A spacious detached bungalow with extensive stabling & outbuildings, boasting 3.4 acres (stls) and sensational views over the River Crouch
What we think at the Zoe Napier Group
This really is the ultimate, all-encompassing equine dream, offering a comprehensive range of facilities including a manege and an extensive range of outbuildings that are currently used as stabling/ storage facilities but could be utilised in a variety of different ways (stc). The semi-rural location and proximity to Maldon and Burnham-on-Crouch will appeal to maritime enthusiasts and the nearby train station allows an easy commute to London.
What the owner says
I purchased the property 30 years ago and it has been an excellent home to raise my family in, the secluded grounds, pool house and swimming pool have allowed us to enjoy many a Summer entertaining friends and family into the early hours! I no longer keep my horses at home, so it seems futile to keep maintaining the grounds, so I have made the decision to sell and downsize.
History & Background
Situated in an elevated position with breathtaking views over the River Crouch estuary is this spacious detached bungalow, boasting wonderful, secluded grounds of 3.4 acres (stls).
Originally believed to have been constructed in the 1970’s with latter additions in the 1980’s and 1990’s respectively, the accommodation is well proportioned and deceptively spacious. Currently configured with three good size reception rooms and three double bedrooms, the property is versatile and could easily be adapted to be a four bedroom home if required.
The outdoor space on offer is incredibly impressive and is heavily geared towards entertainment and equine pursuits with the pool house, Jacuzzi room and accompanying secluded heated outdoor swimming pool, with the icing on the cake being the extensive range of stabling and outbuildings located to the rear.

In brief:
Ground Floor Accommodation
The main entrance hall resides in the North elevation, however this is rarely used and consequently the current owner has cleverly utilised the space as a work from home office, perfectly understandable, as it enjoys stunning views over the River Crouch Estuary. Centrally situated is the internal hallway, which enjoys beautiful solid light oak flooring and provides access to the kitchen/ breakfast room, a spacious bright, dual aspect room overlooking the swimming pool and grounds, ideal for keeping an eye on the children whilst they enjoy an impromptu swim. Situated in the West elevation is the sitting room, spanning the width of the house it is impressive in size, with splendid open brick fireplace with burnt oak mantel and adjoins the conservatory. The principal bedroom is located to the rear and benefits from it’s own en suite shower room, with the three remaining double bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a dining room) all serviced via the good size family bathroom.
Stabling & Storage Facilities
Residing to the side of the property is an elongated, tarmac driveway which is accessible via electric gates and provides off street parking for multiple vehicles. Towards the rear is a large detached garage, manege and an impressive, extensive range of brick built outbuildings, comprising six stables, tack room, hay barn and ten storage facilities respectively.
Grounds
Situated directly to the rear of the bungalow is the outdoor heated outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by an expansive patio area and complemented by the pool house adjacent, which boasts changing room, cloakroom, boiler room and utility area.
The grounds are a particular feature, wonderfully secluded and screened via a plethora of mature trees and hedging, mainly laid to lawn, incorporating a beautiful carp fishing lake. In all extending to 3.4 acres (stls).
