Boxted Lodge was historically the hunting lodge for Boxted
Hall, extended in 1792 and again in 1886. It has been in the
same family ownership since 1978. The house achieved its
Grade II listing in 1982 for its Georgian style and features. There are 8 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 4 formal reception rooms.

The garden and grounds surrounding the house are laid to lawn with established herbaceous borders and flower gardens. There is a stunning walled garden at the rear of the property which boasts beautiful flowers, planted borders and ornate box hedging, as well as rare trees and an orchard. Set within the walled garden are two greenhouses, a vegetable patch and plenty of space for entertaining or garden games.

There are two cottages, Garden Cottage and Gate Cottage, both with two bedrooms and private gardens and will be offered with Vacant Possession on completion.

There are a range of outbuildings, including potting sheds, log stores, workshops and a car port for two cars to the rear of the house. There is a further courtyard of period outbuildings set off the main drive with traditional stables, garaging and additional storage which offers the opportunity for conversion or modernisation, subject to the necessary consents. Adjacent to the Tower yard is a stable block that houses two stables and a tie-up area.

The land at Boxted Lodge extends to 23.76 acres, 14 acres of which are paddocks and meadows. The land is well fenced
and there is water supplied to the fields.


Boxted Lodge is approached via a long gravel private drive off Boxted Straight Road, on the edge of the Dedham Vale AONB. The house is set in a secluded and picturesque position in rural Essex, with the benefits of great connectivity.

Colchester can be reached in less than 10 minutes and offers a range of shopping, educational, recreational and leisure facilities. The village of Boxted is home to a prep school and primary school, village hall and a café. Nearby, a butcher, greengrocer, post office and various farm shops can be found, with a Waitrose in Colchester.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on February 13, 2024

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 13, 2024

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
