8 Bedroom Farm House

As we drive through the gates up the treeline driveway, surrounded by lush land, we begin our journey to Old Rectory Farm. This wonderful, Grade II listed home, seamlessly combines timeless elegance with all the luxuries of modern-day contemporary living creating your own private oasis.

The extensive grounds feature a main residence, pool house, and a two bedroom barn conversion, together with two semi detached bungalows, ideal for multigenerational living or guest accommodation.

As we enter the main house which consists of eight beautifully proportioned bedrooms, and four elegant bathrooms, we are immediately charmed with its abundance of character. It is quite simply breath-taking with incredible attention to detail thought through in every room of the home.

The light filled, wonderfully designed, country kitchen with a breakfast room is a cook’s dream, with an array of beautifully finished cabinetry and counter tops, an apron style sink, ample storage, a large double oven and direct access to the spectacular grounds.

Welcoming your guests will be a joy, with the choice of exquisitely decorated reception rooms to choose from. Whether it be the lounge, formal dining room, sitting or drawing room, each one benefiting from built in shelving, working fireplaces and hard wood flooring. They offer up a variety of uses should you wish to turn them into a home office, playroom or a gym room.

Enjoy your afternoon tea from the breath-taking, light filled garden room featuring a skylight and French doors allowing for indoor/outdoor enjoyment on warm summer days.

Additionally, there is a children’s playroom, cloak room, and a WC. Below this floor there is a large cellar room.

Upstairs to the first floor and four spacious bedrooms await us. Two of the elegantly finished bedrooms are en suite featuring free standing tubs, with one of them being accessed via the hallway. The second bedroom features an impressive walk-in wardrobe. The other two bedrooms are beautifully proportioned and complemented by a sumptuous family bathroom with a walk-in shower. An expansive dressing room, laundry room and an additional WC completes this floor.

The third floor was believed to be the original servants’ quarters and consists of four well sized bedrooms, one is currently being used as a lounge. A family bathroom with a free-standing bath completes this floor.

Located on the estate is a spacious and beautifully presented two bedroom barn conversion, featuring a large terrace with sweeping views across the property, the perfect space for multigenerational living or guest accommodation. Additionally, the estate includes two semi detached bungalows, each offering open plan living, dining, and kitchen areas, two double bedrooms, and contemporary family bathrooms. Both benefit from private garden space and a terrace to the front.

On the grounds, we find a fabulous pool house complete with a huge swimming pool, treatment room, pool bar, bathroom and steam room.

After your day of swimming and relaxing, why not throw open the four sets of bifold doors onto the expansive patio and BBQ with your guests into the evening.

Additionally, there is an outbuilding containing a workshop with plenty of storage. The property also benefits with ample parking for multiple cars.

As we walk around the spectacular gardens, we are treated to peaceful, serenity and tranquillity at every turn with this village-like property. From the private millennium woodland with approximately 2,000 beautiful trees, an adorable treehouse, a delightful duck pond, nestled in maturing trees, or a chicken coup, it is truly delightful.

Located within the picturesque, semi rural village of Stapleford Abbotts there is ample rolling countryside in the surrounding areas. The neighbouring towns and villages, such as Brentwood, Abridge, Ongar and Epping, offer a variety of schools, amenities, shops and transport links, while the M25, A12 and M11 are a drive away.
