extensively improved and thoughtfully extended detached single-storey home offering three/four bedrooms, with significant development potential via two former Nissen huts, all set within approximately 10.5 acres of idyllic, unspoilt countryside. Mandalay Farm presents a rare and exciting opportunity nestled within one of North Essex’s most tranquil and sought-after country lanes, just outside the popular village of Great Bardfield. The property is set amidst grounds of approximately 10.5 acres, enjoying uninterrupted panoramic views across open farmland. Peacefully positioned behind electric gates, the house offers complete privacy, together with an exceptional sense of space. The principal property is of traditional brick construction with rendered elevations and dates back to the 1950s. The accommodation provides a versatile layout totalling approximately 1,700 sq ft and is superbly presented, finished to a high specification throughout. The heart of the house is the impressive kitchen/dining room, a light-filled and sociable space featuring full-width bi-folding doors to the garden, a striking roof lantern, and a bespoke Corian kitchen with quality integrated appliances. Underfloor heating runs through much of the property. A separate utility room provides additional storage and practical workspace, while the main reception room offers a log burner, and views over the rear garden and grounds. There are three spacious double bedrooms, all enjoying excellent natural light, with two benefiting from built-in storage. A contemporary family bathroom and a separate cloakroom complete accommodation. Although the earlier planning permission to substantially extend the residence (Braintree District Council Ref: 20/02140/HH) has now expired, it highlights the exciting potential for future development, subject to securing fresh approval. To the north of the plot lie two former Nissen huts, presently used for storage, but with approved planning permission for conversion in
