Essex converted barn with tennis court on the market

The property in Badliss Hall Lane, Ardleigh, near Colchester, comes with five bedrooms and four bathrooms, spanning across two floors. 

It is grade II listed and has benefitted from a programme of gentle refurbishment since 2020, which has transformed it into a country retreat with top amenities. 

Combining elegance and historical charm, the property welcomes guests and residents alike with its double height entrance hall.

The home is flooded with natural light throughout thanks to a large number of generous windows. 

Further on the ground floor are two reception rooms and a study, as well as a generous entertaining room, with a bespoke bar area, perfect for hosting gatherings with friends and family. 

The kitchen lends tradition and modern functionality with its spacious open-plan layout, making it the heart of the home, integrating the cooking, dining and entertainment areas. 

The adjoining utility room adds to the functionality of the home, with access to the outdoors. 

Five bedrooms offer plenty of space for a large or growing family, and are completed by four bathrooms.

Three of the bedrooms are located on the first floor, with two of them being equipped with an adjoining ensuite bathroom, while the other two bedrooms are located on the ground floor near the entrance hall. 

The historic elements, such as the wooden beams, have been carefully preserved throughout the property and the renovations have successfully blended traditional craftsmanship with the contemporary updates. 

Also on the property is a grade II listed converted barn, which provides a versatile space which can be used as a games room or an annex. 

Again, the historic elements have been preserved carefully, paying homage to its historic rooms.  

An additional annex offers the perfect space for guests with its own sitting room kitchen, utility room and ensuite bedroom in a self-contained unit. 

The home is located on 4.1 acres of land, predominantly lawn with beautifully interspersed mature trees and shrubs.
