Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • 7 bedrooms
  • 4 reception rooms
  • 3 bathrooms
  • 5.75 acres
  • Detached
Built in the late 16th or early 17th century with later additions, The Bury has been an outstanding family home for fifty years. Traditionally built with a timber frame with rendered and plastered elevations under a thatch roof, the property was significantly extended in the 1920s, providing a different architectural style. This charming Grade II listed property has been well-maintained over the years and offers an excellent modernisation opportunity.

The older part of the building is full of character and period charm, featuring open fireplaces and substantial timbers, with the later additions boasting larger rooms and higher ceilings, several with fine views over the gardens and grounds. The flexible ground floor accommodation includes four reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with utility area, office, butlers pantry and two ground floor cloakrooms. Three staircases lead to the first floor, with seven bedrooms, two bathrooms, a shower room and two cloakrooms.

Gardens and Grounds
The property is approached via driveway, crossing a pond, leading to a parking and turning area beside the house. A link leads to a double garage with storage space in the roof, a workshop, a pump room, and a shower room. There is additional parking in the courtyard for about 5 cars.

A particular feature of this home are the grounds to all sides. Mainly laid to lawn and interspersed by mature trees and shrubs, including a large enclosed vegetable garden, fruit cage, and several paddocks, all in about 5.75 acres.


The Bury is situated in the heart of Henham, a well-regarded north-west Essex village, with a number of fine period properties. Local amenities include a village shop/post office, public house, parish church, boutique gym, village hall, tennis club and a highly regarded Primary and Nursery School. The nearby village of Elsenham offers further shopping facilities and a mainline railway station with commuter services to London Liverpool Street (from 56 minutes). The towns of Saffron Walden (8 miles) and Bishop's Stortford (7 miles) offer a more comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities in both the state and private sector. The village is well located for access to the A120 and M11 road networks, linking the M25, London and the North. Stansted International Airport is approximately 5 miles.
